The things they say!

I had dinner at my parents' last night, with my nephew (9) and niece (4) who are staying with them for a holiday.

I made a cheeky (but clean) remark on the consequences of eating too much beetroot (we were having salad!) and my mum tut-tutted at me.

My niece laughed and said "Naughty Auntie Roo!" and my nephew then turned to my dad and said "This shows that you didn't bring her up properly." My poor parents!

Many years ago when my brother was just four years old, we had a huge family gathering involving a formal meal in a restaurant.
All were seated nicely and the soup course was brought out.
Little bro turned to the waitress and said (in a Lancashire accent) "ave ye got any bread luv?"

My ex was a 6'8", rugby player with the build to match. One day we were in the supermarket and a wee boy came round the corner of the aisle. He stopped in his tracks staring from me to the ex. His mouth dropped open and his eyes popped out of their sockets with wonder. His mother tried to hurry him past us but he just would not stop staring. When they were almost past us he piped up.

"Mummy, Mummy, it's the BFG's son with grown up Sophie". :rotfl::rotfl:

My sister used to cut our dad's hair. She said to her young son that she wanted to cut his hair just like she cut's granddad's. He replied "ok but I don't want the hole in the middle" (meaning the bald spot). It still makes me laugh.

When my son was 4 he handed me a slimy bogey when we were out shopping. I scolded him and said "if you want to blow your nose, please ask me for a tissue" He said "oh its not mine mum, I found it under a chair!"

we were at a christening in a small church and the vicar, as he 'baptised' the baby with water from the font, said' Come on kids, gather round', and one little boy said 'OH God! he isn't going to chuck water on our faces is he?' I think the vicar laughed harder than anyone - the lads parents were mortified.

My dad has a football that my 5 year old is besotted with (don't ask me why) One day he goes up to my father and innocent as anything says "When you die and go to heaven can I have that ball? ................. You're quite old so it won't be long" I genuinely nearly wet myself.

I also remember an occasion (involving my nephews again!) when we were all looking at pics of them and all of us remarked how much my youngest nephew looked like his mum. My eldest nephew then piped up - Ewww you are going to grow up looking like a girl!

A few years back I was introducing the Nativity story to my class and spoke of the baby Jesus. One little boy shot his hand up, a kid who never normally volunteered any ideas or opinions, so I immediately asked him to share with everyone what he wanted to say. He told me I had got the baby's name wrong. So I asked him what he thought his name should be. He sat there with this incredibly proud smile on his face and said Miss XXXX the baby's name was Wayne. Trying to keep a straight face I asked why he thought this. His response was, we were just singing about him in assembly 'A Wayne in a manger'.

Heee, that reminds me of a book I've got upstairs - this one
