DS is 2yo and for a while has provided brilliantly random responses to questions. So now I consult him for every minor decision/query

DS, shall I have a cup of tea? 'Of course, mummy'
DS, will daddy be late home? 'No no no mummy'
Does my bum look big in this, DS? 'Yes mummy'
Will I ever lose 3st and regain my waist, DS? 'If you want to mummy'

He's been quite accurate so far. He's asleep now but if anyone has any burning questions I can put them to him in the morning Grin

Toddler-Magic-Eight-Ball, will Bogeyface win the lottery jackpot in the next 12 months?

that depends. do you shake him first?

  • Should Laughing eat the chocolate brownie in the fridge which doesn`t strictly speaking belong to her, but she is sure her DS won`t mind?

Actually Im not sure I can wait until the morning - Please go and wake DS ..... Its an emergency!

Could you tell him Auntie Worra would like the winning lottery numbers please? Grin

I have one of those toddler magic 8 ball things but it is broken.
'What would you like on your toast, Toddler Magic 8 Ball?'
'Jam.'
'Jam it is then.'
'No jam. Marmite.'
'Ok then, Marmite's fine.'
'No Marmite. Jam! Honey! Primula! Marmite! No Marmite. No jam. No honey. No Primula.' etc

Ooh, Primula

Dear magic 8 boy, will Mcphee ever empty her ironing basket?

Proudnscary · 20/01/2012 20:55

I thought eight ball was a term/euphemism for cocaine?! Confused

SmethwickBelle · 20/01/2012 20:58

I am so doing that. Not now, obviously, just got him asleep.

Or meth, Proudnscary Grin

Please can you ask your son the following vital question:

Should sardinequeen hassle the builder?

And if there is time for more:

Are sausages a force for good or evil?

Thank you

Tunip - I have a broken one too - seems to be stuck on "No"
