To find kid's innocence incredibly cute?

[genuineidiot]

A family friend told me this story the other day:

Her and her family were looking after 2 young kids (7 and 9). This friend I am referring to is just 14 years old.

She told me that they were sitting at the dinner table and the 7 year old suddenly came out with: "X, you're 14, that means you know everything right"?
Friend said: "No, I wish I did but no one does".
Kid said: "But my mummy knows everything. She told me that".

AIBU to find this incredibly cute? What is the cutest most innocent thing your DC has ever asked you?

My now 19 year old years ago, i think she was about 7 asked for a baby brother. I explained it's not that easy to pick a baby's sex. She then continued that she would like a 4 year-old brother to play with. Hhmmmmmmm.

Flanders i’m laughing so much, especially at pearl clutching DC

When my now 16 year old DD was a toddler , we had spent the day at seaside talking about seagulls. She then asked me why there were no boys. When I asked what she meant she said " why are they all sea-girls and not any sea-boys? I love bringing this up every so often!

My 3 year old daughter picked up a charity leaflet for air ambulance and asked what it was.

I explained that they were doctors who fly to help you.

She asked "is that for when you get sick in a tree?"

Flanders... I laughed out loud at that!

This is giving me a right laugh to make my Friday even better

Just remembered a few of my sisters classics. Mum found her examining her teeth in the mirror, when she asked what she was doing sis said she was trying to find her sweet tooth. And when she was about 3/4 my aunt took her swimming, but she just stood at the side. When my aunt asked what was wrong she said she didn't want to get in because "it smells really deep". Bless her.

Dd was 3 & barefoot. I said that I was wearing my shoes on & she said she was only wearing her toes!

3 year old Ds found one of dh's shuttlecocks and asked what it was. Lengthy explanation followed about what you did with it and how some were made out of feathers. Ds listened carefully then came marching over to me and explained "Mummy this is a cockleshell. Sometimes they are made out of leaves" .....!

Inmyownlittlecorner - awwww!! That is so sweet but must have been so disappointing for her! I remember similar happening to me when I was a kid!!

Loving the sea-girls ;)

Awww, these are all so sweet! I always thought I didn't want kids...

One that I overheard from about five or so years ago (well before my own DS) has always stayed with me. Walking along the Thames back to the station after work, there was an older dad - or maybe grandad - with a boy of about four. They were looking at the river and spotted a Police boat:
Boy: why do they need Police boats on the river?
Dad (a bit unsure): well, they need to be there in case they need to sort out anything dangerous.
Boy (now with a serious, knowing look): Ah, yes... Crocodiles.

The lovely, childish innocence about crocodiles being the main river born hazard for the Police boat (as opposed to their rather grim usual work of looking for bodies, guarding against terrorists etc) really touched me.

Crocodiles

Not funny but really sweet.

During the summer whilst ds aged 10 was in hospital having chemo, he got into watching funny you tube videos. He was watching loads one day on kids opening christmas presents. In one video a little girl was crying and having a tantrum because her present wasn't right and she hadn't asked for said present. Ds turned round to me and said that she wasn't a very nice girl and even if Santa didn't bring him something he had asked for he would be grateful anyway for what he did bring and so should the little girl 💖

Whenever my 6yo DS sneezes, he then says "Bless Me". Makes me melt everytime....

Apparently my son used to watch a telly when he was in my tummy ( And occassionally he would look out at the world through my belly button).

When I was a child in the 1960s, I used to think that betting shops were sex shops.

Dodgy looking men went furtively in and out and you couldn't see through the shop window., unlike all other shops. I knew what went on there!

Working in childcare I've had many, a recent one was a little boy of 3.
We were sitting on the mat building a ninja turtle den with blocks.

Child: is that your boobs? (Pointing finger right at them)
Me: yes (wondering where this is going)
Child: My mummy says I'm not allowed to touch people's boobs
Me: yes mummy is right
Child: what will we use for the roof of the den?

I wonder what he was up too that mummy had to have that conversation with him 😂

Yesterday ds (2) asked me to 'turn off the wind'. Apparently it was too noisy and it was keeping him awake.

My friend took her DD and another child out for the day and the following conversation happened:

Girl 1: Let's be really good today.
Girl 2: Yes ok but being good is sooo hard.

Not sure of ages cos she'd posted on FB but they can't have been older than 6!

DD6. I was explaining how the turn of the earth makes it colder in autumn and changes take place with leaves and so on. DD said can we make covers for the trees so they don't get cold.

We also have Insect Days here - DS (then 4) visited his dad in hospital and cracked up the entire ward by announcing he was off school because of the Insect Day.

And it stuck.

The hospital also was accessed by an aaaaalops. Later these became known as Umble-umpces (ambulances).

DD3 puts on her sandals which are too small.
Me: DD you can’t wear those sandals anymore, your toes are peeping over the edge
DD: but Mammy, they want to see where they are going!
Still makes me smile, 6 years later. She’s not so cute now and not so pleased with too small shoes!

A few months ago I was walking my dogs at the park, 3 of them are shih tzus in full show coat so their hair is to the floor. Behind me I heard a little voice ask 'Mummy do those dogs have legs?'. It did make me smile :)

All my boys say 'bless you me' if they sneeze very cute.
