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

DD (5.5) announced this morning "I don't want my olives in my packed lunch today Mummmy, I'll have some carrot as I imagine it will be more nutrious than all that brine the olives come in".

Hmm... maybe not up to the standard of some of these, but DS2 just announced that he would like to be known as 'Lysander, because I'm very fond of Shakespeare's comedies'.

ds is 4.5 and ive managed to avoid dining in a mcdonalds restaurant with him until recently when a new friend suggested we take her dd and my ds there for lunch. Ummmmm... oooookkk says I.

When I plonked his 'happy meal' down in front of him, he looked up gobsmacked and said (really loudly) 'WHERE THE HECK (new word recently picked up in school) IS MY KNIFE, FORK AND PLATE?????'

[Cue background music cutting out and everybody in there stopping talking and staring at us with mouths open.]

DD1 was watching the Donny Osmond version of Joseph for the first time. When it got to the Potiphar bit she looked at the black and white Op Art set and said 'Goodness, it's like walking into a Bridget Riley painting.'

DS1 (2 yrs) walked into posh deli with his Dad to get supper and announced loudly 'This is not Tescos Daddy'

A few days ago, in the car, listening to "I can't get no satisfaction".
DS2's voice pipes up with "Shouldn't that be "I can't get ANY satisfaction, Mum?"

Not particularly poncey but ds3 used to say (whilst prising ds2 off me so he could cuddle instead) - 'you're my mummy and you're my responsibilty!' - at the age of about 3.

Dh, dd and I took my elderly mother out for lunch. Collectively, the adults ordered a latte, a coke and a diet coke to drink. When it came to dd's turn she primly asked for "A pot of Earl Grey tea, please."

DS1 (19 months) was in the bathroom when I was taking a shower, and very cross about how long I was taking - he took his thumb out of his mouth and said in tones of great delight 'Mummy very dirty'.

i didn't know whether to laugh or tell him off!

Hassled - send your DS2 to Pedants' corner. He'll be right at home there.

Another one from my dd2...

My dh normally has a rather nice, neat goatee, but just recently he has grown it out into a particularly hideous full beard (just because he can't be arsed to shave, the lazy sod). I have taken to referring to it as his 'ridiculous facial hair' in the hope of shaming him into shaving it.

Anyway, dd2 (5) is in our bed, and dh goes to kiss her and she says

'Get away from me, daddy! I don't want you to come near me with that ridiculous SOCIAL hair'!

Ds3 is exactly 4. He looked out of the kitchen window the other afternoon and said "It's getting dark because the earth is turning away from the sun now. but don't worry mummy. it will be back again tomorrow".

And today, seeing some seagulls gliding in the windy sky: "I think those birds are playing on the back of the invisible wind ".

Another recent poncy classic: "Why do rainbows begin with red ? How do the raindrops make that happen ?"

DD, age 5 today:-

"poorly is just the posh word for ill isn't it mummy?" "and illustrated is just the posh word for drawing isn't it?"

not so poncey really

dh has been laughing at me for going to tums and bums (or fat fighters as he calls it)while getting dressed this morning dd calls to him "look daddy man boobs" it made my day ha

When DS was 3 and the gas man was round checking the boiler, he asked DS "what are you having for your tea then?" to which DS replied "Earl Grey, I think we've run out of Darjeeling".

At about the same age he also asked the staff at his nursery "is this milk organic?"

Have just read some of the other posts, classic stuff! We're raising an awful lot of ponsey children!

suedonim your dd has great taste!

I particularly like "I am NOT struggling with my atheism!"

Oh forgot this one; ds2 is now 12 but when he was about 6 he asked a waitress in a Loch Fyne restaurant , completely unprompted, whether the tuna was yellow fin or blue fin. She managed to keep a straight face then ran off to ask.

my ds (2.8) is a total ponce.

The other day on way to M&T he said, 'The ladies at minis will LOVE my trainers'

When I asked him whether he minded not going to playgroup anymore he replied, 'Certainly not'

When my sis's FIL said 'Well goodbye, it was nice to see you.' DS replied, 'It was nice to see you too!' as he simultaneously pointed his finger at the man.

This morning, 'Daddy you look VERY smart. Mummy, do you LOVE Daddy's shirt?' (DH in his normal work clothes)

ds (4 and 3 very important quarters) explained to me about when you hurt yourself at school and have to see the special 'fair trader' (that will be first aider then) and later had a tantrum at the fish mongers when i wouldn't buy him sushi.what have i done!

ha, Ive remembered another one.

I quite often buy those little packaged sushi boxes from supermarkets for lunch and ds (age 4)likes them too (they are basically just rice with a bit of cucumber in!!)

Anyhoo, we were in some cheapy truckers stylee caff one day for tea and toast and the waitress said to ds "what would you like darlin'?" to which he replied... "Do you have sushi?"

I could have died.

just read bluecows post about sushi too! waaaaa the poncey little blighters!

My girl (now 7, then 4) always used to shout at the top of her voice in town (probably detracting from her own ponciness) 'Oh mummy...please can we go to the Winter Gardens and the Art Gallery again??? I love it so!'.

And with me a council waller from Walsall!!!! Where did that come from???
