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? 😊

A cute one from this weekend:
Me: Did you sleep well DS?
DS, with a long suffering sigh: Not brilliant.

DS also calls hot dogs "sausage dogs" which is cracking me up.

My dc is still trolling me by calling tomatoes, potatoes, despite me correcting every time it's said. DC often looks at me a moment, pausing, then says, "Yes, mummy. That's right, I'd like some tomatoes, please." as if humouring me because I'm the one who is obviously wrong. 😵‍💫

My 3 year old - 'mummy are you a person, or a lady?'

Not sure how to answer that one 😆

Interested in this thread?

@Plantlady10 Have you decided how to answer yet? 🤔😂

Havoc has decided baby's rain boots are Old Lady Boots. Mummy, is baby going to wear the Old Lady Boots today?
Haven't a clue. 🤷‍♀️

"Does anyone have cash?"

Havoc has continued to refer to some clothing/footwear as Old Lady -- . Is baby going to wear the Old Lady socks, mummy? 🤔😂

It finally occurred to me! 🕵️‍♀️💡

I think Havoc means Old Navy! 😂😂😂

Havoc has taken to being my shadow and literally following me around at home a step behind me. When I stop Havoc says, Beep beep mummy. Out of my way.
It's funny and annoying at the same time. 🤷‍♀️

Mine has said today to his dad that he wants another member in the family (DH obviously thinks another baby) but DC clarifies immediately that the member should be my sister aka his aunt. My sister is much younger than me and DC thinks she’s his sibling. So my DH declared that we’re officially adopting my sister. She just turned 30!! 😂

Mumtobabyhavoc · 16/06/2025 16:25

Havoc is angling for new toys lately - daily. 🙄
Last week my reply was, Sorry, Love. It's not toy buying day today. That bought a bit of quiet.
This morning as I was putting breakfast together Havoc started asking for toys again.
First it was, We need to go to the toy store at Granville Island today.
No, Havoc, we're not buying toys there today.
Then it was, Mummy, can we go to the Aquarium after school today because I need to buy a toy there.
🙄 No, babe, we're not buying toys today. Go eat your breakfast please.
So, I'm just sipping my coffee, and Havoc says, very hopefully, Mummy, do you think Santa will bring me lots of toys on my birthday? 😃
Gently, I said, No, Darling. Santa only comes at Christmas. Santa doesn't bring toys on birthdays.
Cue a heavy pause. Havoc's staring at me processing. Eyes widen. "Whaaat? 😭

My DH was washing our son's (3) hair and I heard 'Dad, we don't do that to people' through lots of tears. He hates having his hair washed and rinsed!

Mine are now 8 and 4 and oldest is fine with her hair washed now but it was like she was being murdered every time. Youngest has started doing it as well. They'll get over it eventually. 8yo goes for her showers herself now and I hear her singing away in it. 4yo screams like we are torturing her.

I was not expecting this one tonight...

"Does your diarrhoea sink or float in your tummy?"

I didn't even know he knew that word (he's 3!) but no idea why the question entered his mind either.

I've been repairing and painting the walls and one wall in the living room currently has spackle waiting to be sanded after filling a few dings. Havoc was looking at this today then said: Mummy I know what you can do for those spots. You can hit them with a hammer!😃💡

🤦‍♀️

Another: Havoc wanted a milkshake for dinner. I was making chilli, which Havoc had also requested for chilli cheese dogs, so I explained I wasn't going to make milkshakes for dinner. This sent an overtired Havoc over the edge into inconsolable crying. After finally calming down Havoc said: Mummy, I'm very very frustrated that you keep saying No to me. It's making me really sad. You just need to say Yes because I'm very thirsty for a milkshake. Ok? 🥹
(I still said No, but geez I almost gave in!)

Awwwwww
it is so cute and adorable in the moment. The kids are not eating enough in this weather though.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 16/07/2025 05:41

Havoc coughs.
My mum: Havoc, are you okay?
Havoc: Yes, grandma. I had snot in my mouth and it made me cough. I'm ok now.

😵‍💫

Me: Havoc, finish your dinner, including your asparagus, please.
Havoc: I only like asparagus sometimes, mummy. It's not sometimes.

At the supermarket, in a trolley:

DC: "I want that..."
Me: "want what?"
DC: "thaaaaaaaaaaaat" pointing somewhere
Me: "I don't know what you're pointing at"
DC: "I said thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat"
Me: silence
DC: "I WANT THE PEEEEEEEEENIS- THE CHOCOLATE PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIS"

Chocolate peanuts.

I just had to bump this gem. 😂

DD (3.5) told me she only eats parsnips at Christmas and has several foods she only eats at grandmas house!

Mumtobabyhavoc · 02/08/2025 00:53

Me: Havoc, I said No.
Havoc: Mummy, stop saying that.
Me: Who's in charge here?
Havoc: You are.
Me: It's my job to say No sometimes.
Havoc: Look, find the button that says Yes and press it.
😵‍💫

Later in the conversation (which was never-ending...)

Mummy, you're the best mama, but if you don't say Yes I will have to fold you up and put you away. 😮

DH: (going in to bathroom late evening) bye see you later
DC: are you going to sleep in there ?
DH: no I am going out.
DC: through the window?

SayDoWhatNow · 11/08/2025 13:02

DC, getting a piggyback ride on DH's shoulders: "I'm getting so tired! All this walking!"

Mumtobabyhavoc · 11/08/2025 16:29

My 19m old recently said, Hi, baby, in the sweetest voice. 🥰

Not sure if DD 3.5 is too old for this thread now but today we had.

Me saying her name.
DD ‘not now right I’m busy doing something’
particularly funny as I was trying to give her something she had just asked for!

while doing messy play with potion making…
DD: ‘can I do anything I want with it?’
Me not sure what I’m agreeing too: ummm as long as it’s not dangerous

Me: A liquid is something that’s runny like water
DD: Or snot!
Me once I have stopped laughing: yes sometimes snot is liquid
DD: it is when it comes out

my teacher sister found the last one hilarious and is going to save it for her states of matter lesson!
