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

DC retelling something that their friend had told them at school
'Friend says that everyone's bits and bobs are like the houses of Parliament'
'Why's that then?
'Because sometimes they explode!!!!'

This friend is only about 6 years old!!!!
Cue a quick conversation changer!!!

My DD doesn't speak properly yet but the funniest story she 'told' me was using baby signing :).
Me: What noise does a dog make?
DD: (dog sign) woof woof
Me: What noise does a duck make?
DD: (duck sign) quack quack
Me: What noise does Daddy make? [I was expecting a snoring sound]
DD: (flatulence noise)
From the mouth of babes...

We had an old house with bolts at the top and bottom of the doors. Kids realised they wouldn't be tall enough to open the bolts, so were concerned as to what they should do if I died in the night!

Quite happy when I told them to climb out of the downstairs window (very low) and run next door.

I have had an incident recently with my 8 year old daughter. I found out through a mutual friend last week that my daughter had been going to school with a sling - saying she had dislocated her elbow at gymnastics. Evidently she was unable to write and had had one xray and was going to need a second xray. I wrote to the teacher to explain and she replied that, no only had my daughter been playing at having a bad elbow, a few weeks earlier she had evidently missed a day from school when she had taken part in a Swimming Gala in London (she was actually off school)!! Mind you, the teacher also mentioned that my daughter is always talking about having puppies and kittens in the house - this is true as we have nine cats and three dogs of our own and often foster for charities!!

My daughter when she was only 2 and a half asked me why I had eaten a baby when she saw baby move inside my tummy.

Carriecakes80 · 30/03/2015 01:13

My daughter loves to tell this story.

"One day Mummy & Daddy were taking me, Roxy, for a walk when I was a tiny baby, and Daddy started running SOOOOO fast, hit a big rock and I flew out & EXPLODED everywhere! My head fell off and my legs and everything and I was dead, then I was taken to the Doctors and they got me well again."

What actually happened...

One day Mummy and Daddy WERE taking their newborn daughter Roxanna to the woods, Mummy kept annoying Daddy (in a jokey way!) until he'd had enough and he began to chase Mummy (albeit by jogging slowly!) while pushing the pushchair..and hit a stone which made the pushchair judder slightly with baby in it. We told Roxy this story once and ever since this story has been told and retold, with our darling girl adding more every single time, making me and her dad look worse and worse lol.

My youngest daughter went to school telling the teacher....'my mum said there was going to be an apocalypse' ....I had in fact told her there was to be an eclipse!

When our DC was about four, she was at Nanny's house, came running in from the bedroom screaming that there were "wumpies" everywhere, Nanny, freakishly clean with a mania about germs was immediately alarmed, thinking that bedbugs had taken over the world and went into a panic, well, the "wumpies" turned out to be one pence pieces that had fell out of the piggy bank that DC had decided to open and had spilt everywhere! :)

badgermum · 30/03/2015 08:56

My son went out for a day with his grandparents and when he got home told me all about how Nanny had fallen down a hole when a rabbit grabbed her foot then she was stuck there and Grandad had to go to get help, and that my son had to fight off some cows that came over to see what nanny was doing in the hole, then a man came with a horse who was called charley and helped pull Nanny out of the hole, But the Truth was that Nannys foot had gone into a hole for a few seconds but that was about it.

Next door's cat is giving another cat a piggy back !

I overheard my son telling his friend that he'd just been to willy wonkas chocolate factory at the weekend and how amazing it was -- actually we'd been to yorks chocolate story - not quite the same, but hey, he was impressed! I thought it best not to shatter the illusion.

TiggersAngel7774 · 30/03/2015 10:17

DS just started beavers and he came bounding into Nan's afterwards one week. Shouting Nanny, nanny , nanny ive been investigated. Pardon Nanny said ive been investigated Nanny. Who by she asked the Beavers of course nanny. He was trying to say invested but got words muddled

katieskatie82 · 30/03/2015 10:17

My son loves pop music and boy bands and girl bands! He's only 4 and started telling everyone how much he loved One Erection!!! Embarrassed is an understatement!

chriskeenan86 · 30/03/2015 10:39

None yet as he isn't talking yet but after reading through the comments I can't wait to hear what he's going to come out with!

MadMonkeys · 30/03/2015 11:00

DD2's stories are usually funny because of her mixed up words rather than the truth of them. 'Mommy, DD1 has a puppy popper!' (where puppy popper = porcupine puffer fish).

rjsmum11 · 30/03/2015 12:39

my daughter said that she was scared of growing a donkey tail and ears for being naughty, like Pinnochio did.. I am capitalising on that :)

lexiemac13 · 30/03/2015 14:06

My son is very imaginative with his toys and his sister's toys too. I often watch and listen to him chatting away while the toys "talk" to one another. He's 4 years old now but this particular story was last Summer when he was age 3. One day he was walking in and out of the playroom on his toy phone chatting away, then next thing I heard was:

"Oh hi Barbie, it's Ken. Would you like to go and play tennis at the weekend?"

He paused for a moment as if 'Barbie' was talking back to him then shouted: "Well if you don't want to play tennis then I am breaking with you, Barbie!!"

I said to him "Oh don't worry, Bobby. Mummy will play tennis with you."

He said "I'm not Bobby, I'm Ken!"

lexiemac13 · 30/03/2015 14:07

breaking up with you that should have said!

becky004 · 30/03/2015 14:30

When asked what "recycling" meant my DS answered - It's when you pedal backwards on your bike to stop your legs falling off if you're going too fast.

I love listening to DD playing with her toys as there is a constant low monologue accompanying her play.

She likes to spend a lot of time in the mornings telling us about her dreams. The latest one was centred on her ambition to become the Queen. She knows she has to marry Prince George to achieve this (he's only 2.5 years younger than her). I tell her that stranger things have happened Grin. This dream was DD in my wedding dress and tiara (because she wants to wear them for her royal wedding) and having lots of babies whilst playing with dragons (Mike the Knight influence) and having a lovely ride on a horse which then put her gently into bed. I which I had dream like this.

beehummingbird · 30/03/2015 16:50

That he was on the bus and the queen waved at him.

mum25littleones · 30/03/2015 19:30

Having 6 children we are constantly amazed, embarrased or simply in hysterics at what they come out with!

Son 4 came home from school and announced the capital of Ireland was Dumpling! I didnt have the heart to correct him!

Daughter1 said she loved one of our cats over the other so i asked if it was because he was fluffy? She said no mummy its because he has a big heart and loves cuddles! Now that made my heart melt!

Cat1980uk · 30/03/2015 20:36

Trying shoes on in a shoe shop and not being able to get foot in properly. Saying try it with the tongue out and of course out goes the tongue and saying "I still can't do it". She didn't get why I was wetting myself laughing! It was like a scene from a Morecambe and Wise sketch

marshgirl · 30/03/2015 20:42

When our little girl had to write in her school book about the weekend , she came home telling us what she had written.
That weekend , she had been picked up by the Queen on her moped , went to Starbucks for a Hot Chocolate , Went to Asda to get some Tuna and Bread then she was pushed on the swing and joined by her imaginary friend Stacey.
Apart from the Asda shopping and her imaginary friend , as you can guess the rest was from her imagination.
