I'm 5, AMA

[Soitis83]

My son’s home from school with a fever. He's fine, just laying about.
You ask, I’ll ask, he’ll answer. Together we’ll tackle the big questions of the universe with the wisdom of a 5-year-old who’s been outsmarting me since he could talk. AMA (Ask My Apprentice).

So don't read it.

I'm really sorry @Soitis83 to mention my sons love being dads because I just read that your lovely boys' dad isn't there. Your children are extra lucky to have such a great mum in these circumstances. I should have probably read the whole thread before replying - which I still haven't done, sorry again xxx

350 replies would suggest otherwise!

Sigh……

Ah hope the little guy is feeling better soon ❤️

I googled this because I didn’t believe you that pterodactyls weren’t dinosaurs, and have now learned something new!

To the tune of Dionne Warwick……

i am loving this thead, it has brought back so many happy memories of when my child was small and all the hilarious and wonderful things they would say. There is something so refreshing about a child's eye view of the world

There was a time I could tell you the names and period of pretty much any ancient reptile you could throw at me. I put in more hours in dinosaur museums around the world than any non-professional should. I should probably have a Mary Anning long service medal or something. DS1 was very, very interested in dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs have different hip joints to lizards which allowed for much more efficient movement. As Shakira memorably put it, the hips are don't lie.

(How my son's autism diagnosis took so long is a mystery 😁 )

You’re clearly doing something right if he wants unlimited mummies❤️

Have you even been frightened? What was it that scared you?

Who does the smelliest farts in the family?

If you could have any animal as a pet, what would you have?

Love this ❤️❤️

I already asked my question and had it answered so this is for @Soitis83 and not junior

Thank you for this brilliant thread, it's really made me smile and top parenting as a way to keep him engaged and entertained whilst you are having the poorly snuggles ❤️ I hope junior feels much better soon x

Well, everyone's recent replies had this overtired mum very emotional. Thank you, so much.

He says he will answer more questions 'when I'm in the mood after my bath'. So I guess he's not quite in the mood yet.

He had a nap, slept for a long time, ate some toast and is now snuggled on the sofa. His temperature has come down after some Calpol.

Thank you everyone for acknowledging what a great little lad I have. I honestly couldn't be prouder of him if I tried. And also thank you for your kind words about me too, it's so easy to forget yourself in the midst of motherhood, or to doubt yourself and wonder if you're doing anything right. But I guess I am. Thank you, truly.

It was very entertaining to me and my son. We loved refreshing the page and he would get excited when he saw a new one. He called everyone his 'fans'.
I suppose it was entertaining to quite a few people, which brings me so much joy. It's a shame it wasn't entertaining for you, but I didn't force you to click, stay and read. You could've just looked and thought to yourself 'nah, not for me'. But instead, you decided to put some negativity onto what was meant to be an enjoyable experience for me, my son, and anyone who wanted to participate. I'm not sure why, but I hope you're okay on the inside ❤️

Whisper it but, ‘I don’t think wombats use toilets’.

Scroll on by meanwhile I’m nominating for Classics.

I can certainly confirm I am a 'fan'.

I was not having the best of days and the thread made me laugh and smile very very often.

@Soitis83 , my carful of family driving to the funeral are definitely fans - the thread help enliven a difficult day and sparked some fun conversations.

I hope your wee man is fighting fit tomorrow, and that his days are full of chips, skittles, pb&j sandwiches and Minecraft.

(Also glad to have you spread dinosaur facts)

Oh wow this absolutely made my day. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so glad my boy did for you, what he has done for me too many times. I've lost a lot of family and friends in a very short space of time, and he, along with my other two sons, have been an incredible light for me.

What a wonderful thread.

Thank you @Soitis83 and @Soitis83‘s son. Hope you’re feeling much better soon x

I want a laughing emoji and also a cross emoji.

@Soitis83 thank you for sharing your and his thoughts. I hope he feels better soon, its been really really entertaining talking with you both x

Gosh, I'm about ten times the OP's son's age and I have no idea who either of these people are!
