Hi, my 5 year old daughter always come out with really funny comments and sayings and the teachers at school call them "Lucy classics" and tell me when I pick her up if they've heard another Lucy classic.
I'm thinking of writing them down and putting them in her memory box for when she's older. I could put the age beside each quote.
I'd love to hear about any one else's "classics" I have tooth ache and need cheering up.
Lucy's latest was one about mis pronouncing frog spawn. (That was a different thread)

Today my DD (2.9) has announced that she doesn't like "sketti bobblenose" (spaghetti bolognaise) although she ate it.

She has also spent a lot of the day wearing her Dora the Explorer swimming costume over her leggings and t-shirt. She put it on herself... It's helped with the potty training no end - she didn't want to wee on Dora!

Oooh, I wish I'd thought of that when training Lucy.

My DS (20 months) was running around in crazy circles in the sunshine this week, and when I went closer I realized he was trying to escape from his shadow - run a bit, stop and check, distressed look, run a bit, stop and check, distressed look...

Littlest Manky announced to my neighbours that we had to go indoors and see if daddy was home because mummy needed "sexercise".

I actually wanted to check he was in so that I could leave littlest manky and go for a run.

DS, aged 3 and with chicken pox, had a big spot between his bum cheeks. He observed "Mummy I have got a cheerio in my bottom"

My DD (16 months) was looking at a book and kept licking her left fingers before turning the page over with her right fingers. I realised she was copying me when I lick my fingers to turn over the pages of a magazine! It's amazing what they pick up and made me laugh because she had such a look of concentration on her face!

mummyloveslucy · 06/06/2010 19:01

I've just told Lucy it's time for bed and she's said "Oh, you is a pain in the back side Mummy!" She's never said that before. (little treasure)

DS (20 months) woke up this morning and while still half asleep told me earnestly "Elephant.... bus!" I can only assume he had been dreaming!

He also does a very cute number chasing our cat, Bernard, around the house and garden. As soon as he goes out of sight, he walks around with a questioning expression holding his hands out in the sign for "Where" saying:

"Where Ber-ber? Where? Look! No Ber-ber. Where?!"

Then he finds him and he gets all excited and points and says "ERTIZ!! (There it is) BER-BER! LOOK! BER-BER!"

This repeats for about an hour.

Ds2 is 8. Today at a friends dd's christening; (when water was put on babys head) 'What is he doing to that poor baby? You don't pour water on babies!!'

Then when the godfather was given a candle to light 'Oh, so what is he doing now? Is he going to set the poor thing on fire'

All in a very loud whispers.

I have been wanting to get some disclosing tablets for 5 yr old DS to help him see where he needs to brush his teeth. When we were in the pharmacy last week he reminded me to get some "exploding" tablets..... Senakot, anyone??

mankymummymoo · 06/06/2010 19:25

one morning I heard the refuse collection vehicle outside. I overheard this conversation:

DS2 age 3 What is that noise?

DS1 age 5 It's the rubbish men.

DS2 But I thought all men
were rubbish.

Can't think where she got that idea.

Lynli · 06/06/2010 19:53

My DN age 3 at a family gathering, with about 20 people in the room, put her head in my DMs lap. She then lifted her head looked straight into DM's eyes and said "Nanny your noo noo smells"
My DM's face was a picture

YunoYurbubson · 06/06/2010 19:56

4yo dd came racing up to me and breathlessly explained that she has has a BRILLIANT idea... when she's a grown up she is going to marry 2yo ds and then they can still live together and play games!! Her little face shone with the genius of her plan.

mummyloveslucy · 06/06/2010 20:08

Lynli- I would've loved to have seen her face! How embarasing.

Mankymummymoo you just reminded me:

I was with my DS age 3 in a shop, trying on hats for a wedding.
There were several other ladies around.
I put on a hat and DS looks up at me

" oh Mummy you look beautiful"

I smile everyone goes Ahhh

"just like the Fat Controller"

laughing stock.

hahaha this thread is making me laugh a lot.

dd(4) in matalan a few weeks ago "mummy look at that big lady"
yes dd that lady is bigger than you she's a grown up
"but mummy look how big her bottom is"

why do small children have big voices for things like this??

another from dd, who has an allergy which means at nursery she sometimes gets different meals frm the other children. Comes home tells me her and another little girl had a different meal from the others, I asked why and she says "because I have an allergy and A is an allergetarian" (she meant vegetarian

KickButtowski · 06/06/2010 21:25

Our ds was obsessed with dh's little battery alarm clock and was forever talking about playing with "daddyy's cock" always followed by me yelling "L L L L L L there is a L in clock, say it again, cLock"

sweetnitanitro · 06/06/2010 21:27

These are all so sweet

DD (20 mo) has recently started doing all sorts of animal impressions, roaring like a lion being her favourite. We slept in the other day and when we came downstairs I announced to DH that we'd had a lovely long lie-in. Cue roaring noises from DD

booyhoo · 06/06/2010 21:31

ds1 (age 4) when asked to lift his toys from the floor, loudly tutted and proclaimed, "it's all me, me, me. you never lift a finger round here."
