    Sitting in the cafe with my 4 yr old neice we were playing 'eye spy'.

    I spy with my little eye something begginig with B she said.

    10 mins later after the usual 'bread' 'bacon' 'bulb' she offered a clue. 'Its on the table!' so we tried butter.

    Finally out of sheer frustration we said we had to give us.

    Looking at us as if we were completly she useless she announced-

    Duh, its the binegar!


    rofl - this one reminded me of the time we were in the car off down the caravan for the weekend - and we were playing eye-spy too. It got to DS1s turn and he said something beginning with L. okay.............ten minutes later we gave in and it was 'Lectric'.:)
  • Some great stories here - kids come out with things so innocently.


    One of my children used to call the microwave the 'Michaelwave' - no prizes for guessing his name!


    The same son told me one day that he knew my password on the computer. I was sure that he didn't, so I asked him what it was. His answer? 'Big black dot, big black dot, big black dot...'. He was about five or six at the time.


    My older son has Down's Syndrome and when something is going to happen shortly, he always says it is 'nearly soon'.

    A friend of my grandsons parents had a terrible motorbike accident. When he was better he went to visit them and my little grandson asked 'Did you have a bad accident?' 'Yes I did, very bad, but I'm okay now' said the friend. Full of curiosity the boy asked 'Did you die?' Hmmm....

    When he was about 2 or 3, my cousin was in the garden and my mum had asked his mum if she wanted tea or coffee. He comes down the steps and shouts "tea please!"

    When my son was about 4/5 he came to me telling me that his nob was hurting :eek:

    I asked him to show me where he meant and he pointed to his left knee and said 'my knee nob' lol He's 13 now and we still jokingly call his knee caps his knee nobs :D

    DD3 has come out with some crackers.

    Best one being at just four years old.

    I'm getting a bit fed up with (dd2) can we sell her on ebay?

    One of her nic names is ginger biscuit because of her hair.
    When she got told one day to hurry up walking.
    She replied "can't biscuits don't have legs!"

    She brings so much laughter to our lives I can't imagine how fab she will be in years to come.

    My personal favourite was from a few years back.

    Was out shopping with my cousin and her (then) toddler for new shoes. Her older brother has come along too.


    In the shoe shop she picked the shoes she liked, her mum sat her down and put them on etc. Stood her up and was doing the usual checking to see if they fit. She told her to walk a little then asked her if they hurt.


    The toddler walked over to her brother and kicked him in the shin. He obviously said 'ow!'


    She promptly turned to her mother and said 'Yes, they hurt'.

    My daughter was five when she was invited to a soft play party.It included a meal where they could pick from the usual chicken nuggets and chips, fish fingers and chips etc.

    On arrival, a staff member came over and asked my daughter what she would like to eat. She looked thoughtful for a moment and said polietly "do you have any chicken chausseur?" The "what the hell?" look on the poor womans face was priceless :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....
  • My goddaughter, whilst baking with me one wet afternoon, informed her mother we had used "desicrated coconut"! Bless!
    Everyone has a dark side... apparently mine is called Harold?!? :huh:
