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

dd1 (singing to herself) "Sing a song of sixpence, a pocketful of rye, four and twenty blackbirds climbed up a slide."

Glassofslime · 11/10/2006 21:13

dd2 sat on the loo, singing at the top of her voice 'Allways look on the righthand side of life"

DarkAlleyBongo · 11/10/2006 21:14

dd said to 2 policemen this morning as they walked past us "bye bye plum"

Sunnysideup · 11/10/2006 21:35

my ds, when he was two, pointed at a young guy with spiked up, carefully gelled hair and said sympathetically "Ah! Had a shock!"

Another classic of his was when he came downstairs one morning when he was 3, and said "Ah, another lovely day to be me!"

Love this thread!! Still not finished reading it all yet but kept thinking of things my kids have said then forgetting them so thought i better post quickly then read some more!

Mamaghoul pmsl at your dont worry you're not the dad comment!! Sorry that prob doesnt help does it!

And catj my ds (3) says exactly that i keep telling him he's too heavy and he says "no im not silly, im little".

Few months ago he went to toilet to do a wee but presumably couldn't do it as he came and told me his willy wasn't working and it needed new batteries!!

Also recently jumped off the edge of the chair and knocked himself and told me his willy was broken and wanted me to kiss it better, i blew it a kiss but he was really insistent i should kiss it properly until enjie bengy came on and he forgot!!

DD (5) watched who framed roger rabbit and said she wanted daddy to marry jessica rabbit
Me: I'm going to marry daddy darling, jessica rabbit can't
DD: But if daddy married her then she'd be my mummy
Me: What would i be then?!
DD: Oh you could be our grandma

bambi06 · 11/10/2006 22:40

my friend and i were in the car with our two little ones and hers suddenly shouted "oh sucking pillows" needles to say my friend has stopped swearing in the car at other road users!!!

LadyTophamHatt · 11/10/2006 22:43

Ds2 asked me earlier if a Rhino would be able to feel a teaspoon if it sat on one??

I have absolutley no idea how we got on to thi ssibject or how his mind works....

lovingbloodfest · 11/10/2006 22:51

Whilst trying to avoid the heavy rain today. I chased my d/d in to shelter under the porch whilst i get bags etc from car. Got to the door and d/d 5 said mummy that's d/d whose 3 first rainbow!! and it's my second time seeing one. Can we follow it!?!

3littlefrogs · 11/10/2006 23:31

3 year olds ask such difficult questions - "mummy, how do spiders cross the road?" and while I am thinking about that one... "mummy, what language do ants speak?"..... er ??? dd always made me feel very inadequate! Now aged 8, she insists she must accompany me to the parent/ teacher interview tomorrow, as she is certain i will not be able to understand her school books without her there to explain all. Obviously I must give the impression of being very dim.

fortyplus · 12/10/2006 00:45

Age 2 ds1 confused his grandad by shouting 'LOOK - dip wally, dip wally!'
He meant 'skip lorry'
He's now 12 and still comes out with occasional classics like 'Mum - there's a girl at school and I think she fancies me - she keeps coming up and talking to me for no reason'
Talk about men are from Mars - I go up to people and talk to them for no reason all the time!

mymama · 12/10/2006 01:35

pmsl. I found ds2 (3) crying on the toilet yesterday.

me "what is wrong"
ds2 "it's small"
me "what is small"
ds2 "my doodle is small".

poor boy was upset because after he wee'd his "doodle" had got smaller!!

DD 2.8, is obsessed with adverts on the telly. It's really the only time we get any peace and quiet lol. Anyway, on a recent trip to Sainsbury's we went down the tampax aisle. DD was sitting in the trolley, merrily looking around, spots a box of tampax and literally screams at the top of her voice "Mummy have that! Power Flower in the bathroom, mummy have that!" Got some funny looks! Wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't start pointing and kicking up a fuss as we wheeled her quickly past

MissyBabee · 12/10/2006 08:46

great, these just keep coming! looking forward to a good laugh over coffee later

sockmonkey · 12/10/2006 11:32

My DS1 is not too keen on his baby brother, and will often tell me to put him in the bin. After an arguement over a toy he said to put baby in the bin. Me "I can't he is your brother and we love him, and anyway the bin is full".
DS "well, take him to the dump then".
The logic of a 3 year old

PferPferPumpkinEater · 12/10/2006 12:07

DH wandered into the living room and said "there's a funny smell in here". DS1 (4yo) replied "Yes, it's called Matthew" (ds2)

MamaGhoul · 12/10/2006 12:12

A colleague told me that her DS came running downstairs aged 3, burst into the living room where she was sitting having coffee with three Mums from parents and toddlers (first time at her house) shouting

"Mummy! I've found Daddy's willy in the wardrobe"

can you guess what he was clutching in his hand?

PferPferPumpkinEater · 12/10/2006 12:15

PMSL!! [GRIN]

This is marvellous!

My niece observed to all and sundry the other day that 'Thomas the Tank is having a wee.'

The steam-engine was leaking...

maggi · 12/10/2006 13:33

I always got very shocked looks from people when my little one would suddenly scream out "__UCK". whenever he saw a lorry (TRuck).

kimi · 12/10/2006 14:14

DS2 was looking out of the kitchen window the other day at a Robin red dress!

fortyplus · 13/10/2006 01:04

someone should turn this into a book

ClarissasMerrylegs · 13/10/2006 11:32

While eating dinner the other day DS1 sat there and said;

"Mummy, why are you fat? Look your belly sticks out"

I'm sat goldfish style while DPs trying very hard not to spit his dinner everywhere.

After a little spell of but I'm not fat, he went on to say;

"But mummy, you are a bit wide!"

(I'm a size 8-10 BTW!)
