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

"mummy where's Thames Station"

"why darling?"

"beacause i dont ever want to go there!"

"dont know where it is darling, i dont think there is one."

"oh there is mummy, we said the lords prayer in assembly today and it said lead us not into thames station."

VoodooBanana · 27/10/2006 21:45

keep on bumpin'

Frizombie · 27/10/2006 21:47

Me today, dropping the cheese on toast upside down on the hob, 'oh bugger'
dd1, daddy, daddy, mummy said bugger, she should sit on the naughty step...

mandymac · 27/10/2006 22:00

DD is only 16 months, but just starting to talk. I am still breastfeeding her and the other day I pointed at my boobs and asked her what did we call this? So she replied 'juice'. DH asked her again later and she replied 'dinner' - it was just so funny as she is so little.

melpomene · 28/10/2006 00:13

I was trying to explain to dd1 (3) that we won't be able to buy her everything that she wants for Christmas, because we don't have enough money. She replied "Why don't you buy some more money? Then you can buy me everything I want."

kjaysmum · 28/10/2006 09:15

Ds 2.5 just had a phase of saying..."nnnooooooowwwaaayyyy" seems to have passed now and he just says no,...not half as funny

Bodkin · 28/10/2006 12:19

Loving "Thames Station"...

My DD was singing "the Bear Necessities!" the other day.

"Forget about your worries and your stripes"....

poppiesinaline · 28/10/2006 12:33

Loving this thread . I think 'Thames Station' is one of my favourites.

DD came out of school a few weeks ago

DD "I was on the school council today mummy"
me "Were you? Wow"
DD "yes, I was the Chair"
me "Wow"
DD "Dont worry though mummy - no one sat on me"

stoppinattwo · 28/10/2006 18:40

DD has just made me giggle, we were just doing veg for tea and she was pestering me to let het cut the veg

" no chance you may chop one of your little fingers off, and then what would you do"

she said "oh no i wouldnt be able to count to ten anymore!!!"

sugarfree · 28/10/2006 19:00

New one tonight here too.
"Jumpoline"= trampoline(Ds3)

ditzymum · 28/10/2006 19:39

my ds sings "sprinkle sprinkle little star".

When my Mum's cat died:

Me: I've some sad news, Timmy has died
ds: Where is he then?
Me: He's up in heaven
ds: Oh no I wanted to see him
Me: Well you'll always remember him, and you've got all your photos to remind you of him
ds: NO - I've never seen a dead cat before!!

Charleesunnysunsun · 28/10/2006 19:42

My DS (2) has just learnt the song 1,2 buckle my shoe.

Except every thing is

1,2 buckle my 'fat en'
1,3 knock on the 'fat en'

and it carries on he does love that fat en said in a very cockney manner along with stroking his imaginary beard saying 'ello mate' becuase this is what my granddad says to him in the mornings.

He's also a complete piss taker and walks around holding his back with his belly stuck out going 'oh ah oh back' he's 'tending to be mummy'

cheeky bugger!

3littlefrogs · 28/10/2006 23:00

DH and I discussing best route to go to something via the tube: northern or piccadilly line - DS1 bursts into tears and says "why can't I go on the piggy willy line!"

3littlefrogs · 28/10/2006 23:06

Heard on a bus: "mummy - what have you got on your bottom if you haven't got a willy?"

hotandbothered · 28/10/2006 23:33

LOVE piggy willy line...
v embarassing - dd in very loud voice 'why is that person round and fat and small?'
tonight - 'why do we put our food in here (points to mouth) and not in our tummy button?'

Greensleeves · 28/10/2006 23:36

DS1 thinks the Hammersmith and City Line is called the Ham And Cheese and City Line

he also thinks jacket potatoes are called Jack-in-the-Tatoes

He used to say "cootertooter" instead of computer but has grown out of that one now

VoodooBanana · 29/10/2006 16:24

love cootertooter!!!!!!!

TinyGang · 29/10/2006 16:33

sugarfree: 'Jumpoline' is so brilliant I think the word should be changed by law

fifi26 · 29/10/2006 19:21

While working in a primary school I was playing a word game with a group of 6 yr olds. Two of the children accused one of the boys of cheating. When I confronted him his response was "yes and I would have got away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids" - Scooby Doo style.

Might be one of those times where you just have to be there to see how funny it was but it certainly made my day

lizziemun · 29/10/2006 19:48

My dd (2yrs 9mths) had a tummy bud yesterday when using the loo (luckly no accidents) kept shouting to daddy that her bottom was broken. I don't know why as there was no way he was going near her.

TootToot · 29/10/2006 20:42

In Tescos the other day with my DD1 (3 years old). Had just agreed that she could have a 'pumpkin' dressing-up dress. When we got to the checkout she was still holding it

Me: Give the dress to the lady Charlotte.
C: Which lady Mummy? This lady? (points to the lady behind us in the queue.
Me: No darling, the lady there (points to the lady behind the checkout)
C: That's not a lady
Me: Give her the dress Charlotte.
C: (In a loud voice) But that's not a lady Mummy - its a man!)
Me: Give her the dress Charlotte.
C: You mean give HIM (in an even louder voice)the dress silly!

By this point the poor woman on the checkout was virtually chucking our stuff down the conveyor belt!

Sooooooo embarassed!

beegee · 29/10/2006 20:53

I was heavily pregnant and had probably been complaining about it under my breath for some time whilst in the presence of my 3 yo ds.

Around this time he said (after a couple of hours of intense playing)

[sighing] Ohhh, I just can't COPE anymore.

squatchette · 30/10/2006 01:29

When i was little our mum used to have a book of funny things we came out with.
Mum to me ,what are you doing in there(bathroom)?You've been ages.
Me age3-I'm constipated with laughter mummy.
Last week my 3 yr old who'd been in hospital was telling a friend how when she was very poorly we went to Manchester where the doctors put her in a cage and until she got better.(presume she meant the large metal cot they put her in.)

numberwang · 30/10/2006 01:46

Once when dd was little she had trouble getting her jumper over her head, and she said "I can't find myself!".

Also ds likes to watch Dr Who and the 'garlics'
