    One of my neice's (I'll refer to her as Lynsey here, though that isn't her name) has developed a hatred for having her picture taken. Not long ago, my Mum was trying to take a picture of her, and the conversation went like this:

    Grandma: Oh come on Lynsey, Grandma just wants to take a picture of you smiling.
    Lynsey: No! I don't want to!
    Grandma: Oh but Lynsey you are so pretty when you smile!
    Lynsey: No! I don't want to!
    Grandma: But you let me take a lovely picture of you smiling last week.
    Lynsey: Yeah, well, that was a limited edition!

    She was 8 at the time! Had me in stitches.

    Another neice:

    Saturday afternoon at the dinner table.
    My brother: "When you grow up you'll be just like your Mum."
    Neice: "Not exactly Dad. I'm going to be taller and better looking."

    Hahahahahaha. Apparantly, she didn't mean it 'like that'.!

    Probably not so much cute but funny, my dd3 asked the other day what a moron was.....it made me laugh. My kids often say cute things especially dd2 who writes little notes to me to say she "luffs" me and if we go to london do we have to take a plane :rotfl:

  • My monster of a godson said to his mum recently, "you know what mum, your little girl is going to be 12 tomorrow" He's 7! You have no idea what he gets forgiven for :)
    A smile costs little but creates much :)

    My youngest son (about 4 at the time) was convinced that the microwave was called the Michaelwave - guess what his name is :D

    Same son - I was on the computer sorting emails when he was about seven and he said that he knew what my password was. I asked him, thinking that I really must change it (not that I get many interesting emails, but that's besides the point!). His answer - 'Big black dot, big black dot, big black dot...' :rotfl:

    Can remember when Fathers for justice scaled Buckingham Palace, I got home from work to see my then 4Yr old sat in front of the box watching BBC news as Batman stood on a ledge.

    He looked at me and said "Dad, is Batman going to save the Queen?"

    This is going back a many years to when my brother's friend was only 5 years old. He answered the front door to some Jehova's Witnesses, innocently turned to his Mum and said 'Mum, there's a man at the door selling God.'

    So cute....

    I hope I don't offend anyone by posting this, but when my 8 year old son and me were in a birthday card shop he wandered off and started to look at the, shall we say, more risque cards.

    I was over the other side of the shop looking at the nice ones. Suddenly, his voice piped up.

    'Mum, what does masturbation mean?'

    I felt everyone's eyes turn to me.

    I froze on the spot and blushed as red as a pillar box. 'Touching yourself in an intimate way, I think we need to leave' was my lame reply. I couldn't get out fast enough. He's 19 now and funnily enough, I've never let him forget that day.

  • My six year old said something really cute earlier and then regretted it, 'Mummy I'm tired may I go to bed'. Music to my ears and I didn't give him chance to change his mind. He has never been moved up the stairs quicker. He is cuddled up with all his teddies looking gorgeous right now.
