The lovely sayings of 6 year olds

[Oddsocks2]

This made me smile:

6-year old Ds has a couple of friends from school round to play the other day. After tea, I let them decorate biscuits with icing and sprinkles. In the excitement, one of the boys knocked a tub of sprinkles into the floor. He looked up at me with an anxious expression to see how I would react.
I said, ‘Don’t worry about that - I have a hoover’
He looked at me with wide eyes and replied in hushed and conspiratorial tones, ‘We also have a hoover.’

It was the cutest thing I’d heard in ages!
Please share your stories

DS says 'cor bless you!' if someone sneezes. I'm never correcting him.

Back in the day before feeding ducks bread was frowned upon went to local duck pond with DM who was visiting.

Grandma: When your mummy was a little girl she used to like feeding the ducks too!

DS (cheerily): I 'spect they're dead now.

G'son 6 in shop with me, buying cat food. He picked up a box of biscuits, looked at them and said 'I knew a kid who ate this cat food and he is dead now' Pure fiction but I snorted loudly in the shop.

At the weekend, whispering, 'Nanna, Mummy does really loud farts in the car'

Love him to bits.

Not so much a saying, but yesterday I was tucking into one my sacred not to be touched chocolate bars. 6 YO pipes up 'they are nice aren't they mummy? Granny gave me one on Saturday'.

My parents were looking after the kids at ours so my mum has bloody given him one out my secret stash. Little shits.

When my youngest started school she got herself all confused with the phrase non uniform day and called them an "off uniform" day - we now all - older siblings included, refer to off uniform days

Not 6, but age 4 was watching bloody Topsy and Tim. One of them was being a bit naughty and then mum told them to stop, which they did straight away - angelic children that they are. My 4 yr old laughed and said, that wouldn't happen would it mummy?!

Not so cute, but my youngest ds announced as we were driving by an old abandoned car park the other day, that "me and dad saw a man getting murdered in that car park"

He didn't, I confirmed with DP later. he is a strange child.

Chicken pops instead of pox. Currently going round the year like wildfire so I'm enjoying this often.

Bouncearoo - kangaroo
Bouncealine - trampoline
Beachside - seaside
Looking eyes - glasses
Old MacDonald Trump

Thought of another. He doesn't like boiled eggs but he loves spoiled eggs! Apparently a different thing though both sit in an egg cup!

Many years ago, when it was okay to watch Miss World well relatively okay, I am going back 40 years my young son said I ought to enter. He looked back at the winner being crowned on television and looked at me and said, "you might not win mummy, but you would come second".
I have never loved him quite so much as then!

Any time I thank my 6yr old DS for doing anything (tidying up etc), he replies "your pleasure" (you're welcome / my pleasure)

DD hates cheese and tomato (apparently)
Ask her if she wants cheese and tomato pizza and she'll turn up her nose.
But ask her if she wants a margarita pizza and she'll say "Ooh my favourite!"

Also, cardigan = cardinun.
Inset days are insect days.

I love this age!

'I want to play the sideways recorder' which I interpreted to be a flute.

Oh and she also thinks everyone lives until 100, so when asking me how old I am this year she says oh well atleast you won't be dead soon.. also funny on order relatives birthdays or if age comes into a conversation and DD very matter of factly says - well you've not got long have you!

My DD (8) still gets up on a morning and asks what's for supper (breakfast). She also still insists it's peach black not pitch black.

Ds2, when 6, was watching his older brother’s school play (it was something similar to Aladdin) and asked in all seriousness if the school owned its own magic carpet! If only!

He would have great difficulty in telling me what he’d had for his school dinner at that age, and when asked would say things like, ‘Oh we had those square yellow things with the black dots on them.’ Even my neighbour, who works as a dinner lady there, wasn’t quite sure what he meant!

Dd age 4 refers to the tip as the big buckets. It’s no longer called the tip in this house always the big buckets

We have yesterday yesterday for the day before yesterday which always makes me smile. I can't bear to correct her as it's so cute.

My dgs whispered conspiritorially to his df (my son):
"Daddy?"
"Yes?"
"Did you know my nanny is your mummy?"

Instead of accident my two (5 and 3) say accdidnt because you didn't mean to do it. Not correcting them.

My DD 6 calls cardigans 'cardiwarms' ❤️she's off I'll today and I've painted her toes for her whilst she lies on the sofa and told her it was a spa day "but Mummy where's my cunumber for my eyes?" Apparently when Daddy paints her nails (I didn't even know he knew where the nail polish was let along how to use it) he puts cucumber on her eyes double 🥰

Had the windows opened the other day as it was warm and a fly comes in and goes past ds 4 he turns round and looks at me really upset and serious and says "is this fly here because I'm smelly?"
Really made me laugh

My son was watching the London Marathon on Sunday and very seriously asked if Mo Farah was mummy’s brother. Which is interesting as I don’t have any brothers and am not of Somalian heritage.

I also asked if I could run as well as the ladies who won and he quite matter of factly said ‘no mummy you’d be at the back’

My 5 year old this morning was cute:

(It's my birthday tomorrow)... it's ok mummy, you don't look like old, you only have lines on your head when you sneeze.

He best have got me some Botox for my birthday 😂! You don't look THAT old?!

I have a twenty year old that will cheerily walk into a shop and ask for a Bar Mars .
Playing Lego the other day with DS and I was ruining it by driving to fast. I was instructed to drive "medium fast"
