    The best one I remember from my daughter was the way she said 'desecrate' for decorate. It amused me a lot to desecrate the house for christmas and birthdays.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    My DS who is almost 5 and i were watching the hailstones tonight and I was explaining what they were.
    He thought I said "hello stones" and kept refering to them as such bless him
  • When my now 20 year old son was only about 4, we were on the bus going into town. The bus was making whooshing noises - the same noises the doors make when they open and close - there was obviously something wrong with it. Finally we pulled over and the driver got on and said to the passengers "I'm sorry but the air pressure's gone". We sat there quietly waiting on a replacement when my son piped up "Mummy, where has the hair dresser gone?". The entire bus was smiling :)

    When my daughter was 2, (I'll call her Emma) she liked to dress herself as she was a very clever girl, helping mummy. She came down all proud one morning nicely dressed but with her shoes on the wrong feet. When I pointed this out, she looked down at her feet, back up at me all confused and said "No, they're Emma's feet!"

    I still chuckle thinking about it!

    A couple of weeks ago my son (7) had to do a project for school on bananas.

    He wanted to do a picture of an 'oogly' banana drinking a banana smoothie. I Jokingly said to him you can't do that as it would be cannibalism, his reply - 'it's ok if the banana is dead'!

    It made me smile!

    my DD told me this one about my grandson when he was about 4.
    he had been given a toy gun with foam bullets and played it with it for a couple of hours then seemed to forget it.
    a couple of days later she was woken up by DG who wanted to know where his 'bo!!ocks' were. she thought 'oh shoot - silly oclock and I am having 'that' conversation'.
    she carefully explained that they were the dangly bits between his legs and they were called 'testicles'.
    he looked at her as if she was mad, then said 'I knew that - now where are the bo!!ocks for my gun'?
  • My youngest DD used to call an umberella and underbrello, always used to make me smile.
    She also used to sing Bar bar black sheep like this.

    We have a border collie called Pippen. The other day my DD age 5 lay on the floor wiggling her bum and said "Hey Pippy, I'm a sheep! Aren't you going to herd me?!". Made us laugh :D
