to be very offended by what my 5yo said today?

[RachelBerry]

Apparently, she loves me 'just the same' as Miss Honey from Matilda. Not more, just the same (and I get the impression she was only saying 'the same' to make me feel better)

AIBU to hide the DVD until she remembers where her loyalties lie?!

Yanbu! my dd5 tells me over and over how she wishes she could live with granny murray from me too (cbeebies)

Ha ha brilliant , my DD loves Granny Murray (and Bobbi the bus cleaner too) - she thinks they are fab.

YABU because it could be worse!-mine loves nanny Plum more than me and she's not even that nice!

Granny Murray! Purple Granny Murray! That would be a step too far.

I am not thought fit to even impersonate Captain Barnacles but I am considered of about equal lovability as Prof Inkling. Ie verbose and largely irrelevant.

Sleepyhead33 your DD had DH and I howling with laughter!!
Mine doesn't love tv characters more than me, but she does want to live at nursery because 'Mummy's drawings of dinosaurs are rubbish' - I can't even argue that one, cos they are!

Granny Murray?!!!!

PMSL, my kids would be out of the door if they said granny Murray was equal to me

YABU Jenny Honey is perhaps the ultimate woman. You should be honoured to be mentioned in the same sentence as her

YABU there is no higher honor

My DD told me she loved the dog 'just a bit' more than me today. She isn't even a titchy sweet little 5 yo she's nearly 11!

Ha ha, brilliant about Nanny Plum.

You're all right. I'm lucky to be even considered an equal, bloody Miss Honey. How can I ever compete??

TooOld that's hilarious! Although good. I always start to shift a but uncomfortably when my children bring up dog life expectancy. I love our dog so so much but he is a bit grumpy and ancient and considers the children minor irritations when they are not surreptitiously feeding him their own supper.

However they don't see his loyalty (he doesn't let other dogs near them) or his sense of humour (he swings their bicycle helmets away from them,if he's feeling skittish runs off with shoes etc) they just want a shiny new puppy and their treachery kills me. How, how could they be so shallow?
