41 replies

mogtheexcellent · 14/09/2019 10:32

DD said dog poo when i asked her what she wanted for breakfast. So i gave it* to her and she ate it then had bacon and toast and a banana and two plums. Now she is telling everyone and i am getting Hmm looks. Dh says i shouldnt encourage her.

*disclaimer obviously not real dog poo but a nut whirl thing from a bix of dairy milk. I pretended to get it from the garden. Dd was in stitches.

Haa haa, good move with the chocolate! Don't stress, we all need a bit of humour. If she mentions it to nursery / teachers etc you can way whisper that it was just chocolate. It's fine.

YANBU. I fed mine grass when they were small. (Green beans) my son told everyone I made them eat grass. I didn't bother to explain, twas fun watching reactions.

I wouldn’t in case she thinks it might be ok to eat real dog poo in the park.

I know someone who told the school she had hay for breakfast ( aka Shredded Wheat) and no wall on their house (lovely big extension being built). Almost got to SS. Grin

My son had a misunderstanding when he was in nursery and told his key worker that he was allowed crocodile juice as a treat ( tropical juice 😂)

theluckiest · 14/09/2019 11:12

Not a food one but DS told his nursery that I kept him in a cupboard when we were on holiday...

He was right in a way as it was a cute enclosed bunk bed bed with a little door in the cottage.

I did worry what they thought though Grin

Sorry to dripfeed but we have a dog and she knows not to touch or eat real poo.

I dont think DH gets her sense of humour at all. Grin

LOL you didn't do anything wrong.

Nursery staff hear all sorts anyway. Mine when they were younger variously told staff that:

  • auntie was Michael Bublé's girlfriend (after overhearing us teasing her about him)
  • granddad used to be a lizard (misunderstanding of evolutionary theory)
  • mummy got given a car by a man in the street (breakdown replacement vehicle).

Seriously, kids are full of nonsense. They know this.

Rainbowknickers · 14/09/2019 11:28

God mine told the nursery manager that all she had to eat was ‘nettles and leaves as that’s all mummy feeds me’

Salad,she had salad the day before!!

Another daughter told her playgroup leader that she didn’t have any other clothes apart from this one orange lion king jumper and leggings set

She bloody did have piles of clothes-she just refused to wear anything that wasn’t that set

The lovely leader took me to one side to point me at a clothes bank they ran

I ended up donating to them not the other way round!

My DD refers to her bedroom as her cage. It is a normal room but it has a child gate on it as it is at the top of the stairs and she gets up in the night sometimes. She didn’t want to leave the park one evening, last week, and started screaming “please don’t put me in my cage, mummy”, all the way home. She meant that she didn’t want to go to bed.

RedRec · 14/09/2019 11:37

Not being unreasonable but very, very funny. Am just about to go round LIDL with tears in my eyes. Your daughter will have a happy life.

Camomila · 14/09/2019 11:37

DSs old nursery used to give them crocodile juice (milk with green food colouring) dinosaur juice (blue) or dragon juice (red)

Oldraver · 14/09/2019 11:38

DS used to call Breakfast hoops (we used to get non branded Cheerios) Hula Hoops.

So he was forever telling people he had Hula Hoops for breakfast

please don’t put me in my cage, mummy 😂😂

TroysMammy · 14/09/2019 11:41

Chocolate for breakfast tut tut Grin

Mackerz · 14/09/2019 11:44

@Mummyoflittledragon

We don’t refer to her room as her cage, we have no idea why she’s suddenly started saying it!

rosegoldivy · 14/09/2019 11:45

@mackerz actual LOLd at the "please don't put me in my cage" 😂😂😂

Kelsoooo · 14/09/2019 11:47

We accidentally convinced our then 4 year old she was really a fish.

The story went that we found her on the beach one day, half girl half fish and her fish family asked us to have her. So we went back to my aunt's, cut her fish legs off and gave her human legs.

Her big sister joined in and it was just a lovely giggle over the Sunday dinner.

Two years later, we were talking about going on a boat trip and she looked really excited and asked if she'd see her fish family again.

I darent ask her about her fish family now 😂

SunshineAngel · 14/09/2019 11:55

@ Mackerz That's amazing haha. If it was me, I'd have had to go round everyone in the park and tell them what she meant, and then go to a different park for a while! :D

drowningincustard · 14/09/2019 11:55

These are funny!!!
In our house fruit juice is called parrot juice (because once there was a parrot on a bottle of juice we bought). We tend to forget and ask if visiting children want parrot juice or water. Depending on the child we might ham it up a bit and explain that its a freshly squeezed parrot and can be a red parrot (orange juice) or a green parrot (apple juice)!

22Giraffes · 14/09/2019 11:55

Aww these are all so lovely and funny! Don't stress at all op, we muck about with the kids like this at home all the time Grin

Mine (3) is obsessed with the word poo (encouraged grately by his older brother) and often asks for it for meals. I am definitely doing this next time.

Mine yesterday also told the NN (concerned that he'd not had a wee all day) that "Mammy doesn't give me any drinks!" in front of all the parents too! Basically it's because I refuse to give him squash all the time.

amusedbush · 14/09/2019 12:04

I know someone who was called into school because her DS told his teacher that he lost a tooth when his dad kicked him in the face.

They had actually been play wrestling and the tooth had been very wobbly for days! Grin

Some of these stories are hilarious. Grin

Dd has just told her school friends at the park about the poo. She knows its not real poo (shes 5) btw. She likes to joke.
