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.....

spin - ????

DD said "I'm a box of frogs"

She also keeps going on about 'grandma's motions'

We do not have clue what she is talking about!

We visited the farm today and the 2 year old boy I was with proclaimed upon seeing the piglets - din din's followed by yum yum!!

Can't remember how old I was, but it must've been 8 or 9 (very early developer me!) and my mum was explaining about er....front hair....and I though she said they were called....wait for it....

PUBLIC hairs!

Glad she corrected me on that one!

dd1(6) said to dd2(2)on thew subject of dd2 not having to go to school.

"Well make the most of it dd2 while your still young"

Ds (3) asks people who come into the house ie friends or gas meter reader what colour their wee is??!!

He also said this morning while out in public loo "mummy you've got a BIG bottom!""

DD1 (at 4), perfected a very original greeting when meeting my (female) friends, - 'Hello, where's the man who loves you ?'!!!

So I'm doing my Avon deliveries with DS in tow...
DS: I can see bacon in the sky?
Me & Customer: Ooo, really?
DS: And sausages and eggs and beans and tomatoes...
Customer (in brave Being Good with DC manner): Really? And toast, too?
DS: (with withering are-you-mental-or-something scorn) No. That's silly.

'Mummy, mummy, don't I look GRAND in this dress?'

Also rang my mum today to tell her about the weasels we found in the flour ;)

dgs (4) watching tv ads featuring various 8 year old boys

dgs: grandma you can get that for your boy

eh? not sure if he was referring to
his uncle (my ds who is 20) or my boyfriend who is 31

DD (3) - 'Mummy can you buy some more uh um Humphrey Corn?'

Turned out to be her favourite cereal - 'Country Crisp'.

And on a train to visit relatives she announced we were 'going to see our flamery in the crunchyside'

This is a lovely thread

At the zoo with recently potty trained DS (almost 3)

Me (heading towards the loos): Come on

DS: But I don't need to do a wee

Me: I know, but we should probably try anyway

DS (looks at me knowingly and then, in a bog booming voice): Oh. Are you doing a wee in your pants, Mummy?

And often followed by: Are you going to do a poo, Mummy?

Oh dear. Big. not bog

We've had some crackers, such as this conversation:

AIHN: What are you doing? (calling from kitchen)
DS: Watching TV (in living room)
AIHN: That's nice, what are you watching?
DS: Watching porn

Cue AIHN frantically dashing to TV, wondering what the hell DH had on the DVD the night before and inwardly cursing.

DS: Look Mummy - Frog Porn!!!
AIHN: (decidedly relieved - and still married) No, dear, that's Frog SPAWN.

Of course, it never occured to me that a 2.11 yr old would have no concept of porn!

Then there was the time when, in front of all the mums and teachers at school pick up time, he delighted announced:
"I throw sticks"
except at that time, he kept getting 'throw' and 'blow' mixed up and had a habit of pronouncing 'st' as 'd'.
Work it out for yourselves.

I'm so proud

jojostar - that mae me LOL (I also have an unironed tummy.....)

Not quite so cute but I have just said to DS1 (age 6 - he was glued to the telly at the )

Me: Shall I put you goggles in your swimming bag or will you not want them today?
DS1 (still watching telly) er..... rice crispies and a glass of milk please

I knew he was listening......

he wasn't listening obviously

couple of years ago ds1 asking about children going to high school.

ds2, then 4, asks 'where is the high school?'

'over there'

'i cant see it'

'the big buildings with all the older children near it'

'oh that's not high atall. it's just as low as ds1's school'

ds1, 8, last week: 'mum, see when I'm a adult, will I be really hairy like Dad?'

'probably son. Why?'

'Then you better keep the number of that women who does your legs 'cos I am so getting waxed'

dd (4.5) in swimming pool changing room - singing really loudly "Mummy's got big boobies"

DS (2.7) a few weeks ago: 'I love cock'

Turns out he just really likes Gok Wan and has trouble with his hard g's.

putting ds3 (just turned 4)to bed....he was in chatty mode!
Me: Zip it now

Him: I think I lost it

cue cheekey giggle from him....

DD (2.5yrs): "Aunty A what is that thing?" pointing at huge wart on her face that she refuses to do anything about.
Aunty A: "Its a spot"
DD: Looks at it for a minute turns to me "Mummy get scissors and cut it off!"

DD2 (3): Mummy, what would happen if a baby lived with a hedgehog, and then the baby did a poo in its nappy?

Yesterday we went to a village festival and there was a wishing well. DD2 dropped her penny in the wishing well, screwed her eyes tight shut and whispered "I wish a doggy would marry a princess."
