I'm stuck at home struck with the flu trying my very best to care for 3 DC under 4. To say I'm struggling is an understatement. My 2 year old just cheered me up though. I'm in pj bottoms and a zip up hoody (no bra- relevant) and have just breastfed baby. As I went to zip my hoody back up 2 year old asks, shocked, "where your boobie lid?!" Please cheer me up with some funny things your kids have said when they haven't known the name of or mispronounced something. Oh another one, prawn crackers are known as knackers in our house as that is what now 4 yo called them when she was little!

We saw a fire engine when DD was about 3. I asked her if she thought fireman Sam was in there "no" she replied, I asked why, she turned to me, and said very clearly and seriously with a deadpan look o her face "because they're all dead" Shock

DS6 announced rather loudly in Ikea last week that he no longer wanted to eat meat, my response was oh, are you going to be a vegetarian then? His response... don’t you dare call me that! I’m a herbivore. Grin

Glitter 😂

4yo and 2yo both love Galway Girl. 4 yo is pretty good at learning lyrics fast but they both sing "go away girl ma ma ma ma ma...go away girl"

Also, 2yo calls helicopters "hopcopters".

4 yo, until quite recently called minions "onions".

My nearly 7 year old saw the practice nurse this afternoon as she has had recurring ear ache this week.
She was asking dd questions and dd was being her typical self in her reponses. When the nurse said she was chatty dd replied
"but I am only a little chatty. Mummy is more chatty and she talks for so long on the phone to Nanny, I forget what I wanted to say". Dh who took her said the nurse was chuckling to herself. ☺
DD was correct though. Nanny is my mother in law, but we get on really well and I probably spend longer on the phone to her than my own mum, even though I see her most days too.

My friends daughter had asked her what sex was, she just brushed it off and explained it as cuddles and kisses that grown ups have, a few days later she's hanging washing out in the back garden and all the neighbors are out in their gardens too, she shouts to her daughter asking her what she's doing and she shouts back....just having sex with the dog BlushShock

Haha remembered another reading these. Dd 2.5 was talking and it didn't make sense. So I said "you're not making sense", she says "so what am I making then?" Bless her lol.

I still have a hottle bottle instead of a hot water bottle. I still think vishdosher which came from my cousin. Cuddles are lovies.

"Mummy do you know I can see my nose allllll day"

Asked to wear trousers, because it was snowing. "But I want to be a BAT, and bats don't wear trousers!"

porkinmyteeth · 15/03/2018 21:32

Dd around 2 years old used to sing 'baa baa fat chick, have you any poo?' 😂😂😂 god I used to die laughing

My son told me to stop putting my baby daughter in baby grows as they kept making her grow Grin

My mother and her long term partner (75 & 76) are getting married next month. Ds2 age 5 was most put out that they wouldn't be having any babies Grin . Because, and I quote "I always wanted to be an Aunty". He has a flimsy grasp of family dynamics Grin

Snortles · 15/03/2018 21:53

Ds 5 warbles all day, he absolutely loves singing. A recent favourite is 'Last Xmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day I gave it away. This year, disturbing my tears, I'm special, special' Grin

PodgeBod · 15/03/2018 21:54

Oh this was horrifying. The other day we took 3yo DD on the tube (rare occasion) and brought her pushchair as it was a long day. We had to take the lift at the station and an older man with long hair got on with crutches. DD loudly started to demand to know why "she" was in our lift. I must have gone bright red as I went between "It's not our lift!" And "this gentleman can get on any lift he wants to! Shush!" Wasn't the best response but she's never put me in a position like that before.

elliejjtiny · 15/03/2018 22:00

Ds2 and ds3 were arguing and then ds2 flounced off, shouting "that's it, you're not coming to my wedding!" Ds2 is 9 so not planning on getting married any time soon.

forgotMyusernameAgain · 15/03/2018 22:03

My gorgeous very soon to be 11 year old had lots of funny lil sayings when he was younger, such as reckra "breakfast", cumbumber and crochile nap nap ..... all very sweet. Now he has turned into quite the comedian for example....

I hear him shuffling around in the kitchen. "What are you doing?", "making a snack"

5 mins later he appears with what looks like 2 sandwiches. "Whats that?"

"Its a triple decker ham manwich with a side of ham"
"Any vegetables in that?"
"Not unless you count the ketchup, no"

HmmGrin

In the swimming changing rooms my 5yo DD was waiting for me to help her with something. I gave her my normal response 'just give me 2 secs' and she replied 'you always say that - secs, secs, secs' at the top of her voice Blush

SomeKnobend · 15/03/2018 22:22

When ds was 2 or 3 I got dressed up and put make up on. He looked at me all suspicious, and pointed and said "what's going on?"! I said I was going out, did he think my dress looked pretty. He said "no it looks cold".

Snortles · 15/03/2018 22:28

DS2 hates school (he's in reception). We have a battle on our hands most mornings as he refuses to get ready, then drags his feet all the way and.. argh yes, nightmare. The other morning, as per usual, he was moaning that he didn't want to go as he would have a rubbish day. I promised him that it wouldn't be rubbish and he would enjoy playing with his friends. On picking him up, I (stupidly) asked how his day had passed.

'I told you my day would be rubbish. But do you ever listen? noooo of course not', he huffed loudly 🤣 He's turning into a mini me.

SevenOf1981 · 15/03/2018 22:31

My DD is 16mo and has few words. However, she loves her Peepo book and will wander round saying BeeBa, BeeBa, until she finds it. Except it often sounds a lot like Beiber...

Peanutbuttercheese · 15/03/2018 22:35

I still call marmalade jamaman as DS called it that as a toddler, he is now 6ft 4.

We were eating dinner 3arlier and I put my DS drink on the side, I then got reprimanded by my 5 year old DD telling me I need to put it on a rollercoaster. She was talking about a coaster. Needless to say we were all in fits of laughter except my DD who gave the evilest of looks because we were all laughing 😊😊
