The lovely people at Kinder Surprise want to hear about the funny and imaginative stories your DC have told you.

Here’s what they say, “we know kids have the most amazing imaginations and love hearing what they come out with!”

So whether it's a silly incident they've relayed, a comically garbled story they've told you at home-time, or a imaginative retelling of an incident which may not have happened quite how they describe it we’d love to hear your DCs’ stories!

Everyone who posts their DCs’ stories on this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one lucky Mumsnetter will win a £250 Love2Shop voucher!

Thanks and good luck,
MNHQ

I was very concerned when my son told me that Grandma had angina. Apparently they had been baking and using angelica!

The first time I met my step-children, my now husband and I took them to the beach for the day. Que awkward silence in the car for the hour-long drive. I tried my hardest to make conversation with the 3 and 5 year olds but neither of them spoke a word to me... That is until we were pulling into the beach car park and my 3 year old step-daughter shouted loudly "my mummy's got a hairy Mary!" BlushBlushBlushBlush oh what an introduction!! Shock

i remember my daughter having a fascination with tractors when she was 3. we were coming home from work/nursery when she saw a green one. she got excited and told me that Darren (my bf) doesn't drive a tractor but he races them and wins all his races. She was serious and didn't even laugh but i was crying and had painful sides from laughing.

When the midwife was still visiting after the birth of my son she asked my DD where her daddy was. DD promptly replied that he was in the pub and had been there all night as she hadn't seen him. He was, in fact, at work. Honest!! She gave me some very funny looks and on the next visit told me there were places where I could get help. DD was 2 at te time.

My mum once asked my son (6 at the time) "how many children are in your class?"
He thought for a moment & said "22 when we are not all there!"Confused
(clearly thinking back to that mornings registration)

My son convinced his teacher he was half Spanish, we went there on holiday to see family and we even owned a house out there....I wish!

"Once upon a time there was a little boy called Daddy. He went for a walk in the dark forest. Then he met a dragon and the dragon ate him. The End."

  • DDs first attempt at writing a story :-D

DS has an invisible bird and an invisible squirrel that live in his room. They both live in the same invisible bird-house in his room. But they're not friends. They just live together. The squirrel doesn't like the bird. But the bird doesn't know that.

My son when he was 7 overheard me talking to my friend about her labour and she said she struggled to squeeze her baby out, So my son then thought that all babys come out of ours mouths haha

When we were away on holiday my daughter lost her beloved beanie baby dog 'Fetcher' on the first day, she was absolutely devastated so I ordered her a new one to be delivered home for when we got back, and told her fetcher was having his own holiday with his doggy friends like us, which seemed to pacify her. When we got home she was delighted to see the new Fetcher and told him off for going off on holiday and leaving her.
When she returned to nursery school after half term, her teacher asked me after school who fetcher was, and I explained it was her favourite dog toy and she started laughing as My daughter had told her she had gone on holiday with Fetcher, (no mention of us) but left her on the first day and went off with his friends to the Pub, went sunbathing at the beach, swimming and out to restaurants without her! All the things we had Been doing as a family! :)

I remember when DS went on his first holiday (well first holiday that he was old enough to remember), and it was in the Middle East. Because it was really hot, he made up some story about how we all melted and came back to life each night.

My son convinced his teacher that we had been to China over the Summer break, we didn't even leave the country! Smile

On our ride home today my 3 year old started telling me that he saw a pteranodon! Then he told me that I hit a triceratops and finally, when I was driving faster, he said a T-Rex was chasing us.

I think this might be linked to us watching some of Walking With Dinosaurs this morning.

My 8 year old son has recently been caught out sneaking downstairs in the middle of the night for snacks. It got so bad we had to put a motion sensor alarm on the kitchen door, and it suddenly stopped. Well, we had parents evening last night and we were given his books to look through his work. We stumbled upon a diary entry he'd written about his day, it read "I got up early as I was woken up by my brother. So I went downstairs and ate some pizza." His face when we read it (as we hadn't known about this particular incident) was a picture!

