Funny things your toddler has said

[Mumtobabyhavoc]

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? 😊

Oh no, I'm sorry Havoc. I've still not worked out how to fix it. The best I can do is a magic spell that brings back daylight in about 12 hours' time.

My youngest has started school now, so not a toddler any more, but still comes out with some 'interesting' things!

Currently they are learning about the planets - turns out his pronunciation of 'Venus' needs some work 😂😂

Makes sense though!

Havoc has taken to saying, "Mummy, I have an idea..." several times a day.
"Let's put pink lights up in the living room." was one of today's ideas. 💡

My daughter says 'I have an idea' but when you ask what the idea is she normally says 'don't know' 'can't remember' or 'don't want to say'.
She also then tries to sing the song from molly and Mack on cbebbies

"Lock him in!"

Said by an older child, seeing a younger child being put in a playpen. I learned that this older child loved the story of Hansel and Gretel, and liked to be "locked in" the playpen himself, and would pretend to be Hansel, holding out his finger for his mum to feel, who would say "still not fat enough to eat".

When some builders were redoing our garden (with no rear access), I remember saying "naughty men" (aged 4) when they took a loaded wheelbarrow through our house, leaving a trail of dirt behind them. They liked this so much, they kept on repeating it every time they came through.

I don't want to say... 😂😂😂😂😂
That's the best!!!

That reminds of not a toddler, but an eleven-year-old who often said "I have a cunning plan". I wonder where she heard that? 😁

My parents have a treasured item: a quote book, where all the funny things anybody has said are written down; it was always an honour to say something that ends up in this book. I read it every few years, some of them I remember actually saying. Many of them were from me and my brother, some of them were coined by Roald Dahl which we had said differently, and sounded incredibly funny. Now, funny sayings from my brother's children are in this book.

Baking this morning, we'd talked about standing back from the oven. When I closed it, DC hugged me, saying: "Whew, that was close!"

I felt like such a hero.

i took my nearly 3 year old to soft play and we were racing on the slides. She kept going down first so I said “you’re cheating! You have to beat mummy fair and square”. She replied “I’m going to beat you circle and circley” 😂

According to my mum, I used to say "my feet trapped!" when closed toe sandals were buckled on to my bare feet in summer, so securely that I couldn't kick them off.

I was washing the electric skillet and Havoc said: Mummy, what are you doing with the witch?

The what? 😂

@Mumtobabyhavoc Does your skillet look particularly cauldron-like? (I had to look up what an electric skillet looks like!)

My brother used to say about things that were exclusively his: "it's my population". He didn't know what that meant, but it was a nice grand word to say.

Not a toddler but my 8 yo said

"Mom when I grow up I want to be a vegetarian "!
I say
"A vegetarian or veterinarian "?
She says
"Vegetarian "!
I say
"What is that"?
She says
"I don't know but it sounds fun"

😅🥹😅

@scalt looks like this, but in black.
So, I've been racking my brain trying to figure out the witch comment... I think Havoc wanted to play with it one day and didn't know what to call it, kept saying that and I kept replying with which? And, the which? And I played around with that. It was months ago, now, though...I barely remember. My poor confused child. 😂

(I hope you don't mind me adding ones I remember saying myself, I have a vivid memory of my own childhood.) I remember a time when I said to my parents (aged 5) "count to naught". They tried everything, including counting backwards to 0; and my dad had the bright idea of the numbers 1 to 9, then 0, like numbers on a telephone dial.

My thinking was: I had a toy for drawing patterns which had a disc with the numbers 0 to 35, so I thought 0 came after 35; it also happened to be my parents' ages at the time. But somehow, I knew they wouldn't understand my explanation, so I never gave it.

Doing the lovely ASQ assessment, which includes asking DC "Are you a girl or a boy?"

DC's answer today: "No! I'm Flappy the Dinosaur!"

or the switch, which was my first thought, assuming at some point you have talked about the switch and Havoc has taken that to be the whole thing.

(I used to dissuade S1 from jumping in some puddles with "that one's a bit deep" and then one day he told me he'd stepped in the bitdeep )

Overheard toddler in the bath just now 'I want a beard like daddy'

She's going to be so disappointed!

Mine an only said earlier today after noting the neighbors had 3 kids that He wanted another kid in the house. Not a baby. A kid. Tomorrow.

I wish science was that advanced 🤣

I got asked to provide an older brother the other day...

In a school, when I told a group of children that something was going to happen at 4 o'clock, a 6-year-old girl cheerfully piped up with "is that 4 o'clock in the morning, or afternoon?".

I was impressed by her attention to detail, and that she knew the difference, at her age.

My daughter announced the other day 'next time me want a sister'. Next time what I don't know as she has no siblings at all! 😂

My daughter and I sat in the GP waiting room when she was around 3, completely silent - let's rip the biggest fart I've ever heard, and then to top it off, this child raised her hand and proudly explained "don't worry everyone - it's just my bum!"
