DS (8) the other day, wanting to point out something modern (contrasting with the ‘olden days’): “Now that we’re in the newen days...”

I actually think this should be a word!

"Mummy you're so beautiful, you have two smiles"
"Do I really, where?"
"One there" (pointing to actual smile)
"And one there" (pointing to double chin)

I am currently drinking tea from "W is for Wino"

Tea, eh? Of course you're drinking tea....... Xmas Grin

Ds5 was upset school Xmas Dinner was without brusseled sprouts yesterday...

@DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn

That’s a great idea! I think I might do the same, with sayings only our family understands:-
Between the Laces
Humba Me
I’m just a small pickle in a lonely world

RhymingRabbit3 · 12/12/2019 10:56

My DD3 likes everything to be in a "family". She cried the other day because there was one Christmas decoration on the shelf by itself in asda and she wanted it to be with its family. Stickers are always put in pairs, "a mummy and a baby"

I asked DS if he liked my new haircut and he said ‘Yes, it’s like the sheep!’ 😮

He was watching a sheep shearing video at the time Grin

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 12/12/2019 11:01

Of course you're drinking tea.

😂

I am 😇 bit early for wine for me

(DS2 couldn't pronounce R sounds. He was trying to say Ruh is for Rhino although it took me a while to work out)

My four year old didn't know what pubes were called so settled on... bum beard!

MadeleineMaxwell · 12/12/2019 11:03

DS4: I fart a lot, don't I? But I won't fart at Christmas because my bum loves Santa!

I can only think he's high on mince pies or something [santa]

DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn · 12/12/2019 11:04

RevolutionofOurTime. My family mugs make me smile all the time :) I've got a mental list of extras although I don't need any more mugs really! Beach Bargapoo and "head at the top!" are next on the list.

DSS once told the hair dresser all about the special magic plant that Daddy grows on the window sill that makes everything all better - he didn't magic that the plant was in fact an Aloe Vera & used to treat a burn from the oven

WillYouDoTheFandango · 12/12/2019 11:15

When we arrived on holiday a couple of weeks back, I’d put DS (6) to bed and DP jumped in the shower.

I turned my back for a minute to hang something up and DS walked straight past me, into the bathroom for a wee and all I heard was “Oh my god! How hairy is your willy?”

DP had absolutely no comeback to that. Grin

ToTheRegimentIWishIWasThere · 12/12/2019 11:32

These are brilliant! I'm in bits Grin

DS is just turned 3 and I've started noting down the funny things he says in a file on my phone to look back on. Its amazing how quickly I've forgotten things.

He came up to me the other day when I was doing the washing up and said very officiously "Mummy, your attention please.." Grin because he wanted to show me something.

He always shouts "Ta-ra dogs name, you're in charge!" when we go out without her Grin

potter5 · 12/12/2019 11:33

One son used to say 'persgetti' on toast please.
One used to say 'certikifit' when he got his swimming cert.

GiveHerHellFromUs · 12/12/2019 11:35

@potter5 I work with a girl who's 30 who still says certifikit.
I don't know why the word comes up so often in conversation but she CANNOT say it properly. She doesn't have any problems with any other words.

danni0509 · 12/12/2019 11:36

I asked ds what he wanted for tea last night and he said cat biscuits, I asked him what he wanted to drink and he said cat juice Grin we don't and never have owned a cat

He's 6 but has autism and is developmentally like a 3/4 year old, he's only really just starting the questioning phase, not the standard Why. We just get a LOT of 'what happens if' .....

Makes for some interesting listening in this house 😆

What happens if mummy's head falls off on the floor? What happens if the electricity falls out of the light? What happens if mummy crashes the car on the way to school? What happens if your bum gets flushed down the toilet? What happens if the plane falls out of the sky and lands in the back garden, what happens if your willy gets stuck down the plug hole 😂 etc etc etc etc.

I honestly spend my days answering these type of questions.

Very pleased though, he didn't use to speak!

nocluewhattodoo · 12/12/2019 11:46

I told DD I loved her and she sighed and said 'I already know that mummy'

Inarightpickleandpreserve · 12/12/2019 11:54

My DD age 2, I dropped her at nursery, settling in session, the girls asked what would I do for the next hour, I said pop to the supermarket.

DD: MUMMY IS GOING TO BUY BOOZE

Me: she means food.....Blush

NotYourHun · 12/12/2019 11:54

In the car last night DS 15mo was singing to himself ‘row row row row row row row ... ahh!’ Grin

crispysausagerolls · 12/12/2019 11:58

How DS says “thank you” sounds exactly like “cat poo”. He runs around saying “CAT POOOOOOO CAT POOOOOOO”.

He also won’t let me get more than a few pages into a book without wanting it again. It’s very annoying for me, as I have to read the same beginning pages 1000 x but never get the satisfying conclusion eg where Spot is found, or the Caterpillar turns into a butterfly.

Sometimes without any reason he decides to just go under the sofa and lie there.

crispysausagerolls · 12/12/2019 11:58

Also I’m pregnant and he likes to knock on my stomach and say “KNOCK KNOCK BABY HELLO”

SquareAsABlock · 12/12/2019 12:04

My 4 year old is currently going through his petulant phase. Any time I have to say 'no' to a request, he replies 'I'm so disappointed in you mummy'.

AngryFeminist · 12/12/2019 12:06

DS used to say 'bugger' for button (ie the one you ring on a bus) when he was a year or so. So every bus journey for a while he'd just be going 'bugger! Bugger!' And trying to press the button...

Also 'vaccum cleaner' sounded very much like 'fucking cleaner'. Our cleaner brought her own heavy duty vacuum, so sge'd come in and he'd point at her and go 'fucking cleaner!' Her face the first time...

ManCubsMama · 12/12/2019 12:09

These are so sweet!
