The things they say

Sorry I know this has probably been done to death, but I had to share this.

I was absent-mindedly (if that's a word!) singing along to a song on the radio which went something like "I better leave right now, before I fall any deeper.."
Then had the following conversation with ds (5)

Ds: What is that person going to fall into, that means they have to go?
Me: They are talking about falling in love.
Ds(after a moments contemplation): Oh...That would be a very soft landing!

I thinkthat will bring a smile to my face for weeks to come

Ds followed a man around a museum for a long time, I was starting to wonder what was so fascinating and asked him what he was looking at. He was 16 months at the time, so it was a bit of a rhetorical question but he eagerly pointed at the man, then pulled his own hair and then said "away". Yes indeed the man was bald, I fell on the floor laughing and ds just looked bemused.

Dd1 announced to me she'd had "slapjack" for pud at school, her friend then said it's not "slapjack it's flatjack" !!!!

DD used to call M&S 'Marks and Spensive' (as in expensive!).

And she tells everyone she had 'Chicken Pops' when she was a baby.

My washing machine is playing up at the mo and I was telling my dad all about it when Dd1 (6), said "you should get soem colgate for it".
I said why, and she said "you know the advert, washing machines live longer with colgate"

Picked my dd up from her firat day at school today (wel nursery IN the school) and she said,
"I had a lovely day and 'pletely forgot you weren't there and i didn't miss you"

We thought dd had chicken pox last week last week (it was flea bites ) and she also calls them "chicken pops". She then said, "There's a song about that, isn't there, Mummy", and began singing "We are the chicken pops, we are the chicken pops" to the tune of We Are The Cheeky Girls. Needed to be seen/heard to be believed.

We've just started playing around with reading with dd aged 3.5. We had some flash cards and I put:

Mummy is in the car

which she read happily. Then she said she wanted to put the Cat in the car, so reached for the Cat card and added it to the end of the sentence. I suggested that 'Mummy is in the car cat' wasn't quite right - the cat shouldn't be at the end. Her answer:

But the cat is in the boot Mummy!

Me (changing nappy) Oh dear, I think you've got an upset tummy.
ds (indignantly) - It's not upset. It's happy.

DS (2) to a bearded man in a shop, while out with grandad:
"My grandad's got a beard, but it grows out of his nose"

On Seal's second album is the song 'Bring it On', with the line, 'Don't wait until tomorrowwwwww'. Ds started talking about the song and asking why it was about the Tweenies. I was completely confused and it took ages until I realised that he was thinking that the line said, 'Wave to Milo'

DD (2y 5m) has a thing about her legs this week.

My parents took her for a walk in the Derbyshire Dales yesterday, up sme hills or other. DD was walking fine but started getting a bit tired and asked to be carried because "she only has tiny legs and it isn't fair".

Last night at home she was bouncing on and off of the sofa before bedtime, playing with DH. He asked her why she was jumping all the time and she replied "becuase my legs feel all rubbery daddy". Well, he did ask!!!

aloha, I used the same euphemism to my dd when she was a toddler. She later told her Dad, more accurately, that she had an 'upset bottom'.

nikcola · 11/03/2005 17:50

dd keeps saying to me "keep your hair on mummy "

roisin · 15/03/2005 18:49

DS2 (5) just came in to me and said
"Mummy, I really want to go to the Museum of Modern Art in New York" ...?!

swiperfox · 15/03/2005 19:11

dd has a top that says 'chillin' - the other day she came up to me and said "Mummy my tshirt says freezing!" Bless her.......

Last week in the dead silence of the library she dropped a book and exclaimed "Oh bollocks!!"
Not so cute!!!!

In town today we saw ds2's teacher walking down the street holding hands with her boyfriend.
DS2 announces very loudly: "Look, there's Miss X and her dad"
Me: No, that's her boyfriend, darling
DS2: No, it can't be her boyfriend. He's too big and too hold. It's definitely her dad!
Me: [couldn't speak] PMSL
