To be completely flattered, by a little boy .....

[redflag]

Referred to me as a girl yesterday. i was so happy ha ha ha. He was about five.

Oh how lovely! A little boy once called me a pretty lady. I was smiling for a week! It didn't happen very often!

Enjoy it!

Bless!!!

YANBU. Think about how many kids think adults are ANCIENT even when they are only in their 30s, for e.g.

Make him your friend!!!

i think i will befriend him, he was so cute too (looked like a mini tom hanks hee hee). I was really made up DH said i was really sad think he was jealous, Children normally ask me if he is my dad.

I used to work in a school, and one little boy who couldn't fasten his coat said 'I'll ask that big girl.' Loved him.

On the other hand, some children were using a snake-and-ladder game painted on the playground. One called to me 'come and stand on your age Miss.'
When I hesitated she said kindly 'Don't worry, it goes up to ninety!' :)

I was 29.

obviously you should have pulled him up on his use of demeaning patriarchal language and sent him on an awareness class [channels the feminist topic]

BuntyPenfold, that really made me giggle

CerealOffender, i think i will let him slide, as he was such a cutie pie.

If you want endless hours of hilarity - work in schools. Them trying to guess your age is always amusing, you watch them mentally comparing you to their parents then coming out with numbers ranging from 20 to 50 (didn't like the 50 as much).

Or tell them that when you were a kid there were only 4 channels on the TV - that one usually generates hilarious looks of horror. Had one ask me if TV in the 1980s was in black and white a few weeks ago.

Yes, I'm a teacher and I've been asked if I'm anything between 18 and 50! I'm 31 bty and started teaching when I was 22! I had a boy ask me yesterday if I was 'small in the 60s?' Thanks! I like the ones who ask me if I'm 21!

I think imight take up working in a school then.

I got a lot of marriage proposals too!

How lovely

I was on the bus a few weeks ago, and a little boy who must have been about 5 said to his dad "Daddy, remember when Mummy used to be pretty like that lady there [points at me]... and then she grew a big bum hehehehehe!"

[hgrin] Didn't know where to put my face.

Haa haa haa poor mummy Shewillbeloved.

BuntyPenfold, thats so sweet, might get a job as a dinner lady to feed my ego.

My 9yo brother asked me to marry him yesterday and to run away to Australia with him.

When my Dad came in to talk about holidays at the Seaside when he was a little boy my class of Y2's wanted to know if he was from the Victorian times.
Emptyshell I must be even older than you as I remember only 3 channels on TV!

Ahhhh that is so sweet Saltdog, Did you say yes?

Chamander, the imaginations of some little ones are superb. Bless what did your dad think about that?

My son asks anyone with a beard if they are father Christmas. doesn't go down well sometimes (he doesn't yet notice people are fat or thin, he is 4.)

I have been asked (I am 42)

Was I evacuated in the war?

Had I met queen Victoria?

Would I like to go and work for his dad as I would do well ( dad was local pimp). Child then turned towards my colleague lifted his eyebrows to me and said- but she'd be no good. We were both 30 year old mums and teachers. Not sure if I was pleased or upset.

My son asked my father if he had ever killed a dinosaur when he was a boy.

When I was 25 I went on holiday with my parents to Barbados where we befriended this little local boy. We were going off somewhere and he wanted to come so I said something like, "Sorry, it's for grown ups only" and he burst out laughing and replied, "But you're not a grown-up!"

My DH is a secondary school teacher and last year he mentioned his new car to his youngest set. One of them said, "Sir, you're old enough to drive??" He's 31!

My wonderful Son looked at my magazine with a huge double page spread full of supermodels, very glamourous looking, impossibly perfect and young, and said....

.. "oh look, there is loads of mummies" !!

He is only 3. I'm 41 and not a supermodel

redflag the way dd is behaving today its tempting

You must be Twocatbeds

Bue thats hilarious

Simbacat, Bit worrying that one, but the dinosaurs bit made me giggle my head off.

Sweet. I was visiting a friend the other week, and her little boy came up and said " I like your top!" - he's not quite 3, bless him.

Awwww how sweet

brilliant!

Where are all these sweet children? Mine seem to have bypassed that stage. DS2 has on various occasions embarrased me in public by asking very loud, innocent questions...On a packed bus, turns round to me and asked if I was on Noah's boat...In a packed supermarket, asking if I played with dinosaurs when I was his age...Gotta love 'em....

I painted some murals at a primary school a few years ago. One of the children asked me if i wanted to be an artist when i grew up - i was 27 at the time
