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

Last week when my son woke up he told me that he had been up the mountain on his motorbike and there was a fire up there and he burnt his hand and his face, the fire engines came and put the fire out so he came home and went to sleep.
He was obviously having a dream as he's only 3 and doesn't go out on his own.

At my d's parents evening this week, while looking through his literacy book, me dh were very surprised to read his excuse for not handing his homework in.
His reasons were.
On his way home from school he were eating some jelly beans, which then came to life and took his homework! The jellybeans then killed him!ShockShock But luckily he came back to life.Grin Albeit without his homework!!Grin

Recently my daughter was very excited about a forthcoming school trip to the 'valentine museum'. We couldn't work out why they would be taking the kids to such a place or what she could be on about! Turned out when a letter came home a week or so later that the class were off to the Maritime Museum. We did chuckle!

My son told me he wanted to be a burgler when he grows up. I think he was around 5 at the time. Thankfully his ambitions changed somewhat!

i loved it when my son told me the (true) story about someone at his school who, after a whole term of studying SPACE as a topic, asked the teacher (quite seriously) 'where is space anyway?'.

I was once told that "I don't lick my lips any more, cos I really like my lips, and every time you lick them a little bit more falls off and then you won't have any lips anymore!"
So adults you've been warned!!

My son is only 2 but already says funny things. I love when he gets things slightly wrong, eg daddy has wurly hair! It was so funny when he told my husband we had been to Boots but they didn't have any boots! Slight misunderstanding...!

My kids are constantly yelling me that the Avengers go to their school and Thor is the headmaster

My dd was in year 1 at school and had to draw a map of her journey to school. She told me I didn't have to look at it which made me suspicious. Later in the year she brought her work home and the map was amongst it. Apparently after we leave our house we pass the neighbouring pony farm, we cross the road opposite a pink castle and travel along the road until we get to a fun fair! What an interesting journey.

the one that springs to mind is our Daughter telling the teacher (and the rest of the class) that Grandma used to be a a pole dancer........she did Maypole Dancing as a child at school!!!

We noticed that a glass panel on our shed was broken. We couldn't work out what had happened and the glass was on the outside. When we asked our daughter what had happened, she said that maybe a bird had flown into it, and tried to get out of the room before we asked her anything else, but collapsed giggling in a heap on the floor as she said it! Actually her friends had got stuck in the shed and broken the glass to get out!

DD (3) has an amazing imagination and is frequently different animals. She occasionally tells us that she can't do certain things with her horse hooves / bird wings / puppy paws. But she will comply if we can come up with a way for her to do it!

We recently had a night away without the kiddies. My 4 year old son told his pre school teachers that we had gone to Outer Mongolia. Next fact we had gone to London. x

My DS once told me all about a fat man sat in a chair in his room. He described him perfectly - and fearing there was really a man up there I ran up to find an empty room! Turned out he was watching Scooby Doo and trying to tell me about a character

My son is three and his imaginary world must be an amazing place to live - he has a special computer which came from space and knows everything. He uses it to note down when his older sister is naughty. He also has a flock of tiny tiny invisible chicks which need feeding. While I was trying shoes on with him in the M&S clearance section last week we had to feed them imaginary seed and look for the naughty one who had run under the shelves. Other shoppers looked at me like I'd escaped from somewhere.Sometimes there are a million of them and they're very clever as they stand on top of each other to balance on his hand.

When my son was 4 (hes 10 now) he used to tell my sister the story of when he was 13 he went swimming in the sea and a big shark came along and bit his leg off thats why he cant eat his vegetable lol, the things he used to imagine because he didnt like something was hillarious x

Baby was standing against the bottom of the stairs as Mum came down and plopped onto her bottom then wailed to be picked up.
This was translated to big sister's horrified reception teacher as "My baby sister made a horrid noise when Mummy kicked her down the stairs!" :O

ikkle87 · 29/03/2015 12:51

my son has limited speech but one day we had a door to door salesperson knock. I stood talking to him and my son came and held on to my leg then loudly exclaimed mummy pooed stinks so it sounded like id pooed myself when infact he meant he had pooed and needed his nappy changing

My eldest used to be full of tales about our garden polar bear!

balloon66 · 29/03/2015 14:36

my youngest has many imaginary friends that he phones on his imaginary 'hand phone' so he is always asking if Sonic or mario can come to tea and for a sleepover.

DD's standard story is 'Once upon a time a little girl went home. The end.' So that's the beginning and the ended sorted, just needs to learn to do middles before she starts writing at school (she's only 2!)

"Barry Manilow came to our assembly this morning to talk about Christmas." this was at the tail end of November. Turned out to have been the local vicar who looks about the same age and has tight skin like Barry Manilow. He must have seen Barry Manilow on the TV as he is certainly not someone we would ever have talked about at home!

We just learnt that apparently we all flew to Israel in a helicopter

My son's best adventure when young, we went to the zoo, and was convinced that all the animals came from Africa every day, and stayed in their cages to show off to us humans! They then went home at the end of the day.
