at a particularly holy, quiet moment (total silence in church) my 3 year old said in a very loud voice (totally out of the blue) 'DADDY, MUMMY LOVES SHOPPING DOESN'T SHE?' !!! - cue the whole of our pew rocking as we all tried not to laugh

Note to self: must stop dragging my children shoe shopping for me!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

haha! busted!

PinkTulips · 13/05/2007 22:10

thankfully dd hasn't hit the embarressing comments age ....yet!

Ceolas · 13/05/2007 22:14

LOL!

We were at mass this morning and there are photographs up of children who will be having their first communion. Each child has their picture inside a cardboard frame shaped like a chalice.

DS(3) is a big Disney cars fan and said in a rather loud voice "Mum, who's that with their picture in the Piston Cup?"!!

well, since you love shopping you'll like this one, dancingtina.

took DD1 (3.5) and DD2 (2) shopping (FOR THEM), and in the middle of next DD1 announces very loudly "look what you've done to me... you're an evil stepmother, and she's a wicked stepsister". She then pauses, long enough for all the appalled people to walk away and says in a much lower tone of voice "and I'm Cinderella". which obviously puts a totally different slant on the whole conversation. I was totally mortified and made for the exit, with DD1 continuing to shout variations on the stepmother theme all the way back to the car. Phoned DH for him to say, "she calls me prince charming". that didn't help.

Not gone back to that shop!!

My 20 month old loves the singing in church but gets cross & a bit bored etc when it stops/pauses between songs. Happily enjoying it the other week - pause between songs all of a sudden "tinky winky, dipsy, la-laa..........." she set her musical la-laa off at every quiet moment to show her disgust......thankfully everyone laughed and it was only 5 more minutes until she went off to creche.

Our dd (20 months)was not impressed that her dad was on the sound desk today - he's been away for half the week so she's a bit clingy. Spent the first 20 mins of the service shouting "dada, my dada, oh my dada" whilst waving vigourously at the sound box from the middle of the aisle. This was accompanied by much throwing around of the winnie the pooh she's taken with her, luckily a very child friendly church and no one minded.

She has for weeks now consistently shouted "gone" whenever the music stops - loves dancing about to the drums etc.

Recent Good Friday service she had our row in stitches as we were sat in front of a patic charasmatic contingent who had there hands up in the air during the singing - dd thought they were all waving at her so kept waving back whilst shouting "hi".

My Mum (60) took my 4 year old neice out shopping and my Mum went to the toilet. My neice was in the cubicle with her and said in a very loud voice "Grandma, what lovely knickers you have" cue sniggering from other cubicles, obviously occupied.

Ds2, this morning, could be heard at the opposite side of our church singing Rule Brittania (well, the tune with no words except 'Rule Brittania') at the top of his voice at the end blessing. I was mortified! Naturally everyone else thought it was hilarious! Perhaps I should teach him the words - I rue the day he got that blinking Leap-pad! He has the tune down to a fine art!

Aero · 13/05/2007 22:28

(he's 3 btw)

christywhisty · 13/05/2007 22:36

When DS was about 3 or 4 we queued up for communion, being a very independent little boy he went striding ahead to the alter and knelt down to be blessed. When the vicar came passed him with the wine he piped up
"No thanks, I have already had a drink today"

lucy5 · 13/05/2007 22:36

A funny thing happened to me, not to do with my children though.

A few years ago I started to go to mass again after quite a few years break. We all got up to sing " give me joy in my heart keep me praising" this was a particular favourite of mine as a child.

Anyway I threw myself whole heartedly into the song and belted out an Alleluia [sp]only to realise that I was the only one signing. i realised that this was an extra Hallelujah [sp] that my sister and I had added when we were kids and messing around.

soph28 · 13/05/2007 22:57

ha ha that's embarrassing totallyfloaty!!

in church a couple of weeks ago a baby a couple of rows back did the hugest burp I've ever heard during a quiet prayer- again cue rows of shaking shoulders- it was hilarious.

my ds (2) announced in a very loud voice in the middle of a cafe that 'Daddy gone to do a poo!' hee hee

Hi Cargirl!

harrisey · 13/05/2007 23:54

When dd1 was small there was a quiet pause for silent prayer in church

cue : (in loud yet prayerful voice, with hands together and eyes closed) - "Pot, handle, lid of metal, whats inside the sinnnnngiiiinnggggggg KETTLE!!!'

Dh said he thought he was going to wet himself. I think I actually did (pelvic floor not what it was!!)

OK - only Catholics will understand this one so had better explain it. After Holy Communion the priest drinks the remaining wine in the chalice, then pours some water in, swishes it round and drinks it to ensure that every trace is gone. Before doing this he brushes any crumbs from the bread hosts into the chalice to make sure that they are also consumed and not thrown away. One Sunday when we were sitting right at the front, just a few feet from where this was going on, DD3 (aged about 2 at the time) was watching this procedure in fascination. In went the water, then the priest brushed in the crumbs. At which point DD3 pipes up in a very loud voice "Look Mummy - now he's putting in the sugar!"

SueBaroo · 14/05/2007 13:11

when dd2 was about 2, she went through a phase of picking up specific words and shouting them out with great relish. So it was great fun when we were sitting at the back of church and she yelled

"Satan!"

One of my Rainbows was new to Church Parade and sat quietly, taking it all in next to me. We sit in the front pew, right in front of the vicar, who has a very small microphone attached to his robes so that everyone can hear him. In front of us is also a pilar with a speaker at the top of it. Anyway, new Rainbow suddenly looked around wide eyed and said to me 'is that god talking up there!' This is the same Rainbow who yawns very loudly and snuggles up to me and closes her eyes!!
