kids say the funniest/weirdest/most creative stuff

DD (9) and I are having a cuddle, she's stroking my hair.
I'm absolutely shattered so I say: " I'm so tired and it's so nice that you are looking after me."
Her: "Hmmm, would you like me to cut up a lemon and put a piece in your mouth?"
Me: 😳🤔😁 "ummmm, not particularly...but why?"
Her: "because it would wake you up!"

🤣 but aww, how sweet is that? also no clue where that idea came from, but I love her outside-of-the box thinking!

so what amusing stuff have you heard from child/ren or said as a child?

When DS2 was small (maybe 3 or 4) he told me he loved me more than a stinging nettle

One Christmas Eve several years ago, my DH and I were out at a pub, having our meal and we were sitting next to a family with two DDs. The youngest began playing up over something (I don't know what she was doing) and the DMum said "Ah! You still need to be good, even on Christmas Eve. Santa is still watching!" The elder sister turned to an elderly relative and said "Yeah. Santa's got a really good skelly-tope [telescope] hasn't he, Uncle?" One of those sweet but funny moments!

Another time, I was out and about, white face paint, black lipstick and black clothes. A little boy actually pointed to me and said to his DMum "Mummy, is that lady a vampire?" I couldn't stop laughing but the poor mum was mortified! I assured her that no offence was taken and her DS that no, I'm not a vampire. I just like to pretend to be one!

A final one, this time said to a little boy rather than said by him. In the aisle of a supermarket, I heard a lady say "No [boy's name]. I said pull your trousers up, not pull your pants down!" If this lady is on MN, I'm very sorry for laughing. It's just the way you said it. I hope I didn't cause offence.

🤣

good stuff!

DS3 once couldn't sleep because "my nails are too long mummy!"

and DS4 once had the excuse: "mummy, I can't sleep because my feet were cold yesterday "
🤷‍♀️🤣

I should add, I don't go out as a goth every time. Everything I own is black, but I don't always wear goth make up!

When I was a child, I made my dad take off my shoe and sock because I was complaining that it was full of glitter. My dad shook them both and showed me that there was no glitter in my shoe or sock. My foot had gone to sleep and it felt all fizzy.

My sister was hilarious when she was younger. Around 9 years old we went to a Haven site only about an hour away from where we lived.. when we rocked up she said, "Mum, do they take our currency here?" Fits of laughter errupted. 😂

Another funny one she pulled was my dad brought us an RC car, it was quite big/heavy and went really fast. My sister proceeded to ram it into a rather nice couple of ornaments of my mums on the patio smashing them both, she walked up to my dad, handed him the remote and said, "well, mums not going to be happy when she sees that." And walked off! Leaving my dad stood there like.. oh shit 😆
