The things they say!

My brother, SIL and nephews live abroad and have done for the last 25 years. When my nephews were young, they came to the UK and stayed in a hotel close to my mum. They had booked 2 rooms next to each other with a connecting door so the boys were in one room and bro and SIL in the other with the connecting door open. We met them for lunch one day in the hotel which was full of business people and very quiet...until my middle nephew loudly announced..."daddy, I heard you fart in the night"...poor bro was mortified and rest of us tried not to laugh!

Worse was my nephew's question in a very quiet 'posh' hotel dining room: "What does f..k mean, Daddy?"

Everyone else did hear it ......

DGD1, then 5 years old, was asked which house she liked best when her parents had viewed several. 'I like the one with the cemetery best' she replied. They racked their brains but couldn't think of one near a cemetery, so asked her show them which of all the pieces of paper it was. She immediately pulled it out of the pile and said 'This one'. It was the one with the conservatory. To this day it's still called the cemetery!

I seem to remember my then 8 month old cousin crawling on the floor at Christmas one year and trying to say the f word. He got as far as "fu".:rotfl:

He must have been hearing it at home if that was really what it was

My Granddaughter, when aged 4 was sitting drawing. Her aunt said to her "Oh that's a nice spiral, to which my granddaughter replied, "Actually it's a helix"!!

A job I did when I first started my working life was giving guided tours of a cathedral to school children. We used to spark their interest by showing them unusual things and asking them questions. One of the slightly out-of-the-ordinary things in this cathedral is a small statue of Joan of Arc. On one occasion with a class of primary school children, they were asked "Now, does anyone know who Joan of Arc was?"

A little lad put his hand up and solemnly replied that she was Noah's wife...

I sometimes think that if everyone was as sweet and innocent as young kids the world would be a much friendlier place.

Some years ago my friend was shopping with her young nephew. A woman with dwarfism came into the shop and the boy looked hard, but said nothing.

As they left the shop confided that ' she is an Oompah Loompah.'

Mr great niece had a pretty little dress but was growing out of it. Her Mummy said she would try to alter it so it would last a little longer. Later the LO told her Daddy that Mummy was going to make her dress biggened

when my niece was around 3 or 4 we were in a queue at Tesco and she gestured to the man in the next line to us who had that line of hair around the side of his head that balding men have and told me very loudly to "Look! That man has grown through his hair!!" mortified doesn't cut it! luckily he just laughed!
