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 watching a little ginger car while we were at the park. After he went away, DD kept asking “where has the gingerbread cat gone?” For days now she keeps asking to see the gingerbread cat

😆

You've reminded me. My son(3) is shark-mad so knows all the different types. But he calls Nurse sharks, Nursery sharks!

"Wow! A cave! That was exciting!"

We went under a bridge.

More something stupid I said, really... Having dinner, DC is looking longingly towards their books and making no moves to eat their food. While prompting actual engagement with dinner:

"I mean, are you waiting for me to feed you?"

DC's eyes light up...

"Yes!"

"Because that's not happening."

DC comes and stands next to me, mouth open, waiting...

After toddler group on a Tuesday my DS (3) and I have a routine of popping to Greggs for a sausage roll. He says 'can we go to McGreggs now'. I think it's McDonald's fault😁

Thought my 2 year old was finally asking for some proper food when he started saying 'chickens' at dinner time at my in-laws.

Turned out he meant Kellogs cornflakes.

On the night dd1 has girls brigade I sometimes take dd2 to the pub for some juice and crisps while we wait. We were going to do this the other night and before she had her jacket on she shouted loudly "are we going to the pub? Me wants to go!" She's bloody 3!

Scirocco · 20/03/2025 14:45

We went out for dinner the other day with friends.

DC all the way to the restaurant: "I want a burger please!"

Burger was duly ordered and provided.

DC, looking at the burger: "No thank you."

Mumtobabyhavoc · 20/03/2025 18:02

Oh, @Scirocco I can relate.
Last night, Mummy I really want to thank you for making that pasta for me.
Aww, you're welcome, darling.
I don't like it and I'm not hungry now.
🤦‍♀️

DD (3) was messing around at bedtime so I said ‘if you don’t get into bed we won’t have enough time for 2 stories’
DD: ‘I have lots of time on my watch’ 😂

Scirocco · 28/03/2025 19:44

"Do you like your dinner?"

DC: "I want to share it with the bin, please."

swampdonkey101 · 28/03/2025 19:49

My son was sat at the table eating his tea.
Next minute he is crying, when he stopped enough to speak he said “mummy I bit that chip and it bit me back”
we worked out he had bitten his tongue. Wouldn’t eat chips for weeks!

I love that one! 😂

Not something she's said but DD2 has had a cold all week and she sounds like she's on 100 a day so when she cries it sounds like a noise from a haunted house. Can hear it echoing through the house. I find it hilarious. Like I've got my own personal ghoul.

Nursery staff had an awkward conversation with me as apparently my one year old said ‘dick’ during a nappy change. They were anxious to reassure me that staff did not use that word. The manager assured me that she had told the room staff that she didn’t think we would use that word in our family.

In the bath that night he stuck a toy on the tiles and said ‘dick’. Then I remembered that I always said ‘stick’ when I stuck the sticky flaps down on his nappy.

My 3.5 y/o was just singing to my 15m old.
"I'm all about the bass, about the bass, no treble.
I'm all about the bass, about the bass..."

Yesterday, it was:
"I'm bringing sexy back! Yeah!!"

😂😂😂😂

Still on the same theme... last night: I've got love on the brain, mummy. 🤦‍♀️😂
Today Havoc added a line to Sexy Back: take it to the chorus....
I am dreading what might be next. 🫣

DS 3, showing me his toy dinosaur, "this Brachiosaurus is 3 months long"

Something similar here. DC is fascinated by one hundred and sixty five meters.

there’s 165 meters of cars
there’s 165 meters of dinosaurs
there’s 165 meters of houses
there’s even 165 meters of chicken nuggets

And there’s another thing, he saw a PS5 game which was age rated 18 that daddy plays. He was wondering whether daddy is 18? I said he’s double of 18. He was underwhelmed. 🤣

Today:
Mummy, I don't know what you are.
What do you think I am?
I think you're a pirate!
A pirate?
Yes! Pirate Mummy, what do you want to do today?
🏴‍☠️🤦‍♀️

I don't have a clue where that one came from!

Strangely I was also conscripted as a pirate today...

Scirocco · 26/04/2025 11:18

Sometimes DC is so kind...

"Mummy has tiny boobies!"

Thanks for that, kid.

Me to DS: I think this is your last turn. We need to go home now.

DS: I think you need to think again.
