So, we're sat here watching the Royal Wedding. As Kate was stood in the abbey, being straightened out, DS said "Mummy, the princess wants to sit down". He now thinks they're going to have a party where they drink fruit shoots and coke... Hmm

Meanwhile, my youngest niece (aged 6) thinks Princess Diana has come back from the dead. She's also informed her parents that she wants her wedding to be exactly the same... Grin

Anyone else had any corkers from their kids today?

My DD thought it was handy they had a Range Rover following the brides car in case it broke down as it's a very old car you know.

Mummy those boys singing are dressed all silly Hmm

I asked the children in my class (4 & 5 year olds) why people get married. One child answered "Well if you really really love someone you HAVE to marry them...if you want to." [cgrin]

Another child, on entering the hall where we were having a 'royal wedding banquet lunch' saw a picture of Kate and Will and said "Oh look! It's them guys that are getting married!"
What a coincidence [chmm] [csmile]

Mrsfred, I'm glad DS didn't notice. He would have had a fit! (he gets upset if there's no seatbelts on the bus, even)

Not this wedding, I know, but "Why's she dragging that curtain?" wondered DS when watching old footage of Diana walking up the aisle on her wedding day.

foxinsocks, tell DD he's mine Grin

LadyKaraStarbuckofThrace · 29/04/2011 12:45

DS (3.3yo) "have they finished yet?" when the bridal procession enters the church.
"Daddy I like that singing, can I sing like that?" commenting on the boys' choir!

Ishani · 29/04/2011 12:46

Dd wanted to know if Harry was single

She has excellent taste Grin

Tortoise · 29/04/2011 12:47

Older 2 ds's were obsessed with what if someone farts!
DD1 said it was getting boring. She just wants to see the kiss.

notevenamousie · 29/04/2011 12:48

Why didn't everyone laugh, clap and cry like at Aunty xxxxxx's wedding (my (only) sister, a few months ago). And the most beautiful wedding I've ever been at, I love my sister and BIL very much.

If she is a princess, why isn't the dress pink??
We're not that in to pink, and don't watch that much Disney, but I am aware of the impression it has now!

BlameItOnTheBogey · 29/04/2011 12:49

DS (nearly three) 'oh look they are having a donkey ride' (carriage from the church).

WhereTheWildThingsWere · 29/04/2011 12:51

Me - ds this is a very rare and historical event, the marriage of our future king.

DS - this is rare too, boomerang only show Scooby Doo twice a day Hmm

We'll watch some highlights later......

DontCallMePrincess · 29/04/2011 12:54

From Jodi Picoult's twitter...

Me to Sammy, re: #royalwedding: "Look at the carriage. Isn't it like a fairytale?" Sammy: "No, that would be a PUMPKIN."

See? Even award winning author's kids have classic lines Grin

farkthatforagameofsoldiers · 29/04/2011 12:55

Ds said "look, there is Princess Kate!"..........when her Mum walked into The Abbey Grin!

TabithaTwitchet · 29/04/2011 12:56

DD, aged 3, was most interested in the horses pulling the carriages, and what they were going to have for their lunch (and whether they would eat it out of a gold bucket) after they had finished the tedious process of conveying the Royal family back to Buckingham Palace.

She also asked excitedly where the whales were every time Prince Charles appeared, and has now decided they were all in the bath inside the palace.

brookeslay · 29/04/2011 12:56

my DS 26 mths sang along with the music liked Jerusalem the best which was sad as it was last sang at my SF funeral before he was born.

merrywidow · 29/04/2011 12:58

DS "Kate middletons marrying Prince Chiles" Grin

DontCallMePrincess · 29/04/2011 13:06

DS "Can we watch the Princess again, please Mummy?"

He's caught wedding fever. Hasn't taken his eyes off the tv.

tallulah · 29/04/2011 13:07

My 4 yo told me this morning that she didn't want to go to a wedding. Just as well she wasn't invited, she's been a PITA all morning Grin

She was also concerned about the lack of seat-belts.
