To be deeply insulted by what dt2 (5) said to me this morning?

[whoingodsnameami]

I was talking to her and noticed she was looking at me oddly, then she said, mum, you have teeth like spongebob!!!!!!!!

I am still traumatised.

This is a great funny thread.
I had a laugh this morning when dd1 (3yo) said 'mummy, something smells, its you!'
Charming!
I do confess I went straight to the shower and didn't pass go

I still remember my little brother saying, very impressed-ly to my great- grandmother "oh, you have GREAT BIG FAT LEGS, just like a dinosaur!"

DS (3) says Mummy, I know how old you are - 73!

I helpfully explained that Granny is 73, but I am not, and you can tell the difference because Granny has wrinkles and moves slowly

DS "Just like you Mummy!"

Ah this is very funny treat. One of my favorite is " what colour the dinosaurs were when I was little and they were still alive." It made me LOL

My dd1 (then aged 3) piped up to my mother, "Ooh, you've got a moustache just like Sportacus" (but she's not so nifty at the one armed press-ups).

She's also wont to climb in our bed in the morning, then lie with her hand over her mouth saying the smell of my breath makes her feel sick!

Can't smell a thing, cheeky besom .

Me: We didn't have computers when we were small
dd1: Really? What was it like in the Victorian age?
Me: Just because we didn't have computers doesn't mean it was the Victorian age!
dd1: Oh. What was it like in the Roman age then?

Ds: The crocodile's not working
dh: Ah, you mean the crocodile's not moving, that's probably because he's sleeping.
Ds: No! crocodile's not working (starts to cry) fix it then!

I've got tears running down my face with laughing so much after reading these! I hope you all write these comments down whenever they happen. Mind you, some of them sound like they would be burned into your memory forever!!

at these. gotta love the honesty of kids!

ds said to my mum the other day - nanny looks just like a scarecrow!

DS: (at playgroup, where the first part of this conversation is not infrequently heard)
I smell poo. SOmeone's done a poo. MUMMY! Have YOU done a poo in your pants?'

DS2 looked at me with alarm as I got out of the bath, and asked incredulously, "Mummy, where has your willy gone??"

This thread has so cheered me up after a shit day. Dont you just love em hey?

Thought Id add a story too

A couple of years ago I asked my little brother (12) if my bum looked big in the jeans I was wearing. He looked ... paused ... studied my behind... thought some more about it and then said 'NOT BIG, JUST WIDE.'

I cried the whole day!

This really is very funny. I have loads from my little niece but cant stop laughing. My daughter is 17 months so only saying few words no sentences yet and boy I cant wait for this stage!
Might start writing them all down when she starts

Caught up with an old friend from school, who was then going to visit and stay the night. I told DS (5) that we had a friend coming, and told him her first name, which is the same as mine. He said 'That's your name mummy! Is she fat like you?'

Not much I could say, apart from 'no, I don't think she is' And she wasn't.

Sound of fart.
Me to Ds: (smiling kindly)What was that noise, was that you?
Ds: Not me.
(Shyly)I have a bee in my bottom.

My ds was in the bath at me looking at my ladygarden with a shocked look and said:

"why have you got spiders on your willy?"

Ds has also asked why I'm stripey. He also says 'Mummy you are feeling sad because you're fat' and 'I love you mummy, but I will love you more when you are skinny. You're all yucky when you're fat'. But my favourite was when I was 36 weeks pregnant with dd and we were going to SIL's wedding. DS was very concerned. He kept saying 'But mummy, you don't want to go do you? You want to stay home don't you.' I explained that I would be tired but I would like to go. 'But Mummy, I don't want you to go. People will laugh at you because you're so fat! Please stay at home, pleeeeeeeease!' Cheers son.

Marthasmama that's sad rather than funny and (though I hate to bring a downer onto a lovely funny thread) there is a chance your DS could develop an eating disorder: does someone in the family have eating problems? Because the ideas of associating shame and dislike with 'fatness' (have no idea what your weight is like, though if you are any bigger than a size 14 when not PG your DS already has a distorted idea of what human bodies should look like) is a dangerous one, especially in a young child.

I was visiting a friend who has the same name as my dd (L*).

Her son - Dan's friend was there to play and he said to me "so who are you then?"

Me: I am L*'s mummy

Him(thinking): So you are Dan's granny then?

SGB - He didn't think that anyone would realise that I was pg and that they would find my strange fat tummy funny. It was more to do with the fact that I was a funny shape than anything else. I thought it was funny and laughed it off, explaining to him that of course everyone would know I was pg. He has probably developed that attitude from the MIL who says helpful things like 'oh dear that girl was too fat to get married. Isn't she ashamed of herself?' We feel we have countered it and feel that he has a healthy attiude towards food etc. Thank you for your concern but we have a handle on it.

OK cool. I do see what you mean about a child finding the shape of a PG tummy a bit odd. I just get worried about DC picking up fatphobia as it's such a horrid mindset and so damaging.

My DS1 said to me

'Mummy your Pukku is like wobbly snakes, it wibbles and slides around for ages when you jump.'

Message withdrawn

my niece aged 2.5: "you've got a big tummy like mummy's" (my sister was six months pregnant. i very much wasnt.)

ds, looking at family photos aged about 18 months. correctly identified ds, himself and his cousin in a photo but when i pointed at the one of me, and said "who's that then?" he said "granny"....
dh did not help matters by phsl for most of the day
