Another one from my boy today: "I like my sweeties mummy, but I don't like green beans. I like white beans and brown beans, but they are dusty!" Wtf?!

When mine was about 7 we had gone through “the facts of life” conversation, age appropriate obviously. Not long after DD said to me “I get the whole ‘where babies come from’ thing but answer me one question- just how am I related to Daddy?” 😂😂😂

My eldest DS was 3 when I was pregnant with my youngest DS, he too was curious.
DS- (looking at my bulging stomach) How will the baby get out of your tummy?
ME- err, out of mummy's, erm....fluff (this is what we ended up calling girly bits)
DS- is there a trap door?
ME- kind of
DS- (bending over to try and look up my dress) can I see it?
ME- Noooo!!Confused

My youngest told my mum she was having a "Dick Man Cocklate" cake for her birthday!

macpumpkin1 · 13/12/2019 21:21

She is obsessed with Stickman.

Newnamexxx I’m crying!

My tiny niece in a white party dress, looking like a delicate little fairy — until she spotted her brother and uncle playing football down the muddy end of the garden. She went charging off to join them but fell over backwards as she tried to kick the ball. I don’t know who was laughing most, as the three of them played on, but she was a very happy muddy fairy.

My 3 year old DS says hoop a loop for hula hoop.

My now 6 year old DS said a couple of years ago when he saw DH in his work suit "Daddy, you are too smart for my eyes!"

Adoptthisdogornot · 13/12/2019 21:39

My 4 year old is very confised about Christmas. This week he has asked who is more important, Daddy or Jesus? How can a baby be the king, and is he married to the queen? Does Jesus live in London? It's all very difficult to explain and very cute.

Adoptthisdogornot · 13/12/2019 21:41

Oh and my 2 year old always wants to wear crocs and spends his days running around shouting "want cock!"

MrsKCastle · 13/12/2019 21:43

As a teacher of 6 year olds... whenever they get changed for PE, one small boy asks me if they need 'spare feet'. I have lost count of the number of times that I have told him, that it is 'bare feet'.

gamerchick · 13/12/2019 21:44

When my youngest was around 5 he asked me to do something. I said I was eating at that moment and to wait until I was finished.

He waited with his head a foot away from my face, looking at me intently.... But he did wait Grin

MrsKCastle · 13/12/2019 21:45

Oh, another one. As a toddler, DD1 found it very difficult to say 'st'. She would.run around the park telling everyone: "I've got a big dick".

MrsKCastle · 13/12/2019 21:50

Another teacher one: 6 year olds doing an exercise where they name things as healthy/not healthy. Rather bemused when I saw a small girl had written 'cock' under unhealthy. Got her to re read her work to me. Very relieved, and agreed with her that coke is unhealthy.

selmabear · 13/12/2019 21:50

My youngest asked who stole my willy when I sitting down having a wee.

hiyahen · 13/12/2019 21:58

We have a Harry Hoover (a green Henry!) and both of my sons who are 4 & 2 love to jump through the loop that is made when you place the hose upright in its holder.

We were running late for nursery one day so I asked my 4 year old to hurry up and he said 'in a minute Mummy, I've just got to finish off playing with my porn hole'... After much questioning I discovered that he was pretending the loop that he jumps though was a porthole to a different world!

mintandcoral · 13/12/2019 21:59

If there is ever a smaller baby around, my one year old always insists that we go over and look at them. She will then look at the baby and go 'awwww' (as though she is an old nanna) Grin

I’m enjoying this thread - thanks OP, it’s cheered me up today.

I love all these expressions - drizzly nose, story dreaming, parsnips in a pear tree etc. It’s wonderful how kids use the words they know to make sense of the world around them.

Shiny, my sister’s cat used to call “Hello” when he wanted a door opened to let him in! He was a very friendly chap who liked company. I tried several times to get him to say it so I could record him, and he was a very obliging cat but but he didn’t understand — of course he didn’t say it when he was with someone, only when he wanted to join us.

nowayhose · 13/12/2019 22:12

My DC was being taught basic manners around mealtimes, so.............Peeese (please) , ta too ( thank you), nah ta too ( no thank you), but DC ALMOST mastered fork and knife...........

There we were, sat nicely in a cafe and about to order food from the very nice waitress, when DC says VERY loudly, ''Coose me lady, I got no fockin knife !''

AutumnGlitterBall · 13/12/2019 22:18

DS’s first proper word was clock (obsessed by them) but couldn’t say it properly so it was a mix of gack and fuck. Used to shout it out every time he saw one in a shop. He also said haw hidge all the time and it took us ages to work out he meant car wash. He’s suddenly started saying carwish since he was three.

We use a rain sounds app to get baby DS to sleep and I often come in to find the old iPhone 5 which doesn’t work tucked in the side of the Moses basket by DS1 to help his brother sleep 😭

moolady1977 · 13/12/2019 22:22

My eldest ds (20) couldn't say remember it was renember he still can't say it right ,my DD used to help with the washing but again couldn't say it and it used to come out as wogging

EmeraldIsle81 · 13/12/2019 22:23

Friend's son aged 4 went to see the nurse, he was wearing his batman costume. Nurse asked him his name he said Batman. Nurse laughed and said , what's your real name - kid said Bruce Wayne.
True story, I promise

LadyGAgain · 13/12/2019 22:23

Our DD2 likes to wear her swim-soup

Purplealienpuke · 13/12/2019 22:27

DN was 'glad Jesus was dead because he didn't like him anyway' (aged 4) 😂

Back2Bali · 13/12/2019 22:28
