FUNNY THINGS THAT KIDS SAY.......(or is it just my kids...?)

Hi All,
I'm really new to mumsnet - I've got 3 children and have only just stumbled across it - I've obviously been missing out!!
Anyway, I just thought I would share this with you :- yesterday my 7 yr old daughter came home from school and told me that they had to draw a picture of Henry ville. 'Henry Ville??' I asked - 'I've never heard of him'. 'Well' she said, 'He's a very famous person in history'. I thought for a moment and suddenly it clicked 'Do you mean Henry VIII?'
It turned out to be Henry VIII after all, but she'd obviously read the roman numerals as 'vill' - bless her! It was so funny!

Also, a my eldest daughter (who was 3 at the time) was playing on our front lawn with next doors 3yr old son whilst I was pruning the rosebush (ok....yanking out a few weeds). There was a bit of a heated discussion going on which basically consisted of my daughter saying 'I DO' and next doors son shouting back 'NO YOU DON'T'. After a few minutes my daughter stomped over to me and said 'Mummy, Dean says that girls don't have willies, but they do cos I've got a red pair' - Needless to say - she was referring to her new, shiny WELLIES!!!!

Anyone elses children come out with any amusing little jems?

Bye for now,
Nikki

We had a cat put down earlier in the year and Dh told DS1 that she had "gone up into the sky"
He asked me this morning if Tinkerbel would come back for christmas, I told him no.
He then asked "How did tinkerbel get up in the sky? Is she on a plane or did she walk?

Answers anyone??

We have never played any children's CDs in the car - DH and I have always had full control of that. Most of the stuff we play are Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, etc. and on the way to church my DD said - this is the Californication song - which it was, but we nearly died that she knows the lyrics!!! .

My DS (3) also seems to be obsessed with his bodily functions! While in a sainsbury's loo (full I might add) I said to him oh what a good boy for doing a poo on the toilet, he looked at me like I was insane and said very loudly - I didn't do a poo it was just a really big fart!

The other one when he was 2.5 was in the middle of tescos where he said - Mummy can I buy my boobs from tesco's?

BarbieLovesKen · 05/12/2006 23:41

my little cousin (5), looking at her reflection in window: " I can't WAIT until tomorrow!"

Me: Why?

her: Cos I keep getting better looking as the days go on....

NativityJane · 05/12/2006 23:46

I was in the bath the other day, DH was downstairs, DS(4yo) came up into the bathroom, was being a general PITA so I told him to go back downstairs, he looked at me with a face full of hurt and almost betrayal and managed to squeak out 'but I thought you loved me?' before bursting into proper big tears, which is very unlike him, how guilty did I feel?

Telling the boys the Christmas story yesterday, starting at Angel asking Mary if she would agree to have the baby. "and Mary said 'yes'". "Only 'yes', mummy?, not yes please???" sounding vey unimpressed at her bad manners, lol

helenhismadwife · 15/12/2006 18:44

My dd 2.5 was playing with her farm animals today, she bought the cow to me and said look mummy this one has a sore bottom and bits, she was pointing at the pink udders

Sitting in the car with my 3 year old GD 'nanny have you forgot to put your jelly in your hair'

sunandmoon · 18/12/2006 15:45

All so funny!!!
My cousin's daughter 5 yrs old met for the 1 st time my mother in law last week end and after a long day when it was time to say good bye, my mother in law picked her up to say good bye and the little one said very seriously:
"You do look quite old...."

VoodooGooseFat · 20/12/2006 12:06

me and my mum happened across a very embarrassed woman whose toddler was belting out at the top of his voice, in Tesco,, Old Macdonald Had A POO, eeeyi-eeeyi-ooh!!

she was mortified but everyone else was laughing...

balancingact · 21/12/2006 14:25

DD at breakfast to me: Mummy, you are a fabulous mummy: Me: Oh darling, thank you DD: ....and I am simply amazing.
she just turned 3.

slayerette · 21/12/2006 21:04

Swimming pool changing rooms (unisex): DS - 3 - pipes up 'Mummy, I'm sorry you haven't got a willy!'
And today got very upset when writing Daddy's Christmas card which said on the front 'To the best daddy in the world'. Why? Because if his daddy is the best in the world then all the other children will be really upset because their daddy isn't the best! What goes on in their heads?!

balancingact · 22/12/2006 09:24

We are catholic and 2 sundays ago DD was doing her usual jumping/running around in church - so i said, please behave nicely as we are not in a playground, we are in God's house. She dutifully goes up a few steps near the side altar and shouts "where's God?".
oh lordy

balancingact · 22/12/2006 09:29

When my DD starts to do something naughty, i start frowning at her as i am about to tell her to stop-- but she always beats me to it with a "why are you looking at me with that funny face? i want a smiley face, i want to see your teeth". Works everytime. Damn.

Labradora · 23/12/2006 10:49

This thread had me in stitches. And it put me in mind of these little situations:

  1. In cubicles at swimming pool, my dd 2.10, quite loudly - "Mummy, why do you have all that grass on your bottom?" Grassyarse senorita!

  2. Same dd when 2.8, at shoeshop. "I'm going to show these shoes to my daddy when he comes to our house. My daddy has a great big penis." We had to borrow some socks to try on the shoes and it did occur to me that it might be funny to send my dh to the shop to return them, but then I chickened out.

taffy101 · 29/12/2006 22:41

Writing xmas cards, 3yo dd says 'mummy help me put this card into the antelope'.
Also on same day she hurt 'the knee of her finger' - so descriptive I knew exactly what she meant

GiraffeGotTheLastRoomInTheInn · 29/12/2006 22:46

I have had to endure many singings this xmas of
'the kettle is glowing' (the cattle are lowing) and 'wise men came from a farm (afar)'

Bless.

nutcracker · 29/12/2006 23:01

I was in the kitchen washing up yesterday when all 3 kids came running down the stairs as they were playing hide and seek. Ds (4) shouted to his sisters 'don't hide behind the curtains because i'm hiding there' LOL.

Also, my daughter, age 6, caught me putting make-up on one evening, before going out. (I don't wear make-up normally). She asked what it was, so I told her, and I asked her if she liked it. She said "You might want to change the colour 'cos it looks like someone's punched you in the eye"!
