This made me smile so much.

Two small kids chatting to one another in the next cubicle after their swim.

they were clearly very impressed by the skills of a slightly older child.

“I think she’s a proper swimmer, she has one of those things on her head to cover her hair like they do in the Olympics, and she’s wearing a yellow band, which means she gets to stay in longer than us. She must be training for the Olympics.”

All this at a regular splash and play session in the council pool!

Awww so cute.

My DD to me some years ago.

"Mummy. Your boobies are low"

I heard someone laugh in another cubicle.

That is cute. Has raised a smile here.

That is so cute! My daughter once said 'daddy you have a floppy bottom' as they were getting changed in the cubicle next to me and our other daughter. I definitely heard sniggers from another cubicle

Aww bless them. A little boy once asked my son who was then 10 for his autograph in the swimming changing room because he had a swimming club hat on and could swim butterfly so was obviously going to be in the Olympics.

i love these little stories!

MajesticWhine · 19/02/2023 21:12

One of my DDs asked very loudly once in the changing rooms why she couldn't see my vagina. I said it's because it's hidden. She then kept repeating "why is your vagina hiding mummy" at the top of her voice. BlushGrin

My DS once declared there was no way I would be allowed in the pool as it would be like when I got in the bath and the bath overflowed. And yes I could hear the sniggering from everyone else waiting to go in the pool.

Sexypyjamas · 19/02/2023 21:14

That's very cute OP. @JustDrama that made me laugh out loud. My eldest boy told the younger one quite flippantly to "focus, just focus" when we were getting dressed because it was cold and he wanted us all to hurry up!

bcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyza · 19/02/2023 21:15

My son came out with "mummy your pants are wet" they fell onto the wet stuff and I decided not to put them on.

Hahahahaha that’s very funny.
Good for you for teaching her the proper words for it at a young age! Can’t stand all these silly words for normal body parts.

That is so cute OP

TellMe102 · 19/02/2023 21:27

When can i have a brother or sister.... he got one 8 years later snd their bond is so precious to see x

elevenplusdilemma · 19/02/2023 21:29

More exciting than what I overheard in the cubicle next to me at the pool this afternoon: a little girl telling her younger sister to make sure she dried her 'flower' properly before putting her knickers on 😂

Boringcookingquestion · 19/02/2023 21:30

I overheard a mum in the changing room toilet telling her daughter she could wee first. The little girl said she didn’t need to go. When the mum asked why she’d come to the toilet if she didn’t need a wee, the little girl said “I just wanted to watch you go” as if it was the most obvious thing in the world Grin

coronafiona · 19/02/2023 21:33

Why have you got a party pooper up your bottom.
Thankfully not me, the child of a friend of a friend Grin

Pricklyheath · 19/02/2023 21:37

At the pool on my own a mum and small dc we’re getting changed. The dc looks at me and sees my belly button piercing.
Mummy, that lady has a pin in her tummy.
Mum, disapprovingly, yes she has. Gives me a filthy look and takes dc further away along the bench.
I guess a middle aged woman like me should know better!

Mummy your bum's hairy Blush

I got "Mummy, I can see your fur"

Onemoremakesthree · 19/02/2023 21:43

Oh that's so sweet

I was in the park with toddler DC3 the other day and overheard a 6ish yo telling his older brother 'that's [DC1's] brother you know, you know who [DC1] is don't you?"..... DC1 is 17 and dances at the same school as the start struck little one 😆🥰

chickbean · 19/02/2023 21:44

Overheard in the toilets.

Mum: Why are you wearing three pairs of pants?

Little boy: I like pants.

Honeymoone · 19/02/2023 21:46

My child when I was laying in the bath.

‘mummy, your tummy is like ham’

My DD to me in Center Parcs cubicle, ‘mummy will I have a hairy front bum like you, I really don’t want all that hair’. You’d think we were in the Apollo - I had to laugh

CatMattress · 19/02/2023 21:50

I overheard a gleeful "mummy, I done a weeee!" From the shower cubicle across from me, followed by a very weary sigh from the mummy in question
