surnames!

[Numberfour]

i was at my son's school yesterday and starting talking to another little boy. i asked him his name and he said "Ben". A little girl I childmind said that his brother was in her class.

So I asked Ben what his surname was.

"Er..... Ben.... Jamin. Yes. Ben Jamin. That's my surname. Jamin. Ben Jamin"

Well... maybe it is!!!

arf

That reminds me of DS1 explaining to me about the Nativity - Mary and Joe Sniff in the stable

Reminds me of when my DD was 5 and telling her Granny about her new friends at school. She told her about Vicky and Granny said, "that'll be short for Victoria". DD thought for a bit and then said, "there's also Amber, I think that's short for traffic light"

You'd be surprised at how many kids don't know what a surname is. I find if you say "what's your last name?" they understand a bit better.

ROFL!!!!! BALD and FernieB brilliant!!

yes, overmydeadbody, i asked my childminded little one later that day and asked them what their last names were and that worked better.

FernieB, can't stop laughing..... wahahahahahahahahahaha made my day!!!
