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.....

rofl- PAGI

Wandering aroung the fruit & veg section ....

DS1 (4) - what are these mummy ?
Me - walnuts darling..
DS1 - what, for your wall ?

cue giggles from all who could overhear.

DD1: "We have a new girl in our class. She's really nice and she speaks that funny English, like Grandad"

New girl is Polish and does not speak English. Not sure what that says for Grandad, who most certainly does!

Oh, oh, just remembered !!!!!

Nanny takes DS1 out for day. Nice bus ride, trip around town. Quick wee before they get on bus to go home.

Very busy toilet and poor Nanny gets in muddle trying to get DS1 (then 3) into cubicle with pram & bags etc etc.

Finally does her hygenic 'hover' wee....

DS1 - nanny you're weeing all over the floor

N - don't be silly DS1

DS1 - nanny, you really are weeing all over the floor

N - DS1 don't be rude it's not funny

DS1 - nanny - you didn't lift the seat up and your wee has gone next door !

N - pass me some tissue - a lot of tissue......

DH: Don't be so literal
DD (2.5): I'm not literal! I'm big!

Oh yeah, and ...

DD1 "We have got gerbils at school mummy and we can write in them whenever we want."

(journals)

and a couple of years back, when our lovely neighbours had just moved in and were doing lots of DIY:

"Mummy, I can hear our neighbours screwing!"

Wouldn't have been so bad, except Mr Neighbour knocked on our door a couple of minutes later to ask to borrow something.

Walking to playgroup with ds (2.4) this morning I pointed out the moon.
He took one look and announced "moon broke" (it was a half moon) and then he asked "daddy fix moon mummy?"

Daddy has had to promise to try and fix it just to shut him up about it lol

Friend's DS (5) was kissed goodbye by her DP's grandma. In the car he said "she may be old, but she can still kiss"

DS (3.8) in church at a Christening of a friends baby. Friends brother doing a reading

DS: who's that mummy?
me: Thats uncle xx darling...
DS: no mummy, it's Jesus....

whole aisle in front of us had shaking shoulders for the rest of the reading.....

DS3 (4)when giving DH a goodnight hug said "ooh Daddy, your face is scratchy...you need to take your fur away!" He regularly asks now if he will have fur like Daddy when he grows up. DH is a bit as he is generally clean-shaven.

Conversation with DS at lunch time
"thank you mummy"
"youre welcome"
"no me not welcome me ds"
tried to explain but lost on him ! only 2.9 ! got very insistent that he was not welcome !

DS very into Star Wars. Last Christmas I was reading him the Christmas Story, just before lights out...

Me: A long time ago..
DS (interupts): in a galaxy far far away.
Me: No darling, a woman named Mary and her husband Joseph....

Another Star Wars one.. DS and I playing Star Wars (Empire Strikes Back to be precise). I was Luke Skywalker and DS Darth Vader:

Me (quite dramatically) hanging off the bed:
No, No I will not join you.
DS: Luke Luke - I am your father. It is your dentistry ....
Me: No darling, that would be destiny.

Bless.

I am a geologist, so I must be a Chartered colouring-in-er! Cool!

Sat in the car, waiting to turn right with hundreds of cars coming the other way, and no one bothering to let me through, so muttering a bit....

DD (3.5 at the time) pipes up from the back: "They are pillokcs, aren't they Mummy"

Can't think where she got that from
