Page 12 | Over heard in the swimming pool changing room today

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!

In 30 years, I hope Rory and Abigail have met, married, procreated, and are on here letting us know the wise words of their progeny.

:o

Getting changed in a cubicle once, hear a knock on the door "yes?" I ask thinking someone may have left something. When a little voice asks "do you have a hairy fanny?" Then I hear......"Abigail, come here now"
I'm sitting here laughing like Muttley at this. 😂

When my youngest stepson was about five, he liked to go to bed in the main bedroom, watch a bit of a film, then his dad would take him into his own bed when he'd fallen asleep.
One evening dad was settling him in the big bed.
"Daddy?"
"Yeah?"
"Have you had sex in this bed?"
Daddy, caught totally on the back foot. "Yes....?" thinking, wtf am l saying?!
"How many times?"

We found out later that the eldest (he was 10) had been having sex education at school, and had taken it upon himself to enlighten the little un. Swiftly followed up by "Ask dad about it...."
Words were had.

On a bus a friend had told her DD not to talk loudly about people in front of them. so she pointed at a lady on the bus and announced loudly, "mummy, when we get home we are going to talk about her!"

The best comedy writers in the world couldn’t do better than this, it’s brilliant!

That might conceivably have been us. I stepped with bare feet onto a very used tampon in a changing room at centre parcs.

BlackberryandNettle · 20/02/2023 18:45

Made our day in centre parcs a few years ago: we overhead from the next cubicle: 'mummy what's this?', then a woman said 'no! Don't touch it - we're changing cubicles, no! don't step on it for god's sake!' no idea what the offending object was 😱

Meant to reply to this post there, not quite sure what I did wrong sorry 😂

Heard this just as I came out of the pool this evening and remembered this thread!

"Someone's stolen my knickers and my shampoo"

babysgotthespends · 21/02/2023 20:57

This is a lovely thread.

My daughter was watching me change and pointed at my chest and said what are they? Nipples I replied. Meatballs?!? You've got hig meatballs!
She then commented that I looked like a mermaid when I put my bra on so I forgave the massive nipples comment

ScruffMuffin · 21/02/2023 22:00

I too hope that Rory and Abigail meet each other and have hilarious kids!

@HenryCavillsPerfectTeeth 😂at someone stealing knickers and shampoo! Why would anyone want to steal someone else's knickers?!

My 7 year old accused another dc of stealing his pants.
The teacher and I realised that he had forgot to put any on when getting ready for school and only realised he didn’t have any after the P.E. Lesson!

When I was about four, I was fascinated by my best friend's bilingualism in English and German. Neither of us always pronounced words with absolute accuracy. I have been told that my dad once came home from work, and I ran up to him, telling him excitedly, "Daddy, Daddy, I know what sex is!' 'Oh, do you?' 'Yes, it's six in German!'

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 21/02/2023 23:00

@AGoldenNarwhal that mum sounds amazing. Too bad the Dad didn't suggest taking at least one of the kids to get changed !

JustGotToKeepOnKeepingOn · 21/02/2023 23:03

My DD told me how she liked my back boobs as much as she liked my front boobs.

Karatema · 21/02/2023 23:04

Crying with laughter, thank you all 😂

MidtoLon · 21/02/2023 23:35

In London. Child looking at the soldiers on horses who wear bearskins that you can stand next to for a photo
Child in loud voice ‘Mummy the soldier man looks like daddy’
Mummy ‘ Yes maybe a bit’
Child ‘Do you think he has hair like daddy under his big hat’
Mummy ‘Maybe’
Child ‘ Do you think he has a penis like daddy’
How he kept a straight face I’ll never know. All the tourists were really laughing and mum was mortified. Yes it was me!

thaegumathteth · 22/02/2023 00:22

@Pricklyheath after a particularly hectic morning Dd (6/7) realised whilst getting changed for PE that she still had her PJs on under her uniform. How we didn't notice I'll never know (it was a vest and shorts not full but still) . Much hilarity ensued.

I went to the bathroom in a shopping centre with DS3. He was in the cubicle with me. He said quite loudly “mummy if I touch the floor is it a good idea or a bad idea?” Woman in the next cubicle said “BAD IDEA”. We both laughed.

Paperdolly · 22/02/2023 07:10

Watching Emmerdale showing how they ‘dressed’ a ram with a harness my DD asked what they were doing. I explained the harness has a colour in that will make a mark on each sheep he jumps on the back of to make babies with.
“Has daddy got one?” She asked. 😮

sashh · 22/02/2023 09:49

One I saw online, little girl playing with dad's phone but doesn't realise it is video recording her, she talks about the pretty girl and asks dad who the pretty girl is.

And of course it is her.

When he told me, the first thing l said was "You didn't tell him, did you?" and he said "How the hell am l supposed to remember that?"
We laughed afterwards, though. And he had a word with both of them.