BlackeyedSusan · 19/03/2015 21:19

mine told the speech therapist that she had 12 brothers... she has one, though it probably feels like 12

DD (4) is an expert at stalling for more time. Every night at bedtime, she pretends she's a baby who's been found lying in the road. She continues this fantasy for anything between 3 and 30 minutes; sometimes the baby doesn't know who its parents are and sometimes it's escaped from a "mean baby hospital where nobody's allowed to have any fun."

My only worry about this (often fairly tedious) charade is that she'll grow up believing that her fantasy is the true version of her early years!

Was out shopping in the middle of town and my son shouted out "BOMB!!" everyone looked back and was thinking what on Earth is going on here. Then I slowly realized he was looking at a packet of water bombs. Almost as funny as the time he called a potato a 'MO-TAYTO' lol.

pfcpompeysarah · 19/03/2015 21:42

My son knocked over a bag of sugar, he swears blind he didn't but it was all over his hands and feet!!

My daughter came home after her first day at school and told us there were twiglets in her school. She later told us that all three children were born on the same day.

Our stock of Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs appeared to be mysteriously vanishing - within 2 days, 10 eggs had gone down to 3 (only 2x2 had been given out). After initially stating he thought it could be a burglar or possibly a ghost who was taking them, our eldest, 8 years old, suggested that maybe it was his younger brother, aged 5. Younger brother denied any wrong doing.
It came down to the last 3 eggs - each brother received 1 egg, with the final egg left in the box, despite them fighting over it. The younger one received a blue car, the eldest received an orange bin toy with smiley face (i.e. a miniature personified bin). The eldest was visibly disappointed with his toy.
As the evening wore on, TV tuned on in the living room, people in and out of the kitchen, we noticed how the eldest seemed to keep going to the back of the sofa and 'doing' something. Then, suddenly, he let out a huge groan! It turned out he had smuggled the last Kinder egg, was discretely nibbling the chocolate behind the sofa, and upon opening the yellow egg shell which contained the mystery toy, had discovered that he had received .... the SAME ORANGE BIN TOY!
And upon investigation, we find 3 MORE ORANGE BIN TOYS, piled up behind the sofa.

Poetic justice! Wink

The best stories from DS were when he was at pre-school and used to tell the teacher of the amazing things we'd done during the school hols such as trips on a plane, theme parks, feeding elephants etc when we had barely even left the house due to looking after his baby sister!

I was watching frozen with my 2 year old & my friend's 4 year old son - he had seen it MANY times before & was giving me a running commentary throughout! One of the characters appeared on the screen & he pointed him out saying 'That man's a joke' - I was a little surprised at the cynicism of a 4 year old, but accepted it. It was only towards of the end of the film when I realised what he had meant to say was 'that man's a duke' - I did have a chortle to myself! Duke/joke - easily done!

BellaWella86 · 19/03/2015 22:42

My daughter yesterday asked me - "Mummy.... If you get shrinked down by a lazy beam (laser beam??), can you go through someones mouth to get to their heart?"

I have NO IDEA where she got such an idea from!! I didn't know where to begin.

TrollTheRespawnJeremy · 19/03/2015 22:51

My daughters class were learning about the food chain at school.

The teacher asked them "What are burgers made of? Cows.
What is bacon made of? Pigs." Etc etc.

Then my Daughter pipes up "Miss, do you know what the Internet is made of?"

The teacher is puzzled and my daughter replies

"The Internet is made of cats."

It's seemingly gone down in staff room history as 'The Best Answer Ever.'

My DS aged 3 told us: "When I was born, I got stuck so they cut mummy open and I jumped out and gave daddy a big huggie!" I love his version so much.

Whenever I ask my DD aged 2 and a half what she had for lunch at the childminders she always giggles and tells us that they ate one of the other children.
