Things only children can get away with saying...

[SchnizelVonKrumm]

DS(4) is very pleased with some new pants I bought him with a dinosaur design. So pleased that he wanted to wear them straightaway, and couldn't wait to show DP when he got home from work, saying "Daddy, I've got a surprise for you under my trousers!". It was so innocent and funny!

What have your children said that only a little child could get away with?

'Come here mummy. I want to count the lines on your forehead'...

My four year old was terrible for this about six months ago!
My mum read him the pied piper and the next time we were at the shops he pointed at a woman with a stick and said look mama she’s lame
When did you get such a fat tummy to my sister in law, she’s pregnant
Why does that lady have brown skin, will my skin turn brown too
A man behind us in a wheelchair, look mama he’s chasing me as he gleefully ran away
I have died a thousand deaths with this child! Obviously after each of these I’ve had age appropriate chats with him about why we don’t ask these questions in public but JFC

Oh and after explaining that his great grandma had died, when you die mama will you be bones in the ground or burnt to a crisp 🤦🏻‍♀️

Turned up to a campsite yesterday to the couple on the plot behind us taking up our plot too with their massive motorhome. They very begrudging moved their stuff with lots of huffing and puffing that we inconvenienced them by wanted to set up on OUR booked space.

Dd (2) proceeded to call their expensive looking motorhome a bus very loudly for next few days whilst pointing at it. They looked most annoyed 🤣

When DS was about 3 he was obsessed with his penis and I told him that if he kept playing with it that it would fall off. I’ll never forget his serious face and “is that what happened to you???”. Ha!

My mum has kept a quote book ever since my birth, so lots of these thing we said were written down at the time, over the years. My brother once quoted Roald Dahl, referring to our grandparents as “old and crumply”.

Great vocabulary, though, lots of adults don’t know what a Belisha beacon is. Was that from the Tufty Club, by any chance?

When I was getting married, my 6 year old nephew asked if I could marry him instead lol

My friend had been teaching her 5 year old that it was rude to call people fat.

When I went to visit she said " Arti, you're a...bit plump".

I don’t think so; I think Tufty was a bit earlier than me. I just had a fascination for them and traffic lights at that age, but more so the Belisha beacon (I have no idea why and it didn’t last too long). I think it was just one of those words that I parroted because my family said it a lot due to my fascination, if that makes sense? Although I obviously did use it in quite a comedic context with the hat lady!

"Ha, you're blind, you can't see!"

One child chose to say this during a game at youth group, for which a child had their eyes covered, and had to guess who was speaking in a funny voice. She didn't totally get away with it, though: this girl had her turn to guess next, and the leader gave her a special forfeit: if she got all her guesses wrong, she would stay blindfolded for the rest of the game. And she did get them all wrong!

🤣🤣🤣

My 3yo standing outside the bathroom door yelling at my DH in the shower: "Are you naked? Daddy, are you you naked?" on repeat. My parents were visiting and thought it was hilarious.

My 4yo keeps talking about the baby cat we're going to get when our (very healthy) 11yo dog dies. He did at one point propose giving the dog away so we can get the cat sooner.

That has made me almost PMSL. Hilarious!

Ds 2 in a pub toilet "daddy, is that man doing a poo? He's been in there a long time". Un named man in cubicle kept quiet...

Ds 1 about an elderly man standing next to us at the shop check out "does that man have a willy?" Prompted by a conversation about male/ female anatomy.

Ds2 when watching me put a tampon in in a public toilet "mummy, why are you putting a sweetie up your bottom?" 😂

My 3 year old walking into the bathroom whilst I was in the shower, "Aw mummy, you don't have a willy. Never mind!"
