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

A long time ago, DS1 chose a children' Bible with a book token he'd been given. Spent the rest of the shopping trip saying:

Oh, Mum, I just can't wait to get home and read my Bible.'

last night at dinner I suggested to DS (3.2) that we cook some cottage pie together this coming weekend. His response, after careful thought: "Perhaps not this weekend,mummy. Maybe we could do it when I'm fifteen...... would you mind reminding me closer to the time?"

my all time favourite though, from about six months ago:

"Mummy, when I grow up, I'm going to be a man. And then I'll grow up some more and be a girl. And then I'm going to be a lady."

Good to know he has a good grasp of developmental stages

On the train this weekend, dd sat there with her laptop open asked 'mum, can we talk about antidisestablishmentarianism again' to general gawking of commuters.

(in my defence she asked years ago what the longest word in the world was. She then asked me to explain what it meant. She had forgotten what it meant and was asking me to explain it again!)

These are lovely.
I have just remembered an ex-boyfriend of mine telling me this from his childhood aged about 6 (bear in mind our childhoods were in the 1970s so this must have been extra poncey then):

Adult: So, small boy, what's your favourite dinner?
exBF as small boy: Pheasant.

He couldn't just say "spaghetti bolognese" like every other 1970s child...

don;t know if this is particularly poncy but i could hear something banging in the kitchen the other day and thought it was the door went opened the door and walked bac into the living room saying nope there's no one there

ds (6) says deadly seriously maybe it's god mummy,he's everywhere..

My mother, aged 5, was being taken to a childrens birthday party and insisted on wearing a necklace she had got in a cracker the day before. When she realised the party was in the church hall and not just somebodies house she turned to my granny and said "thank goodness I wore my pearls".

Became something of a family catchphase.

Whilst preparing veg for a stir fry, I took a pepper out of the fridge. The conversation with 2.3 yo ds went like this:

ds: mummy ds want to hold pepper
me: here you go
ds: pepper is cold
me: yes, do you know why it's cold (remember I just took it out of the fridge)
ds:
me: why do you think it's cold? Where did I get it from?
ds: Sainsbury's

ah you wankery lto of parents of pfbs

DD1 was floating around her bedroom before bedtime doing ballet steps and said "Mummy I think I must be like a chime - you know a nice bell noise"

"I am not precocious" and
"Actually daddy, that is a Birman cat as opposed to a Siamese Cat"...she has a bit of a cat thing going on at the moment! She'll be 3 in a few months.

DD 3.1 looking at a rather collapsed balloon animal: 'It looks like a Henry Moore, doesn't it?'

When asked to recount an anecdote: 'I can't....(waves hands mystically in front of face)... all the words are floating in the air....'

And last week on the subject of my dead Granny: 'Was she very old? Did we not need her any more?' (not poncey but quite funny nonetheless)

Trust cod to link to her own fecking thread.

DS (just 3) has shown relatively few poncetastic tendencies so far, but yesterday did pronounce "Mummy, A Midsummer Night's Dream is a little bit funny ... [pause, then broad grin] actually, it's a lot funny"

(He has taken over the Animated Shakespeare box set that I was given for Christmas, but is not a big fan of If You Like It [sic]).

Oo, DH has just reminded me of another good 3yo DD quote.

Me: You sound a bit croaky.
DD: I sound like Tom Waits!

My dd put her hand in her nappy and fished out some poo. I also saw her smacking her lips, so I've got a dreadful feeling she ate some, thinking it was a very savoury sort of cake.

I had a discussion with (well, I listened to) a 4 year old in work today. " I frequent mama and papas wine and cheese parties however, I dont care much for the cheese, especially (some random cheese name)" I asked if he drank wine "of course. unfortunately they have taken to buying wine from (??) valley, where I much prefer the wine from (??)" me = (sorry for all the blanks, I had no idea what he was saying, but you get the idea.)

Then I said I dont drink wine cause it makes me feel sleepy. He saud "yes, I get like that after a glass or so,so I just retire for the night" Me : " So, um, do you like building things?" then we played with lego. I was on verge of asking advice from manager re my duty to report suspicious treatment of children(now wishing I had said something - it was just WEIRD) They dont train you for that scenario during child protection training!

Not really poncy but Norovirus or something similar has struck our house in the past few days - 3 down so far. DD25 months went all day without food, when she was finally sick she bleurrghed and then before I could wipe the vom from her face she said (very sweetly) "Chair? Lunch?"

Ok, not poncey - (tho I will be back now I know this thread exists)

DS, 6: what do you want for your birthday mummy?
Onebat: A kiss, and a lie-in.
DD, 2.4: mwah! Rooaar!

I think glass coffin is winning, btw.
