    When my DD said she'd had enough dinner and couldn't fit any more in I said she wouldn't want any pudding then. Quick as a shot she replied 'No it's only my dinner side that's full, my pudding side is still empty'. She always did have an answer for everything!
  • My son when 6 years old was watching me applying my make up and then asked me quite seriously "Mum why are you putting make up on - you alreqdy have a husband?" Priceless that he would think the only reason I would apply make up was to attract a man! :rotfl:
  • I have a 9 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. Was given some advice pre-children that I didn't follow (could kick myself now!) and that was to write down all the things your kids say that make you laugh.

    So far this week (that I can remember):

    Conversation in car between son and daughter:

    Son: Did you know mummy used to have blonde hair?
    Daughter: Yes, so did daddy but it's sort of all gone now!

    Conversation between me and my daughter Tuesday night:

    Daughter: Daddy said you're going to live for another 40 years.
    Me: That would take me to 80. I would like to live until I'm 90!
    Daughter: I want you to live until you're 100 years old.
    Me: But when you get older you sometimes need help to look after yourself though.
    Daughter: Don't worry mummy I'll look after you...pause...but if you need your bum wiping I'll get my husband to do it!

    I took my 4 year old daughter for lunch at the M&S cafe a few days ago. There was another little girl sat at the adjacent table with her family who started to warble one of the songs from the Disney film Frozen. This generated much smiling and many "ah, how sweet" from others sat nearby. Not to be outdone my little "angel" clambered up onto her seat, started jumping up and down and jabbing her finger in the air as she started shouting/singing "Ay, Oh, Let's Go!" at the top of her voice. Yes - she was regaling everyone with the classic punk anthem Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones, whilst doing a pretty good pogo :D. Her Daddy is SERIOUSLY proud of this as a super-annuated punk. Bathtime music this week is The Clash, so we are now getting excerpts of "I fought the law and the law won", with some nice guitar actions thrown in - I wonder how that will go down next time we go out for lunch :cool:

    Just remembered a few months ago I was driving home after picking dd up from school, an ad for organ donation came on the radio which prompted a few questions around death, & she said when I died she wanted me to be buried near where she lived so she could visit me?!? I said I don't think I want to be buried , she looked very shocked a exclaimed "WHAT- You want to go on a cross?" I nearly drove off the road I laughed so much then explained about cremation.
    Booo!!!

    My 5 year old and I were reading the book 'Goodbye Mog' (the one where Mog dies). So, we had a conversation about how Mog was old and when we get old we die. She looked at me and said
    "we'd better get on and write a book called goodbye Grandma then" :)

    This is one from me on my way back from my great-grandma's funeral. I was about 6, and my brother Tom about 4. After driving in silence for a while, I piped up: "Oh well, it'll be you next Granddad. Then you, Grandma, then Mum and then me. Then Tom, you'll be left all on your own." At which point he burst into tears.


    I feel a little cruel now, but it was still hilarious.
