Arrrr! The things kids say...

My dd is 3.5yo and loves Cinderella and dressing up. One day about 6 months ago, she was talking about getting married and I said Mummy (me) and Daddy aren't married yet but one day we will and you will be able to wear a lovely pink bridesmaid dress (her favourite colour!). Then she told me I could wear a green dress (her 2nd favourite colour!!) but I told her I would like to wear a red one (as it's 2nd time around for both me and OH).

Anyway the other day on the way home in the car with my OH she said that Daddy should tell Santa to bring Mummy a red dress so she could get married!! Arrrrr!! It melted my heart when he told me this story... although I think her ulterior motive is that she's fed up with waiting for her bridemaid dress!! :D

Anyone got any cute or funny anecdotes?
You should never call somebody else a nerd or geek because everybody (even YOU !!!) is an
"anorak" about something whether it's trains, computers, football, shoes or celebs :p :rotfl:

    when my cousin was little her uncle went to america and got her a nike air t-shirt, her names ria so she promptly asked her mum being the clever girl she is, how comes her uncle didnt know how to spell her name cos he spelt it the wrong way round. still makes me giggle and shes a teen now!

    her little sister, there was something she did more than said.
    me and my brother both wear glasses and as soon as we'd see her shes take our glasses off and hold them in her hands, she wouldnt let us put them back on again the whole time she was with us. dont think she was scared because even when we were wearing them she'd still come to us and play will us. never knew why, and since shes grown up shes forgotten she used to do it at all so no chance of finding out why

    their cousin (such an adorable little bunch) went away on holiday, i asked him how it was when he came back and he said 'i wanted a truck but mummy wouldnt buy it for me' telling his mum after she said that they were in a shop and he wanted a toy, she said no, so instead of throwing a tantrum like other little kids would, he simply went upto people in the shop telling him how his mummy wouldnt buy him a truck


    why do they have to grow up!!
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    Was shopping with my DD many years ago and was being pestered for a toy, gave her the usual tale that mummy had no money and couldn't afford it. Went into Marks and Sparks and went to pay by cheque, up piped a little voice 'Mummy you said you didn't have any money in your bank'
    Was my face red, fortunately the assistant had kids and knew what I had meant.

  • My niece was being uncharacteristically quiet one day and I asked her what she was doing.

    A great one that makes DS Cringe as he is now 13...

    Tom, aged 4. Im at the sink washing up.

    Tom: Mummy, I know where fairy liquid comes from!
    Me: Where Tom?
    Tom: Volcanoes!!!
    Me: I think you might have got that wrong, why do you think that?
    Tom: It says so in my book!! (runs off to fetch said book)

    5 minutes later he returns with a copy of Aladdin, quoting the line "And the volcano spewed a fiery liquid"
    I was in bits for a good half hour.

    DD also had the following to say a few weeks ago while we were sitting in traffic:

    El: Muuuuuum...
    Me: Yes
    El: You know what they should put on roundabouts?
    Me: No, go on
    El: Monkeys.
    Me: MONKEYS????!!
    El: Yes, they could live in all the plants and trees and it would give you something to look at while you are stuck in traffic!
    Me: Ahh, write to the council and suggest it.
    El: I think I will.
