    'When you are good you go to Heaven, but if you are naughty you get eaten by a monster that's 1/2 crocodile, 1/2 lion and 1/2 hippo and go to Hell. It was in a book called Myths and Legends. What's a myth? I know what a legend is cos I am one'.

    ^^^^^^

    That was my DD last night. However she's 9! I'm not totally sure it still classes as cute, or 'goes into roll your eyes' terrritory. :think:

    My cousin's little boy once told my gran she was his favourite person, she smiled and asked him why to which he replied 'because you can take your teeth out'. Such a cute reason!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    One day I was out with my niece who was little (maybe two and a half or three?) and my mom. My niece hit my mom with a toy (quite intentionally). We had a little chat about how you shouldn't hit people, it isn't nice to hit people because it could hurt them/their feelings, she wouldn't like it if someone hit her etc.

    A little while later, having dropped my mom off, my niece was in her car seat in the back of the car and I'm driving and the following conversation takes place:
    Niece: Auntie, I shouldn't hit people.
    Me: That's right, you shouldn't.
    Niece: It could hurt them.
    Me: Yes it could.
    Niece: I wouldn't like it if someone hit me.
    Me: No, you wouldn't
    Niece: I shouldn't hit people.

    Then about 3 or 4 seconds later:

    Niece: but I'm gonna

    Now this came out of the mouth of a pretty little blond thing with a smile on her face. Not really 'cute' but probably the most memorable conversation I've ever had with a child of that age and it makes me chuckle.

    Just for the record, she's a lot older now and she didn't go on to hit or be violent etc...if she had then I'd probably not chuckle about it now!
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I think ive shared this story before so apologies in advance.

    When my kids were little i used to take them to Sunday school. I would stay for the Sunday service.

    Not many minutes into the surmon i felt a little tug on my arm.

    "I dont like Gods tie" my child whispered looking over at the preacher.

    "God?" I said "What makes you think he's God?" i asked.

    "Well every Sunday morning he stands there when he starts talking he says "This is the word of God". :rotfl:

    Then, same church the embaressment when my son started calling the preacher Daddy. I had to explain that he called all men Daddy as well as calling all women Mummy. The older generation were not amused and i dont think the preacher was impressed either. :o

    Another story... The same child who thought the preacher was God..... Well this was in between husbands. I was waiting at the bus station for the number 9 bus to come home. I'd got the two kids and bags full of shopping. The bus came and i told the kids to get on the bus as i turned to pick up my shopping bags. Paid my fare, settled down to find i'd only got one child. She had got on the wrong bus and i hadnt noticed..... just as the panic set in i noticed a number 13 bus (which goes in a different direction) following behind with his lights flashing. Yes, she had got on the wrong bus. :(

    I'm a bad Mummy :cry:

    My dad likes to remind me (usually in front of a new boyfriend he is meeting for the first time) that I couldn't say the letter v if it started a word - video became wideo for example!
