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

In an attempt to entertain our almost 3 year old son on a long drive down to Cornwall, my husband & I began singing along (rather well I might add!) to a Disney CD - our son asked us stop, then asked us again louder - 'Stop singing Mummy & Daddy!' & when we continued (we were both getting into our stride at this point & rather enjoying it!) as we reached a crescendo - our son shouted at the top of his voice 'STOP SINGING CHILDREN!'.
Well, at least he knows how it feels now! ;) x

My 3 year old often sighs and says 'It's been a long day'.

Once she made us laugh so much when she asked daddy: 'Do you like to booze?'

'To booze?' daddy replies.

'Yes to booze' my daughter repeats.

Then she says 'Boo! Boo!' - see 'two boos - you liked it didn't you daddy'.

When driving home my 6 year old son said:

"Mummy boys and boys can get married and girls and girls can get married can't they?"
I replied "yes."
Then he replied "but boys and girls can still get married too."
I replied "yes."
Then he said "Oh well, that is a relief because I am going to marry my best friend Isabella and we will have lots of babies. If we have a boy he will be called Tim and if we have a girl she will be called Keeley."
I replied "That is lovely, but you should probably talk about this to Isabella when you are a bit older and check it is what she wants too."
Then he said "Oh don't worry Mummy, we are not getting married anytime soon. We will get married in a few years. That way you will have had time to buy another bed, because Isabella can't come and live here unless she has her own bed."

My friend asked my son if he enjoyed watching Ice Age, he replied very seriously that he did, "but I felt it was more than mild peril" as we'd read the guidelines on the back of the DVD.

A few years ago when I was home edding my youngest son he asked about races,I explained to the best of my ability that different cultures have different ways and people all over the world have different skin colours and hair textures etc etc and really its what makes us all special and unique and its quite exciting that now that people can travel that where we live (oldham near manchester) we have a diverse community etc and i kid you not this child of mine said sooooooo innocently 'its not really a race thing is it when we all just run together'

My son asks me everyday 'so how was your day then?' and 'what in particular was good/bad?' He's done this since he was about 7 and is the only person who ever asks me sometimes. It completely disarms me usually that someone cares as i'm the one who is supposed to ask that (and do!). It jolts me back to reality when he asks me after I've just had a stressful episode. He just seems wise beyond his years.

I was talking to my son about how he would know who to choose for his girlfriend/wife when he was older - and he said 'well really Mummy, I just want someone I don't have to argue with all the time and someone who will be a really good friend'. How very sweet and how I wish it were true - but I guess he will still be crying on the kitchen floor when his heart gets broken, as we all do at some stage!

Taking dd to an animal park and randomly pointing things out only to be corrected by my four year old telling me why it was an alligator and not a crocodile in great detail.

DH came in from a cycle race where he'd had a bit of a mare, I was being all sympathetic when DS just said "you know Daddy, it's the taking part that counts, and as long as you had fun, it doesn't matter who won."

My 8year old loves the word APPRECIATE and has started to say' Thank you mummy ,I appreciate you making me this food' at the end of EVERY meal..Which isn;t annoying but lovely to feel appreciated even if it is a phase.

My daughter who was 4 at the time told me off for climbing on the shed roof to get the ball down. In a very loud voice she said 'Mummy are you really trying to break your neck or are you just being stupid' I felt a right cloit.

My son talks non-stop and I have to admit I often zone out especially when I'm in the car concentrating on driving. A few weeks ago I was driving with him talking as usual when he suddenly said 'mummy it is very rude when you don't listen to me, I am not very happy with you' ha ha well that told me!

Ds when he was less than 2, very seriously: ' we don't usually eat stickers' when eating a cake with sugar paper topper on.

DS (5) when bored of shopping. "Mummy, you're not shopping, you're just looking at things". Closely followed by "you don't need that, you've got lots already". Somewhat hypocritical given he'd bought his umpteenth Hero Masher in the same trip!

our youngest daughter recently told her much older brother, "its about time you tidied your room, mum isnt your own personal house maid" we can only assume she had heard that from the internet.

I put my son's Sunday roast down in front of him today and he casually said 'Thanks love'. He also downs cups of squash as if they are pints and refers to all of his friends by their first and surnames like he's some kind of Edwardian gent. He's 4.

My 2 year old often says 'across the way' when pointing out something. For example 'There's a sheep across the way'. I'm not sure where he has got it from!

I jokingly asked my 12 yr old dd if she had a boyfriend, to which my 6yr old ds answered "no, she's not allowed one until she's 18".

My son in class discussion aged 6 when asked what he wanted to be when he was older replied a geologist finding rare crystals and diamonds.
When asked why he replied ' because I laugh in the face of danger' with a deadpan face, he had been watching Indiana Jones and probably thought finding crystals involved high speed chases And Indiana Jones type adventures.

My two year said to me 'Mummy, why is it that men have control of the television and all they seem to watch is sport?' ;)

Me: that is the loveliest rainbow painting I have seen

DD age 4y: it is lovely but you think mine is the best because you are my mummy. Other mummies will think their child's painting is the best

My ds at his Grandpa, "You don't really want to do that do you? You'll not get your special treat!" Then to a friend who asked if he wanted to go to play, "Iam afraid not, it's time for tea."

My youngest daughter was telling her uncle and aunt that daddy has Carlene and sandy in the bedroom of an evening, they questioned me about it and I had to explain she meant Carling or a Shandy but god their faces were a picture

My niece said at three, "I need to be alone". :)

My four-year-old son was in the bathroom with the door closed.

I knocked and said, “What’s going on in there?”
His reply: “Nothing, it’s just me and my penis.”
