My 3 yo has spent the day telling me about Santa's raindolphs and that I will get a present if I'm a good boy and do as I am told "mummy, you do need to behave yourself and not be cheeky!"

My youngest is at nursery, he tells us all about his friends and who he has played with that day, anyway one particular boys name kept cropping up, then we bumped into him in the street and my DC was so excited to see his friend, the mum just smiled politely as my DC was shouting him name and enthusiastically telling me that it was suchabody from nursery. We then started bumping into them at the school when we were picking my elder DC up, where again my youngest would shout and run round playing, all the while shouting his name. One particular day the other boys dad was in the yard with him so I made conversation and asked if his little boy was at the same nursery, the reply was no, so I asked is he not called....... no his name is Milo! Not the name my son had been calling him for weeks that the other boy had happily answered to, to this day he still calls him the other name and the boy still happily answers to it!

When our 15 year was a few years younger, out shopping with DH.
DH:Do these trainers suit me?
DS: Yeah, they really do.
DH: But they're grey, they don't match anything I've got.
DS: They match your hair!
Shop assistant had to walk away so they couldn't see her face.

When my DD was just learning to talk and asked for ice cream, she always pronounced it "arse cream" Grin

3 yo twins who like to run about the house singing "oh naked baby, naked baby... Call the police, call the police" whenever they are naked (because when they were actual babies I used to sing this to them)!

One of them loves to eat "bistix" (biscuits)..... Or playing "tendies" (pretend).

The other loves randomly singing Happy Birthday (she does an excellent rendition) or Frere Jaques (Frere Jaques, dormin tooz, som-elom-eteena, ding dang dong)

They are so canny at this age!

I collected my niece (5) from school the other day and she was very annoyed with her friend Josh. She said “I’ve had emuff of it. I have just had emuff!” I hope no one ever corrects her as it’s the best!

RockyisMYRhino · 14/12/2019 22:29

My DS can't say 'f' at the beginning of a word yet so we often get a shout of 'Oh no! Broken! Mummy bix it!' instead of fix it

babyinthacorner · 14/12/2019 22:36

I’ve just remembered a brilliant one... during potty training, DS came downstairs one day singing “poo tracks poo tracks poo tracks!” I went upstairs to check and found he’d left skid marks in the toilet Grin

My DS aged 4 had a full blown tantrum at our wedding photos because he couldn't see himself and kept asking us why him and his brother werent invited Grin

My little one saw these two lovely little identical twins as we were walking into school the other day and said "Look Mummy, that little girl has two selfs!"

When DD1 was a toddler/preschooler, she insisted that Santa's sleigh was pulled by kangaroos. She would see reindeer and insist they were kangaroos. Kangaroos were also kangaroos. This lasted three Christmases, the last one being her Reception year where she got increasingly confused as everyone else did not agree with her.

CareBear50 · 15/12/2019 07:51

When my daughter was two she asks me earnestly

"Mummy.....can I ask you a question?"

Me: "yes darling, of course you can....."

DD2: "does santa have a penis?"

Me: "sorry darling I'm not really sure" (eeeeeeek...Santa is s bit of an asexual character.....so I REALLY did not know how best to answer it!)

DD2: "oh thats's ok ...next time I see him I'll ask him"!

I breathed a MASSIVE sigh of relief.....thankfully it was February and NOT November 😃😃😃

My 10 month old was on her changing mat and as I was changing her, my boob fell out of my top. I didn't realise until she poked my nipple and then laughed hysterically to herself Grin

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

That's brilliant!

I gave my 2 year old water once. Her reply

This is water, I wanted wine

DS recently started talking more after a speech delay.

"Mummy, I know a song"

"Do you DS, what song do you know"

Long pause........ "ummm I don't know" Grin

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 15/12/2019 17:37

When Uptown Funk was playing everywhere my young son (3/4) loved it and would sing it very loudly in public, unfortunately with the 'n' missing from 'funk'. He also used to shout 'I want sex on fire!' whilst in the car deciding what song he wanted playing Grin

Equally I remember him asking me what plate he should use for his lunch one day, 'the truck one or the spaceman one?' I got told off for saying he should choose so I said the truck one only to be told disdainfully 'No Mummy it's the spaceman one' GrinGrin

thesunhasgothishatontoday · 15/12/2019 18:28

@WhatTimeIsItCuckoo we convinced our youngest DS that the Kings of Leon song was "this trainset on fire" 😂

WhatTimeIsItCuckoo · 15/12/2019 18:30

👍😆

My daughter (now 13.5) used to say 'radiator' for 'reindeer', so when we said we'd put something on the radiator to dry she said 'That's not a radiator, it doesn't have ears' Grin

I have 3, eldest two are teens now, and they're all flooding back to me!

Youngest (8) the other day: Me at school pick up, 'What did you have for dinner?' Him, 'Chicken nuggets but the fish version' Grin

Also 'I had a burger but I didn't like the brown bit in the middle so I just ate the bread' GrinGrin

WellVersedInEtiquette · 15/12/2019 20:21

@WhatTimeIsItCuckoo that's just reminded me that one of mine used to call it a radia-dia-tor. She also called escalators alligators. We still call them alligators and she's almost 11Grin

ButterflyBitch · 15/12/2019 20:23

She didn’t say it but my dd made me a Christmas card that said I was ‘the best mummy in the wild’ which just makes me smile every time I think about it. Xmas Grin

gromberry · 15/12/2019 21:10

My DD (20 months) loves to bend over, put her head on the floor and shout 'UH EYE DOW'

Also if she spots anybody drinking anything she shouts PA TUPATEE (☕️) and insists on 'cheers'ing with her sippy cup
