I hear you, you hate carrots, they're yucky yucky yucky andyou never want to have them.

That cheesey mash I make that you love so much? It aint that colour cos of cheese. IIt's that colour because it's 50% carrot.

You always ask for seconds,

While I have your attention, that crazy frog toy didn't break. I took out the batteries before I went stark raving mad.

Ha!

We have the 'music man' that drives around selling icecreams playing music for all the children too!

And 'water-flavoured' juice.

And DD, those arent 'fairy trees'. It's broccoli. And it's not 'fairy cabbages'. It's the evil that it Brussels sprouts!

....adds pink chicken to the list...

Oh and that megaphone thing on your fireman bicycle - it's not pretend and it does take batteries. It's just Never. Going. To. Happen.

LadyMilfordHaven · 28/07/2013 16:39

i dont GET parents who obsess about vegetables

BikeRunSki · 28/07/2013 16:38

Father Christmas really is looking at you through the burgular alarm cameras.

And your Mickey Mouse Grabby hand plus assorted other really annoyingand unmissed, toys, well they just went in.the bin.

HorryIsUpduffed · 28/07/2013 16:37

Grin DH laughed lots and has given DS1 some tap juice. DS1 laughed a similar amount.

messybedhead · 28/07/2013 16:37

Oh but I do feel guilty at giving you all those 'pea sweets' in a bowl as a treat when you were 2. Grin

Maybe I just am cruel ! Confused

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 28/07/2013 16:37

That man who mummy talks to at the door every once in a while? That's not Father Christmas's helper making spot checks. That's the postman.

AlpacaPicnic · 28/07/2013 16:35

I know someone who 'treats' their DC to lovely lovely 'tap juice' :D

messybedhead · 28/07/2013 16:35

You asked me why all those broken pieces of plastic tat that you so lovingly refer to as your toys... The ones you let me give to the 'poor children'... Why I put them all in a black bin bag to give to them!Grin

Ps. I'm not cruel; none of the toys were fit to give to anybody but the bin!

Howstricks · 28/07/2013 16:34

I didn't really phone Father Christmas....

BalloonSlayer · 28/07/2013 16:34

We are not being specially nice to you letting you always have the orange jam tarts. No one else likes them.

BalloonSlayer · 28/07/2013 16:33

I was lying when I said I was pleased when you learned to tell the time. Actually I was gutted. I couldn't tell you it was "Very late, WAY past your bedtime" and pack you off to bed early any more.

BalloonSlayer · 28/07/2013 16:31

I love it that you haven't worked out where the Diet Coke is hidden, even though when I say I will get you a can I go out the front door and there is only one place out the front it could be hidden and not be boiling hot. I know you haven't worked it out, because if you had you'd have drunk every can you thieving bugger.

Pagwatch · 28/07/2013 16:31

I can't really remember how it started but DD being a total numpty makes it easier.

BikeRunSki · 28/07/2013 16:31

While we are at it,Yorkshire Juice ? Well it' s actually Yorkshire Water.

Oh yes ds3s juice is also just water

MoominsYonisAreScary · 28/07/2013 16:28

Dds2 o have been blending veg, mushrooms and onions into your spag Bol and lasagne for as long as I can remember

HorryIsUpduffed · 28/07/2013 16:28

It was a sad day when DS1 realised that the "song van" sold ice creams. We had never told him it didn't; he named it.

::le sigh::

Pascha · 28/07/2013 16:28

Hmm. That juice in your cup? Thats water, that is. Water-flavoured juice Smile.

How many years can I get away with that one?

CalpolInMyEar · 28/07/2013 16:28

DS is only 21mo but I also hide veg in food and will continue to do so for a long time if he's anything like my DH!

Meanwhile...

The singing moose is not broken. I took the batteries out after you found it when you were meant to be napping and I had to listen to it over the monitor for half an hour.

MoominsYonisAreScary · 28/07/2013 16:27

Grin at squid being flowers
