Arrrr! The things kids say...

when my neighbours Children were small, the eldest told the youngest one 'father christmas isn't real'

'yes he is, i've seen him outside Iceland' came her reply.

`Mummy is that Father Christmas' said my two year sister really loudly when we were all on the bus going shopping. The bus had stopped outside the local Catholic church and the Mother Superior got on. Red faces all round....
Another time...there we were at our family's `wedding of the year' and my sister being about three with big blue eyes and long blonde hair - like a little angel (yeah right!) was put in the front of all the wedding photos. My mum was so proud until the groom came round at the evening reception with his thumb over my sisters head everytime he turned a page.
Turns out the little sod had pulled faces in every single one! :eek:
And where she was standing you couldn't exactly miss her!
It was a real `get me coat' moment for my poor mother.....:D
(PS: I also `excelled' myself by hiding under the buffet table and scoffing about 10 prawn cocktails, leaving the lettuce and putting the glasses minus prawns back on the table! I'm 35 now but still love prawns lol):D

Reading these threads reminds me of a couple of events from my own childhood:

1) When we were on holiday one year, me and my sister were going to have a donkey ride on the beach. My sister got on first and I said (according to my parents cos I was too young to remember) "why has that donkey got 5 legs?" To which my parents started howling with laughter especially when they spotted that the name on the donkey's harness was Daisy!! :rotfl:

2) We were on a visit to the local zoo. My brother must have been a toddler because he was sitting on my dad's shoulders. We were standing next to the gorillas when my brother said "I know which one is the mummy monkey". My dad asked him what he meant and my brother boomed out from his high perch "It's that one because it's got big boobies like mummy". :eek: Although my parents were laughing their heads off they beat a hasty retreat because they were also very embarrassed. My mum quite often shared a bath with my brother as he was still so young but obviously hadn't realised that he was taking so much notice of her!

My daughter is nearly 16 now - when she was almost 2 she managed to swallow a 5p coin - an x-ray showed it was making it's way through her digestive system - the hospital said nothing to worry about as it would make it's own way out in a few days. I wanted to be sure it was out, but she was out of nappies and had given up the potty in favour of the big loo ... and I'd given the potty away already. The nearest thing I had was an extra large tupperware jug - which we used as an improvised potty until the offending coin reappeared! I sterilised the jug (honest!) carefully and bunged it back into the kitchen cupboard.

A while later I hosted a family barbeque and produced a large quantity of home-made coleslaw - searching around for something suitable to put it in I came across an extra large tupperware jug in the cupboard!!!!

The crystal clear voice of my angelic daughter silenced all conversation as she spotted the jug on the buffet table and made the proud announcement.... "I poo-ed in that jug". Needless to say the homemade coleslaw remained untouched!!!!!!!!!:p

My 4 year old has recently started school ...she came home and asked if she could bring something into school for Sharon Tell ....she said she did not know who she was but everyone had to bring something in for her !!! I cried laughing while I explained what "Show and Tell" was !!!:D

Just thought of another one from my daughter Amber (her of the jug fame!). At the time Toy Story was released she spent days leaping up and down yelling "Buzz Likeyear .... curry and beef" .... she was quite disappointed to find that Mr Lightyear was in fact announcing "I come in peace" ... she always has liked her food!!!!!!

Amazing how the things they say stick with you too ... for the last 14 years my family have been referring to escalators as "scooterlaters" - again, thanks to Amber!!!! And helicopters as "Turleytots"!!!! Daft eh!!!!

When we had a double sink with a waste-disposal in one side, it became forever known as the "rubbishgulper" after my little bro christened it as such...

We were at MIL's house earlier and were talking about everyone's name, we went through my name, daddy's name the rest of the family until we came to nana (MIL).

I asked DS what Nana's was.

Sue he replied, like Chester Zoo :rotfl:

My daughter is six and lives with me and my boyfriend - we have all lived together for over three years. She sees her Dad every week and we all get on with each other fine.

A couple of months ago she was out with her Dad and he asked her if she would like to meet his new girlfriend. She said he wasn't allowed to have a girlfriend.

He asked her why it was okay for me to have a boyfriend but not okay for him to have a girlfiriend.

My daughter was horrified and told him that I didn't have a boyfriend!

He told her that Chris is my boyfriend but she refused to believe him
