DS's triumphs for the day were:

a floaty kind of dance - "I am an anemone dancing to the music of the waves"

"When I die, don't bury me - I am too beautiful. Put me in a glass coffin."

not his butchest day ever

he sounds just so fabulous!

I tried to make a coded message for DD in too much of a hurry (and after wine) and she had to point out that it ended VVVV instead of XXXX (kisses)

deaconblue · 26/01/2008 20:47

ah, how sweet. My ds not nearly so arty farty in his expressions yet (only 21 months) but I am just as chuffed with "tickle tickle" which he said for the first time today

JingleyJen · 26/01/2008 20:49

Poncy (ish)
in John Lewis today DS1 (4) walks up to till as we go to pay and says to man - "Hello how are you today?"
Thankfully the 16 year old serving us smiled and said "fine thanks for asking"

smoggie · 26/01/2008 20:57

F&Z - PMSL. Howwwwww sweet

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:00

My DD is 15 months and obsessed with stars..today she spent the whole day spotting them in books/on toys and saying "tar"!

kindersurprise · 26/01/2008 21:01

F&Z
That is so cute. Is his favourite book Sleeping Beauty by any chance?

DD (5.9yo) said the other day, "our curtains look like caramel raining from the sky"

And DS (3.6yo) overheard his kindergarten teacher asking her workmates if they wanted a coffee, he replied, "not for me, thanks"

Thomcat · 26/01/2008 21:02

Hmmm, well none of them really speaking properly yet but DD1 did say "more yoga please', which i guess could count as poncy.

LOL at you DS though F&Z!

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:12

LOL and at last three posts

we are raising a generation of ponces

They will take their mothers out to dinner and order for us in french, then ask "is that nail varnish Chanel?"

"Mum you are so lucky you had a girl like me! What would you have done with a horrid boy?"
when dd2 was age 7 and3/4 (or there abouts)

singersgirl · 26/01/2008 21:21

DS2 (6): "I want you and Daddy to kiss me simultaneously, one on each cheek."
"I am NOT struggling with my atheism."
"I think the guinea pig is reluctant to eat is cucumber."

Are those poncey enough?

pigleto · 26/01/2008 21:22

"I'm not naughty, I'm a tiger" dd 2 on being asked not to unplug the hoover, again, while I'm hoovering.

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:23

"I am NOT struggling with my atheism."

oh dear LOLOL

DS laid out all his old splints in a pattern on the carpet and announced 'It's an installation of legs. Like Louise Bourgeouis, Mummy!'

PMSL at glass coffin!

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:24

on a similar note, ds said the other day, after the Jehovah's had called

"They believe in GOD?? Do they believe the EARTH is HOLLOW???"

Aaaah. No poncey contributions here (that I can remember anyway). But wasn't it Snow White in the glass coffin?

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:25

"I am not naughty, I'm a tiger"

DD 2.5 when chosing birthday cards today:
'Yes I will consider this'

FrannyandZooey · 26/01/2008 21:26

it was indeed Snow White, yes

a frightening insight into my son's psyche, isn't it?

he has asked for 'pants with princesses on' in the past. I feel so MEAN not getting them for him

DS 3.7 yesterday whilst waiting in his grandad's car for the train to arrive said 'we can't wait here all day'.

DD 1.2 has been saying 'tea' everytime she sees a mug.

Not startlingly exciting or poncey but proud mummy nonetheless!

onepieceoflollipop · 26/01/2008 21:27

dd2 has somehow learnt to wave in quite a regal fashion (she is only 5 months) She did it for dh and my stepdad. I thought that they were just imagining it (doting, indulgent grandad and daddy) - but it was true. The poor child has had NO peace all day as they ask her to wave again!

kindersurprise · 26/01/2008 21:28

oops, you are right, it was Snow White.

lol at the atheist and leg installation.

DD said the other day, "That is most inconvienent"

I blame George and the Dragon

kindersurprise · 26/01/2008 21:29

Argh, I cannot even spell inconvenient

mollymawk · 26/01/2008 21:30

Ooh FranMay, my DS1's first word was "tea" (as in cup of). A sad indictment of our lifestyle, I felt at the time.
