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?

Sobernow, I love that! My 19mo dd loves to grab my handbag and keys, hooks the bag on her elbow, jingles the keys in one hand, and walks around the house waving and saying "bye bye! see you! bye bye!"

Well, DS got his "purple balls" today, plus some green ones, a big carton of gold ones and an Indian-style chain for the Christmas tree.

We had a lovely afternoon shopping, no tantrums, and as I was putting him to bed I whispered "Thank you for being such a good boy today" know what he replied? "You're welcome"! How do they get so serious so young?

Lol evryone - these are all so precious. Ds says Christmas as "kripnik" - I must catch it on video before he learns to say it properly!

It's more something DS did than said (he's only 15 months) - but it had me in stitches....

Shamed by last weeks comments on the "Am I dirty thread" into thinking I ought to have more bras I went out and bought a new one at the weekend, which, shall we say, makes me appear to have rather more of a cleavage than usual. While I was changing ready to go out to dinner on Saturday night, DS wandered in, stood and looked at me for a few moments, then turned around and wandered off again. Next thing I knew he was back, with his two small footballs held to his chest and a big smile

DS1, who is just 4, has been singing 'Behind you we bring, to you and your King, we wish you a hairy Christmas and a happy new year'

Bless him!

Told DD 2.5 that I was thinking of buying nanny a flower for Xmas, she thought & said very seriously, "I think nanny like a leaf as well".

A couple of weeks ago when we were at my Mums, she took dd to the loo, which is the room next to the kitchen, so we who were sitting at the table having our tea were able to hear it all. Mum lifted her up and as she did so said 'Hoooch ya willie' - something that Perth people tend to say when lifting a heavy weight up high. Immediate response from dd 'I haven't got willy!'

Listening to the Blue/Elton JOhn version of Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word on the radio in the car. Grace aaged 4 and learning to write/read said v seriously " Sorry's not really the hardest word is it mummy?"

My four year old son, asked where his daddy was that night. I told him he had gone to see friends and was staying over. He thought about it for a bit then said very seriously "has daddy got a friend then?"

After his bath, ds was curled up on the floor, wrapped in a towel, pretending to be a "baby chicken" in an egg. After a couple of minutes (I had to sit on the egg first!!!!), he hatched and off he wandered. A minute later he was back, in tears. "Daddy said I'm a big boy", he sobbed, "but I'm not, I'm a baby chicken!"

Oops, didn't mean to post twice, wasn't that funny.

RosieT · 27/12/2002 22:03

Reminds me of when my ds told me recently 'I think I'd like a baby brother ? and I'd like you to hatch it out'

Today, ds who is 4yo told me that, I could not go off shopping on my own, as someone might carry me off, dh found this hilarious, proberbly since I'm 5f1 and a size 18-20.

Years ago, my (now 17) nephew drove my sister bats when he kept turning his bedroom ceiling light on and calling for her. Sis threatened dire consequences if it happened one more time. Obviously it did and when my sister demanded what was wrong this time, my nephew said " I only wanted to see if teddy had any thumbs!"

Quotes from my 4 year old son during the Christmas period: " I've given Pecan ( his beanie baby) super powers with turkey!"

"I'm eating a hairy egg " when eating a kiwi fruit.

"Pleeeeease have a play fight daddy I've got some new moves!"

anais · 29/12/2002 23:46

Ds (4) told my Mum today "you are the beautifullest lady I ever heard"

Standing naked in the bathroom this morning my daughter felt down below and said "look at my nunny it's enormous". Aarh. R

We were sat in the kitchen eating the other evening when DS looked up from his meal and said with a very serious expression "no nee-nah, all-gone nee-nah". Now why he should need to confirm that we didn't have a fire engine in our kitchen at that particular point I'm not entirely sure.

Still its an improvement on the one where I in my wedding dress am thought to be Harold the Helicoptor.

Watching Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack and heroine kiss (no, not the traditional story!!!) DS2 (5) says: " Errr, yuck!! Why are they kissing - that's not hero stuff!" So now you know - heroes DON'T kiss!
