Was having a chat with my minimally verbal 4yo DS before bed, abut ear wax. I said to him he has ear wax to stop bugs from getting inside his ears. He responded, in his own version of words, that he doesn't need ear wax, because if a bug goes in his ear he would just shoot himself in the ear to kill the bug 🫠 he was entirely confused as to why I found this so funny lol

Now I need to know what other funny / silly things kids come out with, because that did tickle me haha

My DS, at the age of 6, regaling me of the reasons we celebrate Remembrance Sunday. “Years ago, Germany attacked France so France built a big wall to keep them out. It was massive - the biggest wall in the world! It was called ‘The Great Wall’. British soldiers got sent to France to climb up it but loads of them fell off into the poppy fields and died. So now we wear poppies to remember all the brave soldiers who fell off the great world wall”.

Oh DS thought it was the Wild War. Because all the armies fighting in it were so lawless.

Also thought the alphabet song went: “abcdefg hijk hello hello P!”

My son was about 3 and whilst shopping announced in the wine isle “mummy’s juice”. He was about 4 and was in the bath and was touching his penis and started to panic saying his penis was stuck!

Aged 3/4, daughter looks closely at my face.
"You've only got a little moustache, Mummy, but it's really nice and you're trying hard with it aren't you?"

'Carry me', I can't I'm carrying a bag, 'I'll carry your bag... now carry me'. So bloody smart, about two at the time.

I apologised for being snappy recently and blamed my period (old enough for these conversations) , the response: ‘I thought old people didn’t get periods’.

Not my DC (none yet!) but my younger brother when he was very small - I really loved looking after/mothering him. Often did his evening bathtime.

Our mum use to use a pumice stone - gently! - to exfoliate off ink if we'd drawn on ourselves.

I can only assume this is the reason my then v little brother, during bathtime, saw me pick up the pumice stone and said "Oh no! Not the punishment stone!"

This had me cracking up hahaha the punishment stone 😭

Not my child but me. Apparently I’d just started infants. My dad was a huge huge football fan so we often had football on the tv. He joined in good natured banter with his colleagues some of whom were massive rugby fans. My dad happened to be watching the rugby and I saw them going into a scrum. Apparently I said” oh daddy we played that at school. “. Dad said “ no I don’t think you do darling “ . “Yes daddy we do, I played it today” . Dad was completely confused and said “ what, you play rugby at school “ . “ no daddy that’s called , in and out the dusty bluebells “ . My dad thought this was the funniest thing he’d ever heard and I think he mentioned it regularly at work about how even 5 year old little girls played rugby.

Hahaha awww thats hilarious and so sweet! I can see why he found it funny lmao
