It's time for a 'marvellous poncy things my child has said and done today' thread

[FrannyandZooey]

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

Yes F&Z she has been a clever whotsit today. Also proclaimed when DH told her that she couldn't have any chocolate that her toy sheep said she could:
'Sheep the Deep says I can have some, don't you Sheep the Deep?' Yes that really is it's name too .

dd on seeing someone reading the Guardian on the train this morning said (a bit too loudly) 'that paper isn't as good as the Telegraph, is it mummy'

(I should point out there's a vested interest there, before it sounds too poncy, but poor Guardian reading chap didn't know that....)

DC were playing in the shower - dd said lets be john the baptist and wash ourselves in the river.

She still thinks that religion is a novelty after starting school!

DS would love pink knickers- he wants to be a princess when he grows up (currently 2.8 will remind him of this when he's older!)

Urgh, yes mollymawk, maybe life will become more exciting at some point! We stay in - we drink tea. We go out - we go for cup of tea...

nothing ponçoid to report today, save that dd appeared during ds's piano lesson modelling a small, rakishly-angled, self-made orange cardboard crown - piano teacher said "oh, Queen Mary", & we christened it the Cocktail Crown.

this was from the other week, but I bought some asparagus (ruddy lovely) and while we were eating it, ds said "Is asparagus in season?"

I admitted it was not.

['I am disappointed in you' voice] "Oh, Mummy"

Ds is 2.2 and has called me mummy pig all day (Thanks Peppa) and when dh came in from work he automatically became daddy pig. When we aked him what he was he got a big grin on his face and said "I'm Gorgeous"

'Poncoid' is a good contribution Bink.
especially with a cedilla, natch.

OK, well beat this. DS2 (12) came to me this morning (just as I was applying mascara so not the best moment as you will appreciate in a minute) and said "You know Mum, I think I'm hitting puberty head on. I've got a fair number of spots, I think I'm getting taller and I'm growing a bush."

So, not at all poncey but eye-wateringly funny - when you've just stabbed yourself in the eye with a mascara brush.....

Freckle

oh GOD Freckle LOL

I asked dd2 if she had a nice day at school?

Expecting the normal "yes" instead the reply was.....

"it was challenging enough without being to demanding" year 4.

lol freckle, serves you right for putting on make up while dcs are within a mile radius.

I asked DD1 (4) if she enjoyed her pudding ( muller fruit corner yoghurt) - "I very much liked the white yohurt in my dessert however I'm not especially keen on the cherry sauce"

Yes would have done

eek freckle, have we got that to look forward to? (Well done you for creating the kind of set-up where your ds can be so FRANK.)

A propos, dd (who's 7) got quite cross with me the other day on the way to the bus when I would not/could not explain technically clearly enough WHY you can choose to have x number of children. It was one in the eye for all those people who say "they don't want the whole picture, they just want enough to go away with"

Well, that would mean waiting until they are all out of the house before applying slap. My bathroom is a bit of a free for all in the morning, regardless of what I am doing. I do occasionally yell that I'm doing a poo (even when I'm not) as that is the only thing likely to prevent an invasion by one or more boys.

Freckle pmsl

someone remind me to put that last post for quote of the week.

Wen my ds2 was born, ds1 (4) came to the hospital and helped carrythe nappies. He picked up the packet saying 'Pampers. For drier, happier babies' and flounced out.

DD really embarrassed me this week - while we were taking dd2 to casualty with her sore arm, a helpful kind friend picked up dd1 from school and fed her and was even kind enough to make her a packed lunch for the next days school.

When i came to pick her up the first thing she said, before asking how her sister was or anything, she shrieked in front of this woman, 'MrsK has made me a packed lunch but i can't eat ANY of it, it's sooooo unhealthy!!' She went on to say 'it's even got one of those cheese string things in it!! and actual chocolate, for school! and crisps! What shall we do!!'

I whispered to be quiet and say thank you. And explained that just because she didn't always have stuff like that, it would be fine and she could just eat it.

When she got home the next day she said 'that cheese string wasn't as bad as i'd expected, it tasted almost of mozzarella!'

ooh you've just reminded me.

Friend was telling us about her website last week (new business). Was very excited about it.

So me and ds looked at it when we got home. On the front page there's a spelling mistake (loose instead of lose). Now I'm no pedant but happened to say out loud (without realising ds was paying attention) 'why do people always mix those up, loose and lose, 2 totally different words'.

Roll on this week and friend came round today. Before she'd even said hello and taken her coat off, ds ran up to her and said 'there's a spelling mistake on your website. You put loose, you meant lose. Why do people mix those words up? They mean completely different things' and then went back upstairs to play. .

Boco
I assume your friend is no MNetter? Did she put a fruit shoot in too?

lol boco. We can laugh amongst ourselves.

(Is her arm better now?)

DS2 (4) drew me a picture (last week i admit) which had lots of dots and slashes on a blue background.

"It's the sparkle in the rain mam" He said.

I nearly wept.

My mum (trying to distract DS from throwing a nappy change induced tantrum recently) drew his attention to the picture on the packet of nappies, "Ooh, look at the baby - isn't he lovely? You're not a baby anymore though, are you darling?" DS (2.2) replies in bored voice, "no grandma, I'm a people"
