Share with Bassetts Vitamins the things your DC have said that were beyond their years - chance to win £300 NOW CLOSED

[AnnMumsnet]

The team at Bassetts Vitamins are celebrating the re-launch of their range of vitamins for little ones, bigger ones and sort of in-betweeny ones and would love to hear the things your children have said that were beyond their years which made you smile.

They say "our products are delicious, fruity and tailored to every stage to support families every day, because we believe that every moment of family life counts".

So please share on this thread the nuggets your child has piped up with - the kind of thing you'd expect from a grown-up rather than a small child. If they said them at a particularly inopportune moment, all the better!

Add your comment to the thread and you'll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for John Lewis.

Thanks and good luck

Background, we're atheist and DS (5) has been learning about different religions in school and now believes in god. He asked why we didn't believe in God, we said that we believe in the big bang theory - although he could believe in anything he wanted.

DS then came up with a question that completely had me speechless with no answer - couldn't the big bang have made God, then he made the earth? Had to put my hands up and say no one really knows, and I don't think there will ever be a definite answer.

Very deep conversation for scooter run to school, normally minecraft driving me potty :)

All sorts of backseat driving. Mummy, mind that man. Mummy, if you drive too fast the police will come and tell you off. My driving is fine btw. DC are under 5!

DN had been playing up and must have known I was about to tell him off so came out with "I know I'm being naughty but I'm very tired today" to justify his behaviour.

My son aged 6 at the time said mummy just because it's on special offer (at the supermarket ), it doesn't mean you need to buy it ....

My DD aged about 6 at the time, on a crowded bus full of pensioners. "Please don't lock me in the cupboard at home, mummy." I swear every head swivelled towards me. We don't even have a cupboard with a lock.

7yo DS at a squeaky door in a shop "that needs some WD40".

A neighbours child aged 7 told me a few days ago that Jeremy Corbyn was like a 'breath of fresh air' for the Labour party!

I came home from watching a football match and my 4yr old daughter ran to greet me as I came through the door and asked
"Well daddy, did you give the referee a piece of your mind?"
Actually, laughed out loud at that one.

My DS (5) stood at the bottom of a 3m diving platform looked at me and said Mum I am going to face my fears walked up the steps and jumped off!

My DD has always been wise beyond her years. When she was about 4, I asked how many children she wanted.

"I'm not having any children, because all they do is cry and poo, and then you end up hating them"

I asked where she had got that from, as I certainly never hated her.

"well of course you don't, I'm amazing!"

"I'm so disappointed in you Mummy!" I looked around in surprise and my 5 yr old went on to say "You didn't tidy the kitchen after you made tea" - really! I must complain all the time!

when my son theo was about six he told me that he was always going to look after me forever and would never leave me and live at home forever..

When my 3 year old says hello mummy darling did you have a good day at work?!

'I think your underlying assumption is flawed' aged 5 (I didn't know whether to be proud or embarrassed!)

OMG, my son has Aspergers. Where do I start! One of his favourite words as a very young toddler was cataclysmic!

"I don't think that is suitable" about a tv programme.

My 5 year old said " I'll give the baby his story. You look tired"

My little DC said very authoritively 'mum, you must think before you speak!' That told me.

Dd declared "I've been up half the night. Don't speak to me until I have had my coffee!". She is 9. (It's decaf)

When my son was 4 he was looking out of the car window at night and told me 'the moon is riding high tonight'

He's shown no further signs of being poetic since then.

Mummy, are you an alcoholic, when I was having ONE glass of wine a night, in the week following the death of my Dad

Our DS who is 6 is always looking out for his little brother (17 months) and sounds like a grown up when telling him why he shouldn't be doing something, its very cute to watch and makes him sound like he has a lifetime of experience of these situations.

Mine's not what a family member said but many years ago I was at London Zoo in the Monkey House. One of the monkeys was doing something rather naughty to himself as monkeys are apt to do & a child next to me who was around 5 years of age said in a very posh & knowledgeable voice 'Look Mummy, it's a little bit like a penis'.

My three-year-old was sitting at his little table one morning and tapped the end of the table, pointed at the opposite chair and said, "Sit down, mommy. We need to have a little chit-chat."

my son once said after a long week at school "i cant wait to retire, this is a hard life"
