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.....

My dd has just told me she needs a cup because she can see some people with cups and she wants one too. Fair enough I think and ask her where are the people she can see.
"You know that place you go to before you die?"
Erm - no idea what she is talking about then it dawns on me - we have an Old People's Home over our back fence. No idea where she has got the idea from that it's the place you go to before you die. DH denies all knowledge of saying that to her. Might have to have a word with the grandparents...

Christie pmsl about bottom coughs! ds1 used to call them poo burps!

Dd 2 years old- on observing sister in law's puppy doing a runny poo - "Ooh look Mummy, there's chocolate inside!"

not my child - but at toddlers the other day discussing harvest - lots of different foods, where did they all come from. Milk - cows, Apples - apple tree, Potatoes - ground etc etc.

Came to butter - and one little girl piped up "BUTTERCUPS"

oh LadyBabo but also [urgh emoticon]

My ys this morning, trying to produce a bowel movement....
Mummy, can't do it, won't come out...I think my poo is having a teaparty

o.k.
no idea where he got that one from

FAQ - have also been told that BUTTERFLIES are made of butter!
Obvious really!

Dh took ds into the gents toilets when we were out for the day yesterday.
Man in next cubicle let out a big fart, ds (5) says "Ooh daddy, that's the noise I make when I am having a great big poo!". Probably would have made me snigger, but the poor man fell deathly silent He didn't reappear out of his cubicle either, must have waited until dh and ds were long gone!!

This thread is great!!
A few weeks ago DS2 (nearly 3) and I were in MAcDonalds and got chatting to the people on the next table.
He announced to them that he was indeed enjoying his lunch of chicken yoghurts!!! (nuggets obviously!!)

My 3yo DD

"Why are we going to a car boot sale? Our car doesn't wear boots!"

DS (3 at the time) came up to me saying "Look I've found an earwack" whilst carefully holding something miniscule in his hands.

I hadn't a clue what he meant until he told me that he'd found it in his ear - I looked closer and it was some earwax.

He had thought that one piece was an earwack and several pieces were earwacks.

My cousin took her 3yo ds into a changing room the other day to try on a swimming costume for her. She had to take her bra off and ds asked her 'mummy what do those buttons do'!!! She said she could here the women next door wetting herself laughing!!

little cousin upset Christmas day was nearly over her little sister (3yrs) pipes up;
"It's alright it's wrestling day tommorrow"

OUtside the caff in the park this afternoon, a radio was playing that Duffy song.
DS: This is Grandad's song, grandad likes it.
Me: Yes, he does, doesn't he.
DS: Is called Percy, Percy.

Lol at wrestling day!

My ds1 when he was younger looked back at some old photos of me and asked "How come you used to be white and now you are black?"

? overuse of fake tan do you think?

Same ds aslso asked me if having a baby was more painful than having you head chopped off.lol

Public toilet in shopping centre in France and I had dd (3) with me and had to change my tampon...
Cue full on dicusson which no amount of chocolate bribery would stop...I stayed in that cubicle for way longer than we needed to...

That'll be discussion...

Tink asked me to scrape her yoghurt pot out for her this morning. So I gave her the last bits and then said "No more" and held it up for her to see. She peered into it like she was looking into the bottom of something really deep, lifted her head so her mouth was level with the pot and said "hellooo" into it! Not sure if she was expecting an echo or someone to answer back.

when ds1 is tired out and about he will tell us all:

'I'm whackered, mummy' which clearly people are misunderstanding from looks we get

Walking past a clothes shop with the mannequins half-assembled clearly being prepared for new stock.

dd1 (4) 'Oooh, LOOK, mummy, you can get your head cut off in that shop'.

V cute, TinkerBellesMum!
My dd (2) is currently v keen on saying 'excuse me' to everyone/thing in her way. Yesterday she said 'excuse me, tiny leaf'.

lol at tiny leaf!

My DD also says "thank you" to the cashpoint machine through the hole the money comes out - she obviously thinks there's somebody in there giving out the money!

My 4 year old nephew went to school for the first time (lives in USA) and DP phoned him to ask about it.

DP "what did you learn at school today"
after long pause and a sigh....
Nephew "I've learned a lot about myself"
