on a lighter note : Out of the mouths of Babes.... funny things your kids say...

[jojostar]

This morning getting ready for school helping my 6yr old dd put her tights on....

Mummy...

yes, come on put your leg in, watch what your doing.....

Mummy...

yes, what? other foot now...

Mummy..you know your belly?

yes

Mummy..you know your belly? (now prodding my belly and losing a finger in the fold of it around the point I last saw my bellybutton about 6yrs ago)

Yes... (waiting for it)

Mummy you know your belly I think it needs ironing......

If only life was so simple I'd have a travel one in my pocket, just popping to iron my belly wont be a min...I could be cindy crawford I could do my legs too hold one end and stretch iron them....
What a super idea.....

Lol if only!

My dd once asked me if she'd have "big eyebrows" like me when she was older.

Asked a 4 year old mindee what she wanted to do when she was a grown-up.

"Colouring in".

God I'd love that job.

DD (2.6) has decided that she is going to differentiate between her two Grandads by calling DH's dad:

'Old Grandad'

He is older than my dad but only by 11 weeks! Luckily he has a great sense of humour

After the first week of school, ds had a barage of questions as diverse as 'What happens in Iceland?' and 'What would happen if we fell off the world?'.

But the classic - 'Mum, what are 'motor skills' (he had had PE that day so presumably had heard the word there). I started to explain in was how we move our bodies and co-ordinate ourselves and he pipes up...'so you can move your [toy] cars?

DD1(3.5) shouted at me this morning whilst hearing I was on the phone
"Mum, you musn't say pain in the arms!!"
Think you can guess what she overheard..

I tried on some (what I considered to be) very nice court shoes in BHS the other day, and upon asking DD what she thought she announced to the whole shop that they were "a bit Chavtastic Mum!".

DS explaining to his Dad about having his booster jabs, with a very serious and sombre face told him that lady 'put a noodle in his arm and it hurt'
So hard not to laugh!

My dd came into the toilet cubicle with me in Tesco, and asked in a VERY LOUD VOICE to a very busy toilet area "Mummy why have you got a hairy bottom?"

Deathly silence from outside the cubicle!
Very tempted to stay in there for 20 minutes to allow it to clear.

my nephew said something similar to my dad about 7yrs ago when he was four...

my dad hadn't had a shave for a few days and was explaining that the hair on his chin was called whiskers and was making my nephew laugh rubbing them against his cheek. My nephew then said grandad very solemly "thats like my mum grandad, she has whiskers on her front bum...."
haha still rib my sister in law about it now.....
the shame infront of everyone in the front room too...teehee

lol how fab its really making me laugh this shame life isnt that innocent when your 34....

this morning dd said
"mummy is it santa or god that lives up in the sky. i just keep getting those two muddled...it is confusing isn't it"

Dd has a new deputy head at her school, so when she came home last week I asked her if she had met him, and what he was like.

"He's nice, Mummy. At first I thought there was something wrong with him, but then I realised he was just Scottish!"

He is actually Irish, btw.

When dh brought some work home and spread it out on the table ds1 took one look at him working and said, "Really dad? Is that all you do all day? Colouring in?!"

DH is a geologist and was carefully filling out a complicated geological cross-section in pretty colours.

Of course I made the mistake of laughing; Ds then piped up, "Dad just does colouring in and you just do reading books?!" (I was a librarian at the time) then he shook his head and walked away in disgust at how easy adults have it. He was about 5 at the time.

So GordontheGopher you can tell your mindee that she/he should be a Geologist

These are really funny.

DS1 when he sneezes always says 'Bless You Me'. It makes me laugh every time

ds1 and dd1 discussing 3d shapes at breakfast.
me: 'do you think you two could explain to dd2 what a 'cuboid' is? that way she would understand what you are talking about - it's a bit unfair that she can't join in...'
dd2 (3)tetchily: i do know what a 'cuboid' is.
me: 'really? reeeaaaaly?'

ds (3.9) over the last couple of days:
Mummy, why isn't that spider falling off the wall?
Mummy, why is a snail?
Mummy, when I'm bigger I'm going to have whiskies like Daddy (think he meant whiskers but either could be right)

In a lift in front of a (quite obvious) transexual man, 'mummy why is that man wearing a dress' and then 'he looks like a man but he's got boobies!' oh the shame!

My DS once commented on milk being cow wee.

my 2 year old DD was on the train with doll and started to 'feed' her baby on her belly button? And said to the woman in next row, 'pumping!'

In the doctors waiting room we sat next to a girl with loads of piercings.
DS2 says "Mummy why does that lady have nails in her face?"

My nearly 2 year old DS kept pointing to some Asian parents at the playground and shouting "Sontaren" (a kind of Dr Who monster). I could understand it more if we lived somewhere remote but we live in one of the most diverse cities in the country.

DD (age 5)
'Mummy, stop going on about Daddy's burnt ears. You wear too much make up and we don't all go on about it.'
