    Then theres the name written on the wall (oldest child) but she didn't do it (her sisters were under 2 at the time).

    Be careful of this, I had two brothers growing up, and I had smashed my older brothers favourite mug. My mum had recently re-painted the hallway and he wrote "Pinksk8 is the best" in felt tip pen on the freshly painted wall! My mum obviously didnt believe it wasnt me :rotfl:

    I was giggling the supermarket last week when I saw

    baycn

    added onto the bottom of the list in my 4 year old's handwriting.

    She wanted a bacon sandwich apparently :D
    My then 3 yr old was shopping with his Dad. He kept picking up stuff he fancied. Dad said "It's not on the list".
    So when he got to the next item and OH said "it's not on the list" He replied "Yes it is; just there" pointing randomly to the list. Despite being a genius, I'm afraid to say he couldn't read or write then.:D

    I keep all my treasures in a box. I'll have a rummage on a day I need cheering up.:cool:

    I was sorting out my ancient and heaving bookcase a few weeks back, and I found a card that my kid had "made" for me years ago.

    It was a picture of Spiderman and Carnage (!) shooting each other, complete with red felt pen blood splatters coming out of their chests.
    Underneath, he'd written......."happy birthday mum xxxxx"

    Inside was his name and another picture of Spiderman, fighting another baddie, who had yet more blood pouring from his wounds. Along with loads more kisses. (And, inexplicably, a drawing of our cat!)

    I'm sure he meant well! :rotfl:

    This one had me crying with laughter, thanks so much for brightening up my day. :D

    In my memory box is a note my daughter left me when she was little, with a pen, on the kitchen side:

    Dear Mum, you can have this pen because i don't want it and there is no-one else to give it to.

    Aw reading these have brought a smile to my face. :D Makes me wonder if my mum has kept anything fro when i was little..

    ..actually i remember buying her this little ceramic pig with 4 little piggys around it when i was about 10. She was a little miffed by this present and i remember telling her she was the big pig and we (there's me and my 3 siblings) were the little ones. I meant well but in hindsight it may not have come across so well :rotfl:
