The things kids say

[Ailsa]

Having recently had my eyes tested and bought some new glasses, the first time I wore them dd (age 7 yrs) announced that they are ugly and they make my face look ugly!

A week or so later, I was sat on the sofa helping ds (age 4 yrs) get ready for school, the conversation as as follows,

ds: "Mummy, your glasses make you look ugly"
me: "Oh!"
ds: "Only joking!"

Anyone else got any gems?

twink your dd sounds great - a straight talking gal!

Neighbour had roof of new convertible down for
first time the other day.
DS: car broken.
I tried to explain that it was OK really etc but DS was obviously not convinced because the next day the roof was back up.
DS: (relieved tone)car better now.

breeze - sounds just like my ds!

We get all the time 'right mummy/daddy. number one, stop shouting, number 2 blah blah blah, number 3, blah blah' He usually only gets up to 4, while brandishing fingers at the same time. We feel thoroughly chastised by the time he's finished.

ive just asked ds (5) and dd (3) what they want to be when they grow up ds said fireman,soldier or policeman and dd said "i just want to go shopping" thats the spirit!!!

LOL Whymummy! Does she have expensive tastes yet?

DS (5) exasperated "Oh mummy, for love and pizza!" think was meant to be "for the love of Pete" but it gave us hysterics

oh very jodee!i`ve got her well trained!!

one of the mums at school took her 5 year old ds to legoland,she told the school that he had a bad belly the next day she reminded him to say to the teacher that he had a bad belly,when the teacher asked he said "i had a bad belly in legoland"

DD picked up the book I've been reading (Stephanopoulos' memoir of Bill Clinton, 'All too human' ) and settled down with dolly on her lap to read it aloud to her.

Apparently it says 'run, run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm the gingerbread man!'
Quite a good summary I thought

LOL Eemie! I can just see Bill Clinton crumbling away to a pile of sugary debris...

brians ks??

ks... you've got Brians what?? LOL

on the way to school i was telling ds about the dangers of talking to estrangers i said that if a man grabbed him he should shout and kick to get attention i also said that it could also be a woman that tries to take him away and he said
"well mummy if is and old woman ill grab her walking stick and hit her over the head with it" ill have to warn any old ladies approaching him from now on

See brians

I was looking in the mirror and asked ds what I looked like, hoping for reply along the lines of "the most beautiful mummy in the whole wide world". His reply was "You look like a mungan." When I asked what a mungan was he said "A mungan is a walking stick".

Last week I kissed him goodbye as I dropped him at nursery, but I hadn't had time to clean my teeth. He looked at me and said wearily, "Oh, mummy. Don't make my mouth all stinky". (I hasten to add I was going back home afterwards so did have plans to clean them that morning.)

Sitting in horrendous traffic on the M25, on Friday in the swealtering heat (no air con unfortnately), for over an hour when DD pipes up "Where's home gone?"

This morning dh was in bath and asked dd if she could get the shampoo from the shower she said, "I can't daddy but you can"!!

My 3 yo son pulled out my top the other day and said in front of my mil, mum, I love your boobs.

DS (3yrs) I love you so much mummy my tummy wants to pop!!! AAAHHHHHHH

We discovered this weekend that I am not 'Muh Muh' as previously thought, but 'Buh Buh'. So, for the last few months, (we now have realised) ds has been calling for his dum dum, not me

When I ask ds if he is 'Mummy's baby', he always says yes, which melts my heart...
