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

My dd told her teacher that her mum was really old because she had been present at the Great Fire of London and managed to survive.

I used to double cook & freeze meals then pop them in the microwave when I was a busy working Mum. My young daughter told my unexpected guests I was giving them left overs! Red face for me then!!

hahaha my little one told a whopper, when collecting him from school, the teacher came over and said how well Matt had done that day at school, tellign everyone about our holiday to Australia. I was gob smacked lol, he had told everyone about Sydney harbour bridge and us walking over it, swimming in the great barrier reef and walking up some mountain. The teacher asked if Matt could bring some pictures in of the kangaroos and koala bears. I told the teacher we hadn't been to Australia but to Bangor, lol. Later when we spoke to Matt he said that he hadnt lied he just made up his perfect holiday. KIds eh

The answer to who is going to put her clothes away - the cleaning fairy, though she doesn't come as quickly as the tooth fairy, who comes on that 1st day - the cleaning fairy takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive!

My DS (2.5) has really found his imagination recently!
We've had stories about wasps living in his mouth, him seeing giraffes on the motorway, and dinosaurs eating his socks!

My son was in hospital this week and told the nurse his dad punched his brother in the face and knocked his tooth out!

My daughter is forever mixing stuff up, she told me that her sister had pooed in the changing bag?!?! She had pooed in her nappy and after she had been changed the pooey nappy was in the nappy bag in the changing bag!

my daughter when she was about 6 went on a school trip to pond dip at the local pond. When i picked her up i asked her about her day, she said it was good but somebody in her class had fallen in and drowned!. i was very alarmed and later found out a girl had fallen in but was quickly rescued by the teacher and was just a bit wet for the trip home. My daughter has always had a vivid imagination but we still laugh about that day.

Kentmummy1 · 20/03/2015 13:10

My eldest came home from school (was about 6 at the time) and informed me that a year 6 girl had fallen off a ladder, banged her head so hard that it was hanging off and that she had bones sticking out of her arms and legs! Turns out a year 6 girl had fallen off a stepladder and bumped her head but that was as far as it went!

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 20/03/2015 13:26

DD1 told her nana last night that bits of daddy's brains keep falling out and it's probably because he has a hole in his head.

RhinosAreFatUnicorns · 20/03/2015 13:37

Our favourite current story that DD tells is about us going on a journey in the car and picking lots of different animals up on the way. Apparently this morning three pigs were helping me steer - their names were Pinky, Ponky and Punky. And we had elephants, rhinos, giraffes etc in the back seat and boot. Monkeys were riding on the roof and doing poos! Oh and a swan called Darren (we don't know anyone called Darren?!?)

gnomebulb2 · 20/03/2015 16:22

When my son was at primary school he kept coming home with tales of having escaped from school and walked to the park on his own! I was very concerned naturally and spoke to the teachers, who were horrified but assured he that he hadn't. He was very convincing though, and had me quite worried, but I think it was just his imagination running away with him. Or wishful thinking!

WheresTheCoffee · 20/03/2015 19:07

When DS was three, he told the playgroup supervisor that Nanna had pushed him down the stairs! We still have no idea where that one came fromGrin

hbakfam · 20/03/2015 20:01

My then girlfriend's daughter, who was 4 at the time couldn't understand why we were both laughing so after repeatedly ordering us to stop, she said: "Mummy, I need to tell you something very important. You mustn't laugh or you'll turn into a pile of potatoes"!

mrsbunnyw · 20/03/2015 20:21

When my daughter, who is not prone to embellishment, was in reception, she told me that her teacher had spent the day in fancy dress as the Gruffalo. She also told me that the same teacher had swum the channel. In the end I wasn't sure whether to believe it or not so had to ask. The teacher had indeed swum the channel (as part of a team in a relay) but the Gruffalo idea was pure fiction.

Kathderoet · 20/03/2015 20:51

My son always had a vivid imagination, he didn't just have one imaginary friend when he was at nursery, he had a whole tribe of them called the durdadeels. Also when he couldn't be bothered telling me who he played with and what they did at nursery he would say that daleks had exterminated everyone at the start of the session!

flamingtoaster · 20/03/2015 21:40

My DD would tell us the most wonderfully imaginative stories verbally at home but didn't like writing so stories at school tended to be very brief. We encouraged her to, just for one, write one of her lovely stories at school. When we went to parent's evening there was, indeed a much longer story, but she obviously got tired of it as the last sentence read: " During the night they all caught the plague and died."

powerofnow44 · 21/03/2015 02:07

My mum had my two children for the day. When she saw my baby son who was 6 months at the time she said ' Hello handsome'. My 4 year daughter then replied to her ' his name is not handsome, his name is Nyeem..!' loool

When dd was at preschool she worked out for herself that your voice comes out of your ears.

"Oh Mummy you're being silly - you talk with your mouth, but the noise comes out of your ears."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when I put my hands over my ears my talking goes loud and I'm not shouting and my hands trap my talking in my ears and then it is loud even when I'm not shouting."

OinkBalloon · 21/03/2015 08:15

Though I suppose that's not really imagination!

Marg2k8 · 21/03/2015 12:15

When I talked to my son about something I had done whilst "he was in my tummy", he thought I had eaten him!

georgedawes · 21/03/2015 14:03

We were talking about the cat being a kitten and DD said "was that when he was in your tummy?" (clearly she doesn't understand the birds and bees yet!). Made me feel quite queasy!

When my daughter was in playschool she came home one day very upset. After a cuddle and a biscuit she told me that her friend Henry had died. I was mortified and thru a choked voice I said I didn't know Henry had been ill and asked what had happened. She told me he'd had the sniffles on Friday and when they had got to class that day the teacher told them he'd gone to heaven! I was so upset, so much so that my little one was holding my hand and trying to comfort me. I said something about finding out when the funeral was to which my daughter replied it had been that morning and I'd missed it. I was a little confused by this until she told me all the children had been there and some of the staff as well to watch Henry being buried in a hole under the oak tree near the playground! It was only then that I realised it wasn't Henry the little red headed boy from the end of our street that had died, it was Henry the class guinea pig!

When walking to school, my DD used to pretend to be a little girl who had no parents, and I had to play along and say "You can come and live with me!" I used to ask her where she lived etc., and she used to make up some excellent stories about living on her own, doing her own cooking, making her own clothes etc. She was only 5 and used to go into so much detail we both ended up almost believing it!

Miss those days. Sad
