Funny things your toddler has said

I thought it would be fun to share those little gems here.
Mine recently rubbed my pregnant belly and said, "Baby!" Then, without missing a beat touched my boob and exclaimed, "Booby!" 😵‍💫
And: while I was using the toilet came over to me, patted my leg and said, "Good job!" 👏

Got any to share? 😊

We were looking at farm animals the other day (for real life) and when we found horses and cows, DC said that no, they wanted to see sheep instead. So, we trekked around looking for sheep (which were oddly hard to find). Found them. DC looked, then said to me: "No. Cow better. More cows now please."

Gaaaaaaaaaaah.

Havoc has started replying "In fact ..."
Did you have fun at gymnastics?
Yes, in fact, there were two other kids there.
🤷‍♀️
Doesn't necessarily fit, but is getting thrown about.

DD 2.5 dropped her pencils on the floor, goes to pick them up and somehow falls over her own feet. 'I dropped me too'

Anything before she was born (4 years ago) is referred by her as ‘in the olden days’

DC looked at elderly ladies today and asked me "she die?" at toddler volume.

(They'd been singing "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly" at nursery)

This, unsurprisingly, made grocery shopping a rather awkward experience.

The ladies in question seemed to take it quite personally. I can understand why, tbf.

2 year old twins. 1 saw a hairy man on a bike the other day and said "monkey riding a bike".

We were with a friend who's DD has started potty training. So I said to my twins "shall we do that soon. And you can be big girls?". Twin 1 replied "No big girl. Going be a pirate".
Twin 2 said "Going be a pig".

My DD (2.5) has decided she is a big girl except on any occasion the dummy fairy is mentioned- then she is suddenly a little girl!

Havoc was a bit over tired, so bed time was a challenge tonight. I had to get a bit stern and take toys away:

Me: Number 1, Listen to mummy. Number 2, Yes, it' is bath time. Number 3, Then it's bed time.

I then went to get Havoc some pj's and returned to the bathroom.

Havoc: And number 4, mummy. I want my toys. Number 5, I want my toys. And number 6, I want my toys.

🤦‍♀️😂

@Mumtobabyhavoc Awwwww! Havoc sounds so sweet.

Scirocco · 28/09/2024 06:03

DC is very into cars but also has strong views on suitable colours for cars. All cars should be blue or pink.

DC asked DH's friend if their car was blue or pink. The friend replied that it's white. DC looked very sympathetic and patted them on their arm...

"That's terrible."

Mumtobabyhavoc · 28/09/2024 06:07

@Scirocco it was very matter of fact. 😂

That's funny! A bit of pity? 🤔😂

Edited

DC is brutally honest in expressing their opinions, often with excellent comedic timing. I had to try so hard not to laugh, as the friend had just been talking about how great his car is and I was secretly a bit annoyed that it's better than mine, performance-wise. (I like cars too, although I'm less strict about colour schemes than DC).

In a small cafe with daughter aged 2 at the time, take her to the single cubicle ladies and a woman comes out as we are going in. Unfortunately toilet hadn't flushed properly and when we went out daughters stops at the woman's table and says"I know what you did". Woman left.

Having a conversation with DD in which I said something about 'children'. DD getting increasingly upset 'I no children, I no children'.

SayDoWhatNow · 02/10/2024 12:38

DC saw a Dalmatian and was transfixed: "It's silly mummy! It's been painted!"

Scirocco · 03/10/2024 18:23

What flavour ice-cream would you like, DC?

(Thinks, then says decisively...)

"Chicken."

Suchardchoccy · 07/10/2024 21:12

DD 3 has started saying "just" with everything ("I'm just drawing mummy) sometimes doesn't make sense. Also "I fink" at the end of everything ("I'm hungry I fink) again, doesn't always make sense with what DD is saying!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 08/10/2024 08:57

Havoc's latest is to ask: So, what's going on here? and often follows with, How's it goin'? It sounds so funny when it's, What's goin' on here, mummy?
Uhhh, just making a coffee? 🤷‍♀️

Tonight I got a, Thanks, baby! after I changed Havoc into pj's. 😂

And the last few nights when I've given Havoc dinner it's been something like:
Mummy, thank you for making this dinner for me.
You're welcome, love.
I'm so grateful that you made this chicken for me, I love it. It's so delicious. 🩷

Aww, that's so sweet. Last night I just got a look of disdain at the plate and "cornflakes please mummy".

My LO said a few days ago

When I grow up and become big I can use knife and cut onions.

Cutting onions is my least favorite job when making dinner. Please be my guest 😂
