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

We were at MIL's and MIL was being silly over a spider (but she behaves like a child a lot). Cue world weary sigh from just turned 3yr old dd with 'just calm down everyone and leave it alone. Calm down, did you hear me?'. The quiet authoritarian way she delivered it made me laugh.

When my son started at school, and I read stories to him he would tell me to "read with more expression!"

One day in the summer my DD got herself all dressed up smart and announced she would like to go out for "brunch". She's 7. The sophistication of it all cracked me up!

daddy that's not appropriate bedtime behaviour

My son saw a little bit of the news and I had to explain what 'war' meant.
He said they should all just try to be nice and to grow up.

My oldest son's first word was Square!!! He's now nearly 6 and top of the class in all his subjects!

I was asked around a table of guests by 5 year old "How old were you when you first had sex?" I said "what do you mean?" answer "When you first kissed a boy"! I nearly choked!

My DD (3) reminds me to thank her for anything she gives me, so she can say "you're more than welcome, mummy"

It's a little odd when she's presenting me with a stinking poo in a potty, but still!

my two year old understand the weather forecast and can tell me the weather

After confiscating my sons nintendo at the age of 7, he stated that I could take away his toys but I could never take away his imagination

my baby is too little for words yet but my best mates little boy came out with a wonderful one the other day. He wouldn't stop being mischievous and do what he was told and my friend lost her temper and shouted at him. He sat down in the middle of the floor, lip trembling with tears and said "I just really need a holiday." I know that feeling kid!!

DD asked me for extra sweets at the shop, she is allowed 50p on a Friday after school IF she has done the reading challenge.

I said no because she hadn't completed reading challenge.

Response: mummy, thanks for breaking my life YOU ARE SO UNREASONABLE!!!

She is 7.
I am clearly loving mumsnet!!

So unreasonable... Still makes me chuckle!

Not my child, but my daughter was told by a 8-ish year old boy on his way to school the other day that her Thomas the tank roller skates were 'vanity items'. Amused me and his mum, and left her wondering where he'd learnt that!

PS Bassetts, why have you reduced the number of vitamins in a pack with the rebrand? - seems like a classic smaller pack for the same size scenario.

She's 5 and a couple of months ago she turned round at dinner time and stated..

'I've changed my mind about Hamlets uncle mummy. I think he should go to prison instead of being killed '

I was in a rush to go out somewhere when my daughter was about 5 years old. I shouted upstairs, "Come on, are you ready?". She shouted back, "In a minute, I'm just sorting through my paperwork". It still makes me laugh!

My DD (4) came out of the bathroom, shouting "Daddy! Daddy! Come here. I'm not very impressed with you!" It appears DH had left the toilet seat up.

I was told she was "very disappointed in you" for not playing with Lego with her.

My DC was overheard saying to her friend "you really need to think before you speak".

I was talking to my DM when DD had just turned 2, telling her that life seemed to be one tantrum after another. DD rolled her eyes dramatically and said "I blame the parents!"

DS (2) - 'oh my word' 'goodness me' 'let's have a little talk mummy'

And, looking out of the window quite seriously - 'looks like it's going to rain to me'!

I was with my daughter in debenhams looking at creams at the clarions counter when my daughter turned round and said to me mummy don't you think its better that you save your money rather than waste it all at once !!!

When my son was 2 and a half he told us that the train that had just gone past us as we were in town was going to london and he was right how on earth he knew that I really dont know as we live on the south coast

My mother is currently very poorly and in nursing care. When she was admitted to hospital a few weeks ago, and we were doing the mad dash 300 miles to get there (she was VERY, VERY poorly at that point), my just-that-day-signed-off-from-paediatric-care-27-weeker-now-two-years-old-DS had the following conversation with me:

Me: we're going to hospital because gran is poorly
DS (in very small, sad voice): oh dear

He was only just two. He is not yet meant to be two. He doesn't know about poorly, because other than his ten week stay in NICU, he hasn't ever been poorly. We're not poorly either, so to come out with 'oh dear' was an astonishing show of sympathy!

The other one was when dd was 5.

Have you cleaned your teeth?
Yes mummy
Are you sure?
Yes, mummy, you have trust issues!

My youngest daughter is always saying things beyond her years, while my mum is fed up being in hospital she advised her it would all be worth it in the end.

My daughter always says if she thinks you are telling porkies "" mummy the truth will set you free"" funny she also believes in it and tells the truth.
