Does anyone else have constant bizarre conversations with their dc's?

[KTNoo]

Okay. This was all in the space of walking from school to car today.

DD(6)out of the blue)Mummy, why can't we get a pet?
me: Maybe we can when you're older.
DD: But I can't wait that long!
me: It can be hard to wait can't it.
DS(4): I'm not going to get older. I'm going to stay a children then I won't die.
DD: But why don't you want a pet now?
DS: Mummy can I draw yellow ghosts when we get home?
me: Um...yes....
DD: What about just a rabbit?
DS: Mummy my teacher says you need to buy me little trains like the ones at school.
me: Rabbits make me sneeze. I'm sure your teacher didn't say that.

It went on and on. All these subjects in about 2 minutes. Meanwhile dd2 (18 months) was trying to run into the road.

Is this how all my days are going to be now?

While we're on the subject of dying....

DD(6) today: Mummy I don't want you to die.
Me: Well, hopefully I won't until I'm very very old and fall asleep all the time (thought she would relate to this as her school sang carols at the old folk's home and she said they all fell asleep)
DD: When you die do they put you in the ground and put a big stone on top of you?
Me: Er...yes. Did you learn that at school?
DD: No, I saw it on the Simpsons.

DS, on the other hand, has taken to yelling "I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!" when I put him on the naughty step....

My 2 1/2 year old today has asked me today

1. what is poo made of?
2. what is wee made of?
3. what is brain made of? 4 is my poo made of brain?
4. is my brain made of poo?

From dd (aged 4)

(We'd just been playing on the terrace in bright sun and had had to run inside because of rain)
DD: oh no (looking out of window - wailing)
me (rushing over alarmed): what's wrong?
DD: (crying) my shadow is going to get wet

DD: D'you know Mummy, I have a friend (imaginary) called Dilly. She speaks Spanish and 'as gone on holiday.
me: Where's she gone?
DD: Morania

DD: (putting on back-pack) I'm going to work now, I'm very busy, I'm going to see my clients. (Stops walking and says impatiently.) Cry Mummy. You've got to cry.
Me: Oh sorry (starts pretending to cry)
DD: You can stop crying now - I'mmmm baaaaccckkk!! But I haven't brought you a present...

Oh and one from this morning when I was getting dressed

dd: s'alright Mummy, you don't look hideous ...

DS while playing with his knights & castle set, which includes a toy dragon
Mummy Dobbin the Dragon needs his bottom changing!
(lies toy dragon on its back)
No kicking, Dobbin the Dragon, kicking is NAUGHTY!

BTW I 'helped' name the toys in the castle, there's a horse called Dobbin and I suggested calling the dragon Puff but DS insisted on Dobbin The Horse and Dobbin The Dragon.

He's 2.

It's the stuff they pick up from me that I find so worrying.

Me: Come on DD we need to go.

DD: Just let me make one quick phone call and I'll be right with you.

LOL RL

My dd's current favourite is,

"Be quiet Mummy - I'm con-cin-tratin"

BOO64 - yeah they tend to use both hands fairly equally until a certain age. They have usually decided which one before they start school.

My son however uses his left hand for everything and always has done, also his left foot.

Genuis or nutter, thats not been decided yet!!!
