Said by my normally very intelligent 12 year old DD

Who looked after us when we were all babies?

trevthecat · 30/09/2023 09:08

Age 4: Mummy, what was your name when you were little?

Me: trevthecat

Age 4: no that's an adults name, what was your children age name?

His mind was blown!

The other asked me what their name would be when they grew up as they has a child's name, not an adults. Strange that they both thought it!

Are we meat?

Mischance · 30/09/2023 09:13

Why doesn't god make me better? - this when DD was ill. No answer to that one.

CoffeeLover90 · 30/09/2023 09:13

I've got all this to come 😂 DS 4 but delayed speech so questions started quite recently, none weird or difficult yet. Just Mammy Why is there no dinosaurs on your pants?

When I was younger I asked my grandad all the questions, was it black and white when you were at school? Where did clouds come from? How come fish don't drown?
Long before the Internet, he answered every question in detail, as much as he could and was never annoyed at me badgering him. If he didn't know, he would find out and tell me later.
I'm 33 now and I still save my questions for him 😊

My teenage daughter asked me if it was normal for her partner to always have a semi 😳 Always. She just noticed all the time and others had said too. I said I don't know, might be a medical thing. I fumbled my way out without having to say, well maybe he just has a big penis. I couldn't bring myself to say that 😂
Even now, I'm thinking is this an thing to say on here🤔

I think your daughter really wants to discuss this with you. Is he pestering her for sex?

Bananalanacake · 30/09/2023 12:20

"what's the point in living when we're all going to die" DD was 8 then.

DS, 15, asked this morning "does it take a year to grow a Mango tree?"

I have no idea, son.
