DS (4): Daddy, I don't like my name. I'd like to change it.
DH: hmm, what would you like to be called?
DS: I'd like to be called 'Low Profile'.

Confused

DH, to me: do you like to be in middle management?
DS: Daddy, I'm also in middle management at my school!
DH: really! How so?
DS: well sometimes I tell others to tidy up, and sometimes others tell me to tidy up.

My 2 year old DN to a cashier yesterday....
"My mummy's in the hospital."
"Oh that's a shame. Why is she on the hospital?"
"She's having her boobies done!" 😱😱

My poor sister was in hospital having a baby not a boob job!

Me: Did you fall over?

Son: "No, I LITERALLY did"

Confused

His other recent thing is calling everyone in the house "mate".

DS was playing with DM's mostly grey hair, but found a small patch not quite so grey and exclaimed "Nanna, you're going dark!"

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 06/01/2016 12:35

Grin @ Alison.

These are very funny.

angemorange · 06/01/2016 12:52

When my DS was 4 we were out in town and he pointed at a woman in the shop we were in and said "oh look Mummy, there's God!"

When I said "Why do you think she's God?", he said "She brings our lunches in to nursery every day and then we have to pray to her to thank her!!"

Guess it made more sense to a 4 year old to thank the one he could actually see!

New girl in my swimming class.

"Mummy - I wiped my bottom all by myself!"
"Oh, well done!"
"...so I don't need you any more - and you'll be dead soon, anyway."
Shock

12 years later, I am still here...and he does still need me, though he'd never admit it Grin

DP giving out about the constant roadworks going on on the main road between our house and town.
DD 6yo: "Well Mamái when exactly would you like them to do roadworks?"
DP: "Umm, never!"
DD: "Well Mamái that's just silly now isn't it? We'd all have to go around on a crooked earth place then wouldn't we?"

Dd (3yo) sat rubbing her eye yesterday.

Me: are you alright, do you have something in your eye?
Dd: yes - an eyeball Confused

thenewaveragebear1983 · 06/01/2016 15:12

My 3 yo ds once said when he grew up he wanted to be a Mexican doctor....turns out he meant Mr conductor, from dinosaur train. Recently he had a little spot on his arm. Paranoid about the pox with a new baby, I said "what's that?" To which he replied , its my boob. I said what's it for? He matter of factly answered "its for feeding babies with"..... When I continued to poke it thoroughly to determine if it was actually the pox, I was firmly told that "you shouldn't touch people's boobs unless they say you can". Sound advice, I think imparted by daddy....

Four year old boy at work:
"How old are you Middle?"
"Well, about 50"
"I didn't know you could be that old before you're dead."

Another child at work:
"I'm poorly"
"Oh dear, what's the matter with you?"
"I've got too much snot up my nose and it's stuck"

My two young nieces K and M were very excited to find out the sex of my baby and asked me to call them after the scan.

Me: The baby is a boy!
K: ...
Me: K, are you there?
K: Yeah.
Me: Are you happy the baby is a boy?
K: No, do you want to speak to M? (Rhetorical question as phone is then shoved to M.)
Me: Hey M, the baby is a boy!
M: Puts the phone down.

My ds2 (3.5) has recently discovered that playing with his willy is nice and we repeatedly tell him its not appropriate downstairs and to go to his room. Conversation the other day went:

Me: ds stop playing with your willy
Ds: but mummy i like it.
Me: i dont care
Ds: go and play with your willy mummy
Me: i dont have a willy
Ds: play with my willy
Me: (lost for words)
Ds: you do have a willy mummy
Me: i dont
Ds: yes you do let me see

All this whilst my dad was visiting and he was wetting himself.

turdfairynomore · 06/01/2016 19:22

The DDs of a friend of ours wanted a digy. Pleaded whined, whinged and begged for one for weeks. One day, the girls were playing mum off against dad and he had said " ask your mum when you can get a dog-that is up to het"When they came to ask "daddy says you decide when we get a dog"she snapped " you can get one when your daddy dies!".....their response.... "Yeah! Will it be soon?"
