My dd aged 9 told me that she has recently looked at a book in science which shows developmental stages of children.

She solemnly informed me that "at around 12/13 girls start their periods and grow public hair"

Because it is boring me

DS aged 22 months decided that the first time we take him to a restaurant for his tea, is the best time to suddenly develop a fixation with 'mummies boobies' in a loud voice accompnied by a groping hand Blush

I told DS1 we have to wait for the green man before we can cross the road.
A bloke in a green jacket ran across the road

DS1 - look mummy here's the green man.

DD playing upstairs, me calling her down for lunch... Response: "mummy, I'm busy" (she's 2.9)

DD watching Tom & Jerry on DVD - as Tom religiously wacks Jerry over the head with a frying pan - dd (astonished): "Bloooody Heeeeell" :)

Walking out of nursery: "I've had a lovely day today"

Too many dd-nisms to list, but she makes us laugh daily :)

Teacher (me!): Please put your name on your piece of paper.

X: But why do you always ask us to do that Miss? You already know our names.

I asked my DD3 what video she wanted to watch last night and she said "Titty House"

Me: Uh I don't think we have videos like that, which one do you mean?

DD: Titty house Titty house Titty house

DH and I were laughing so hard I thought I would cry.

She meant Mickey Mouse. I really hope she gets her speech therapy appointment through soon.
