Cute things children say

[Deleted User]

I've got one that only happened today, apologies if its a bit too sensitive. I was going to say below the belt, but if you read on you'll see why i can't.

During my time of the month i've always been careful not to do any "changing" in front of the kids, i've usually given DH the heads up or made sure they are busy before going to the loo. Only because I can't be bothered to answer any awkward questions yet and i feel its a on a need to know basis...........they don't need to know yet.

So this morning i disappear to the loo (our ensuite) which isnt as safe as you might assume. The door is nearly always open and the kids wander in and out unless told otherwise

I'm in mid "transfer" and i hear little feet approaching, i try to speed things up so i can use the bin. But then I hear a voice say

"why have you got rubbish in your bottom?"....

thinking quick i say

"i havne't I just had a wee and wiped myself whilst i had rubbish in my hand to go in the bin".

I place "the rubbish" in the bin and pretend nothing is happening, I am about to change the subject swiftly when,

" But why have you still got rubbish in your bottom".

Cue her exit and breakfast suddenly seems very appealing.

Give me a few years, but at 4, she just does not need to know.

I haven't even had ANY baby questions yet from either of them, despite multiple friends having their 2nd/3rds.

Son, aged 3 in a florists " Look Mummy, fu!!*rs" ! Don't know why he couldn't pronounce "flowers" I used to dread going anywhere near flowers for a while ! My naughty SIL used to show him pictures of flowers to make him say it !

My daughter, similar age " Mummy where's my chicken down" ? Meaning dressing gown !
Also, "i need my swimming cosinsume"

Where do they get these from ?

My middle daughter, when she was about 3 was interested in animals etc, I said "where does milk come from?" Els said "cows", I then asked "where does wool come from?" Els..."sheep" You get the drift...
Eventually i said "where do carrots come from?" She proudly replied "Thats easy mum, Rabbits!!!"
Cracked me right up x

When my son was 3 he asked me why the clouds were crying?

My daughter (9) shouted up the stairs to me the other day "Mum, the drug mans at the door!" First thought through my mind - Didn't know I had a drug dealer, strange. Second thought was how on earth would she know what a drug dealer was anyway? Third thought was, better go see what on earth is going on.
On the way downstairs, I was really confused, and a little worried. Went to the front door, to find the pharmacist on the door step with the meds that I had been waiting for for my son. What a relief!
Note to self - stop telling 6 year old son it's time for drugs.

My three year old DD and I went to the zoo resently. She was looking forward to seeing the meercats the most. However when we got to them she looked at me and said in a dissapointed voice "Mummy, why aren't they saying simples?" So cute.

I used to work for British Gas. DD at age 2 pronounced it "big gash" which got some startled looks from eavesdroppers!

She also called double- decker buses "duggle duggle" buses, until she learned the real name and called them "duggle duggle deckers".

I remember being round a friends house a few years ago, when her 8 year old daughter came in from school (with her dad). She looked like she'd been crying. "What's wrong?", her mum asked. *sniff* *sniff*... "I've lost my marbles!!!", she wailed, unable to understand why the whole room had erupted into hysterical laughter...

What a great thread - have been crying with laughter!!!

So, my gadson was about 5 I think when we were shopping in Mr T's. A very tall man was stodd next to us selecting apples and Tom was giving him a real funny look.

Tom (tugging at my shirt) - look, look, look
Me - darling what's the matter
Tom (pointing at the tall man and shouting in a very excited voice)- that man is so tall he's grown through his hair:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

On inspection I did indead notice that the very tall man next to us was bald on top with just a rim of hair around the edges. I wanted to die. The man however thought this was a great way to explain his baldness.

We had recently got a puppy who kept, well how to say, trying to have his way with my DDs teddies.

Well I was sitting in the front room when my DD aged 7 came in and straight out said 'does Daddy hump you mummy, to make babies'. My DS had tried to give her an explanation of what the puppy was doing!
