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

My DD said 'oh, I've had such a long day, I need a nice warm cup of tea and to get all snuggley in my blanket and read a lovely book. She's just turned 4!

When in a plane going on holiday, just after listening to the attendants doing their safety blurb about about life-jackets being under the seat etc my son (6 at the time) put his hand up. The attendant came straight over to him and he said "you forgot to say where the parachutes are?" I was hysterical.

believe in yourself mummy He was 3 bought a smile to my face x

I was at college and my daughter age 7 came down stairs and said to daddy "I just thought I would check on you, I know mummy is out tonight but we will just have to muddle through "
She is always coming out with gems like that.

"And don't touch anything you little bugger" opps

Being told to grow up after I giggles at someone in the supermarket passing wind very loudly....my daughter was 6 at the time and tutted as she spoke :) still makes me giggle

I was pottering around yesterday, singing one of my all time favourite songs to myself, when my 4 year old ds said "That was a nice little song, mummy....if you like that sort of thing." Clearly he's going to be the next Simon Cowell.

Don't say bad words that's not nice

My three year old son told me recently, you have a moustache mummy.
Eh thanks, time to look out the tweezers

When asking me what was for tea, I replied that I'd not decided yet.
He said " well you need to plan more Mum, I need to know!!"

When my daughter was 2 she would come out with some crackers. One comment she made that has stayed in my mind is, just before we were due to go on a day out to the seaside, my lovely daughter asked us to double check we had everything with us, when I asked what we needed as I'm sure she hadn't thought of everything, she said the sandcastles of course. She thought we took them with us.

"i'm all in a pickle"

I have enjoyed reading this thread, but at the moment, I cannot think of anything my children have said that would be relevant.

DC1 said that his trousers were too big. DC2 replied "you'll grow into them"

"Mummy, when I'm older... I'm going to get a really good job and be a great mum. I can be both can't I?"

As I went to playfully push my DH whilst winding each other up, my DD said "keep your hands and feet to yourself mummy thats what my teacher says". Can't argue with that!!

When my son was younger I would ask him opinions of things to include his views like 'Should I wear this today?' or 'Shall I cook pasta for lunch?' and his reply would be 'Well mummy, your life is up to you' which i thought was a really strange but adorable answer! I've still no idea where he picked this up from!

My 2.5 year old walked in on dh using the toilet and shouted "Mummy, Daddy has got poo poo pants he needs a clean nappy please".

Had me in stitches!

DS (9) is usually bored to tears shopping with me, recently I decided to use the scanner as I shopped which according to him "is far more efficient really isn't it?"

My DD aged 6 at the time politely reminded me that I needed to press firmer on the pedal to change gear or the car would stop.

DS aged 9 turns to me after I say I'm tired at then end of a long day
'well you ought to take it easy at your age'

Charming

"I'm not cross, I am disappointed with you!" from a toddler who was impatient in waiting for me to finish my lunch!

DD1 (then aged 4) was feeling poorly and my hubby was trying to find out what was wrong - she just keep saying "Mind your business, daddy" over and over! To this day I have no idea where she picked that up from!

My son told me the other day he didn't need to go to school anymore as he had already learnt alot.. ha, he was most disappointed to discover it doesn't quite work like that!

My husband was telling my daughter off for something, she replied "who do you think you are talking to daddy!", she is only 3.5 yrs old, we couldn't help, but laugh!
