My darling little 3 year old grandson visited today. He proceeded to rummage in the pocket of his jeans, produced scraps of paper ripped to shreds and proudly announced me it was a drawing for me.

I said how lovely it was...but why, I asked him, was it ripped up?

"It was too big to fit in my pocket," he explained as if he was talking to the village idiot. "So I made it into smaller bits so it would fit in":rotfl:

I really did laugh!

    My grandson, 2 & 1/2, must be following in my footsteps with literary quotes.

    He told us that he is 'the biggest boy you've ever seen'. Our Rice Krispie cakes were issued with demo on how he 'stirred and stirred and stirred'.

    As they live in the USA, I don't know when I've have any more little things from him and baby brother.

    I just visited a friend to see her lovely grandchildren. We had a discussion on D's birthday, coming soon.

    He said that although he was four, he hadn't been one!

    Of course, he couldn't remember that!

    My granddaughter, then a 3 year old tiny, blonde, blue-eyed little doll, had been naughty and her daddy, all 6' 4" of him stood over her where she sat on the sofa. He told her that what she had done was very naughty, she was never to do it again, etc etc. She looked up at him wide eyed and said calmly 'Have you quite finished?'. Exit father trembling with laughter!

    A friend of mine and I were in a hall, next to a stage, speaking, when her very bright and articulate 3 year old tried to interrupt. My friend told her to wait until we'd finished talking - so the daughter walked off and climbed onto the stage. She came over to us, placed her hands around her mum's cheeks to turn her face to hers, looked in her eyes and said "No. I *need* you to listen to me."
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".

    My daughter was playing with her wee pal the other day and put a clothes peg on a shoe, I asked what's that? she replied it's a microphone I said it's not a very good microphone (in a nice way, she's 9 & could improvise with better stuff) straight off the bat she replied "Budget cut's" made me giggle.
    Booo!!!

    We were babysitting our 4 year old niece, who rushed into the kitchen telling us to come quickly as Sooty (her cat) was causing ''haddock'' in the conservatory. The susbstitution of 'haddock' for havoc, really made us smile :)

    Sitting in the cafe with my 4 yr old neice we were playing 'eye spy'.

    I spy with my little eye something begginig with B she said.

    10 mins later after the usual 'bread' 'bacon' 'bulb' she offered a clue. 'Its on the table!' so we tried butter.

    Finally out of sheer frustration we said we had to give us.

    Looking at us as if we were completly she useless she announced-

    Duh, its the binegar!

    I remember asking my niece (about 6), what she would like to do when grown-up. She replied by saying, ''a Kylie Minogue Nurse'' lol.
