My daughter stuck her head in my crotch area this evening when we were sat in the sofa, sniffed deeply then went "Agghhhh... Mummma!! You stink! You need to remember to wash your foof!!!"

I was mortified!!! Admittedly, it was day 3/4 of wearing the same jeans! 🙈😂

My mum still isn’t over me telling her ‘I hope I have a big shiny nose like you when I grow up, Mummy’ BlushGrin

Wearing the same jeans is fine if you wash. If your kid is smelling your fanny through your jeans you clearly haven't washed. I'm stunned anyone would admit to being quite so vile.

DS once commented to me and his granny that “even though granny is older you look the same age”. Pleased my mum more than me.

I was contributing.

Pointing out that having your fanny smell so bad that your toddler comments on it is vile does not constitute rude. It is vile.

@MissMarpleDarling

People wear the same jeans for 3 or 4 days? 😳

My son says I sound like a dying goat when I sing.

BreakfastOfWaffles · 07/02/2021 09:45

My husband asked our then-five-year old son if he wanted to sit on his lap. He replied with "I would prefer to sit on Mummy's lap because hers is soft and squishy like a marshmallow" 😂

@smoothchange I was only messin please lighten up its just fanny gas in your face

Back to children...

I dont have any, and was asked about this by my Y11 class (YEAR 11, not 11yo). When I responded with "I have all of you lot etc etc".

One pipes up - miss, you know that when you're too old you can't have children yeah?

I'm 31.

PeppermintPasty · 07/02/2021 09:49

Don’t worry this is worse, my children and I are rewatching all the Star Wars films and my 13 yo DS came in to say goodnight whilst I was in bed reading with my hooded dressing gown and apparently I am Emperor Palpatine AFTER his face has shrivelled. Oh how we laughed....

Wiredforsound · 07/02/2021 09:50

My 3 year old DD in the John Lewis loos on a Saturday afternoon shouting everywhere, “MUMMY, WHY IS YOUR MINKY SO FLUFFY?” She’s 15 now and I still cringe 😬

goldpendant · 07/02/2021 09:50

My son tells me repeatedly that I look like one of the Star Wars bad guys (Kylo Ren?) because of my deep and multiple forehead lines.

Yesterday he came in with a toy tiger and said the same thing about a 'stripey face'.

He now draws them on pictures he does of me too.

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry!!

goldpendant · 07/02/2021 09:51

@PeppermintPasty - how funny that we both have been likened to wrinkly Star Wars characters! Lucky us!

AlwaysLatte · 07/02/2021 09:51

You had the same jeans on for 3 or 4 days .No disrespect or hurt intended, but that’s grim and not to mention rank. It’s no wonder you were stinking. 🤮

I thought this thread was about crippling put-downs from children, not grown adults! 😂

MadameBlobby · 07/02/2021 09:52

My youngest is autistic. Things that you or I might find rude he just doesn’t get. There’s no point in “reprimanding” him, I prefer trying to go for the education approach.

My eldest was just a bit tactless, he’s better now.

Not rude, factual.

My 4 year old likes to remind me that I'm 38 and his stepmother is only 26 thanks son!

@stayingaliveisawayoflife

I'm a teacher. Year six child pointed to her foot and said 'Talk to this because you can't get any lower than you are.'
That make me sad actually. Poor child.
CaffineismyBFF · 07/02/2021 09:57

...somethings need to be kept private....

Stovetopespresso · 07/02/2021 09:58

yes I agree, someone might have said that to the child Shock

PeppermintPasty · 07/02/2021 09:58

@goldpendant aren’t we just! Grin little gits!

Thomasina79 · 07/02/2021 10:00

For those with little children saying stuff like this, be warned. The teenage years, in my experience, are far, far worse in terms of hurtful remarks!

Chottie · 07/02/2021 10:00

I was fastening my new cycle helmet strap.
DS looked at me wearing it and said "you look like you would go really fast, until you get on your bike!".......
