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"

When ds1 was 2 and a half, walking down the street opposite an elderly gentleman he said loudly, in a matter of fact voice "That man is really old! He'll be dead soon." . There'd been a recent family bereavement so death was on his mind. Luckily the man thought it was hilarious.

I was on the bus this afternoon with my 3yo ds on my lap. There was a man playing with his little baby ds in a pram, giving a little football and then pretending to take it away. Ds1 announced, really loudly "Why is that man stealing that little baby's football, Mummy? Is he trying to make him cry?" I said "Ssssshh, no, sweetie, that's his daddy and they are playing a game". Ds1 thought about it and asked: "Are they playing "Snatch the ball and make the baby cry?"

Sitting on a bus opposite a woman with a large and overly exposed bosom ds1 3yo shouts, "Mummy! Look at that lady! She's got heee-ooooge nipples!". Didn't know where to look for the next 10 minutes.

Rhian101 · 29/04/2006 23:19

Oh and ds1 at 7yo,
"Mummy am I gay?"

I was flabbergasted and spluttered,
"Erm, why do you ask that?"
"Well the boys at school said it was when 2 men love each other, and I love daddy."! Bless his little cotton socks!

DS (2.5) at breakfast.

Wind the bobbin up's quite a good song.

Pruni · 30/04/2006 09:04

Ds (2.4) yesterday, seeing me getting dried after the shower, was really staring at my tits. "Do you know what they are?" I asked. (Really no idea why...)
Thought for a minute.
"Arms?"

DD1 has finished potty training but it still terribly enthused about the whole thing, When on the toilet in Tesco's a few weeks back she asked if I wanted a wee, I told her "in minute honey, after you've been a good girl and done yours." To which she replied......
Wow can you hear that mummy, that lady in there's doing a wee and a poo! GOOD GIRL LADY!!!!" pmsl and wanted the floor to swallow me whole!!!!!
She also referes to cucumbers as weecumber, smarties are farties and a sandwich is a saminge.......Bless my daughter!!!!
She's 2.5 btw

Ds (3) woke me up at 5 am last week to say "Mummy, I love you.....as much as chicken pox."

I was just about to wash the chocolate off ds1's face today when he said, quite politely "No, Mummy, it's all right, Daddy will clean me because he is more better than you."

Novelty value, says I Grin

edam · 30/04/2006 18:32

"Daddy! PROTECT Mummy!" - ds, yesterday. Made me PMSL... he was devising a new game based on Big Bad Wolf. He was being the wolf and dh and I the little pigs.

Reminds me when son (then 4) and I were standing in a queue at the local newsagents. A blind man and his guide dog were in front of us. Son boomed "Mummy, that dog is sniffing that man's bum" Shop went deathly quiet and man being sniffed started shooing the dogs face away from the back of his coat.

Looking through some photos of me aged about 7 with a Paigeboy hairstyle "Mummy, was that you when you were a little boy?".

On a passing red disabled carriage with its raincover up, "There's postman pat!"

Or the cringworthy "My daddy's got a REALLY big willy" to the playschool staff, whilst using their facilities.

OzJo · 30/04/2006 23:45

"My wees have got big smiley faces, like me "said Dd 3, after her first wee of the day after a dry nappy at night.....she obviously needed to go!

P.S was woken up the other morning by DD (2.4) singing "I've just always wanted a trumpet" over and over again. I went into her room and she said "Sorry Mummy, but I HAVE just always wanted one"

DS today:
'Mummy, you're going to die soon aren't you?'

Me:
'Why?'

DS:
'Because you're nearly 100.'

Later, I was rubbing my face, as I was tired, and I got...'Mummy, you look really ugly when you do that.'

Shock Luckily, I'm well aware that I'm beautiful and young-looking!

sugarfree · 03/05/2006 19:56
