To find kid's innocence incredibly cute?

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 son (aged 3) has only got one testicle and we've been very upfront with him about it. One day he was talking about his testicle and I told him again that his other one had been poorly so had had to be removed in hospital.

He then got his words mixed up and very sweetly said, "Does daddy only have one basketball too?" Grin

Tiz so cute when they get their words mixed up Grin

Dont - those are so funny GrinGrin

I'm trying to wean ds3 who will be 3 next month. We're down to a feed before bed. The other day he came over to me and said "me want to cuddle your mooks (mook is milk). I reminded him that he only has milk at bedtime, and he looked wistful and said "me not have mook. Me cuddle your mooks. They so lovely". I think weaning is going to take a while...

Since your little boy sounds so sweet. My DD seems unaware that she doesn't have 'mooks'. She was cuddling her baby sister a couple of days ago and lifted up her t-shirt to 'feed' her Grin

Friend was in the post office queue with her 3 yr old. Playing eye spy using colours to pass the time, so 'I spy something red' etc.

Son says ' I spy something orange'. Friend looks around, can't see anything orange. At all. Asks are you sure you mean orange, because I really cannot see anything in here that is orange. Son is adamant he is spying something orange.

After a few failed guesses to humour him, she says 'go on then, I give up, what in here is orange?'

'That lady's face!'

Pointing to the rather heavily made up lady in the next queue....

I love these.
My DS is only just starting to say sentences (3.5 years) and the best one has been "Mummy your boobs are like an octopus head" AngryWinkGrinWell it's true!

My DD isn't quite two so only has a few words. The other day we were on the beach and she pointed at the sea and said 'Big Big PUDDLE!!' Smile

Mollymissy · 07/10/2017 11:17

I remember DS he must of been about 4 having calpol, I was joking with him saying don't be a hypo (Hypochondriacs) and he said I'm not a haribo. I couldn't stop laughing

3 year old DD “Mummy, if chickens lay eggs do pigs lay sausages?”

SparklyMagpie · 07/10/2017 11:28

Aww I'm loving these.

My DS (2) cracked me up the other morning by shouting " mummy " from his room, I go and open the door to be greeted by " Heyyy Baby! " it's what I usually say when he wakes up and he says " morning mummy " really tickled me.

One i'll NEVER forget was when id gone to stay at my dads, id gone to tuck in my little brother who was around 6 at the time and whilst having a cuddle in bed he wrapped his arms round me tightly, gave me a kiss and then said " Aww big sis..... You're as thin as a whistle! " Grin still makes us all crack up now and he's 12 bless him, I was around a size 6 back then, those we're the days Grin

'I'm not a haribo' - LOVE IT!

I remember wondering about the pig sausage thing too (and bacon). I could never get my head around the fact that they didn't lay them Shock

I had been teaching my ds(4) what we should do in an emergency and being able to tell someone where we lived. My friend knew that he had learnt all of that so was asking him about it and said to him, so what is your address? He thought for a while and then said A pink one? That is when I realised that if he ever had to call the ambulance in an emergency I was going to be in trouble Grin

One day not long before our sons were due to start school, we were in the car, talking about things that are 'real', and things that aren't - and when I pointed out that unicorns only actually exist in the imagination, older son collapsed in genuine tears. "But... there has to be unicorns!" he sniffled. "Every child has to have one!"

Turned out he was thinking of uniforms...

genuineidiot · 07/10/2017 12:39

There seems to be a lot of children mishearing things... it must be horrible having to break it to them.

We used to watch numberjacks, which has a baddie in a white suit and a large hat.

Our local park has a bowling green which is very formal and tends to be full of serious and sedate older people in their white suits. Of course, the captain wears a white hat too.

You can guess the rest can't you?!

"mummy mummy it's the Number Taker, quick quick hide"!!!!

DS2 (4) was having his hair cut yesterday. The hairdresser asked him which school he goes to... "DS1's school!" Helpful Grin

Umbrellas are called "rainbrellas"

My DCs are adopted and share a birth mother, but are around 2 years apart and were placed separately (and DC1 just about remembers DC2 coming to us).
DC1 tells me "when we were in X's tummy I talked to DC2".

Dc were doing a pirate puzzle earlier. They were doing half each which meant ds2 had put together a pirate with a telescope and ds1 (5) had the viewer bit of the telescope at the edge of his part. He shouted out, 'I've got the skeletope!'

Ds2 (3) calls his toe nails 'foot nails'.

user1472334322 · 07/10/2017 17:11

Ds2 (3) and I were looking at a picture of some dogs and I pointed out a sausage dog.
Ds looked very confused and said 'sausage dog? You can't eat dogs!'
