To think my mum has lost it?

My mummy has grown a big tummy and she keeps trying to tell me she has babies inside it. I mean, FFS. I am not stupid, I know what a baby is!

AIBU to not believe her?

love MissSantanaLopez (17 months old)

My Mummy has the same problem. Surely she's just eaten too much cake?

Yanbu! My mummy keeps telling me that my auntie is growing a baby in her tummy! What rubbish! We all know you buy babies at the shops!

Love MiniSienna

My Mummy is 94 and she says she's past it Grin

MrsWinnibago · 22/07/2014 12:01

YANBU. If she's been eating babies then you ought to report her.

Shock my mummy wouldn't eat a baby! She does like cake though. Maybe I should tell my granny.

Well how did it get there then!? Confused

SiennaBlake · 22/07/2014 12:13

Maybe it crawled up her bum?! Confused

You needy peanut until you're at the supermarket, or maybe having tea with local vicar and ask her how it got there.

Oh I love the big tummy! Who cares what's inside? It's great for grinding an elbow into, or jumping on suddenly, or leaning against then randomly and without warning head butting. Sooo comfy!

How weird! My mummy said the same thing. I had a good look through her tummy button but I definitely can't see one. I did this face Hmm and left it at that.

Oh yes, BabyGrinch. I like standing on the tummy to put clips in mummy's hair, but she doesn't appreciate my style.

How strange that all these mummies have big tummies Hmm

My mummy tells me the same. All I can see is a podgy cake belly and the sparkly bar that makes her squeak when I pull it!

I don't have to worry about it for a long time, my mummy said that I can't have a baby until I am 85. There are a lot of old ladies out there!

Did you know they just get fat from eating weird things? Then, you stay with relatives while they pick one (or more) to take your place.

Watch yourself - next thing you know, she is going to want to take away your nappies.

Trust me - I am old!

How does your mummy have a sparkly bar? Envy

I am not giving up my nappies. No way Shock And what do you mean by picking one? A baby? Mummy says two babies. Are they coming to my house?

Miss Santana Lopez They will consider themselves entitled to your mummy's attention when you require it. You have been warned!

Give your mummy our love and best wishes and have some yourself too.

Bearsinmotion · 22/07/2014 13:28

OMG, no! I love my nappies.

Mummy keeps trying to steal my bottle too. Ain't happening.

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 22/07/2014 13:36

My mummy told me that too, but watch out - last week she went away and came back with a real baby! She lets me kiss it but gets very cross when I poke it quizzically and smack its head to see what she does.

CallMeExhausted · 22/07/2014 14:34

Yes - she is going to bring Real Live Babies into the house, and you don't even get to play with them like dollies.

YOU DON'T EVEN GET TO PICK WHAT SHE BRINGS HOME! IT MIGHT BE 2 BOYS!!!!!

They make a lot of noise (and sometimes your mummy won't be able to quiet them) and they get to use nappies and pacifiers and bottles or boobies. Mummy and Daddy will carry them everywhere but expect you to walk.

It is awful!

BUT... When they get older (yeah, they even grow!) they can be kind of fun. You will always be the oldest, which makes you the boss.

Don't let Mummy and Daddy think otherwise.

Stick with me, kid, I will teach you stuff...

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 22/07/2014 14:43

I keep pulling up my Mummy's top and demanding to see her tummy as there is clearly no baby there.

I've told her I don't want a brother or sister so why does she keep asking me?

GingerRodgers · 22/07/2014 14:46

Mummy has been telling me for ages there's a baby in her tummy but I've seen how much cake she eats. I'm just nodding and smiling. I know the 'baby' has got me a present so I'm just biding my time.
She also took my nappies away last week. Just because I tried on my peppa pants and said I wanted to wear them. I didn't mean it though! I'm not even allowed to pee in them Hmm
