    You might want to edit your post. I got a right ticking off for not keeping the board a nice place because I told the story of my daughter repeating something in all innocence that she had been told by one of her classmates.

    Hence why we have nonsense like "winterval" and "baa baa coloured sheep". PC nonsense being taken too far as per usual :mad:

    My daughter told me that we should try doing racist as that is what they do at school. (She has already been upset at a non-PC version of a children's rhyme).


    Turns out she meant races!
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    My daughter stood up in Mother's day assembly and said her "mummy was special because she sings and dances in the kitchen when she cooks the dinner" After the assembly I spoke to her teacher and said how sweet it was. Her teacher replied, "That was her second attempt. Her first one was, "My mummy's special because she doesn't bath and never shaves her legs!"..... I shower and wax!!!
    Nothing is truly lost until your mum can't find it!

    On many occasions my son has started off a question by saying to me "When you were alive, did they have...."

    My daughter is a very avid reader which is great and we definitely encourage this, she will read pretty much everything, cereal packets, books, magazines, posters etc. One day we were on a train heading out of London and she spotted some very unpleasant racist graffiti which she promptly read out at full volume (children only appear to have one volume - maximum) - that made for quite an awkward train journey home as we tried to explain to her that this wasn't nice and the people who wrote it were not nice people.

    My wife and I are both non-smokers and really don't want our kids ever to try smoking. Consequently it's taken quite a lot of training to stop our kids from shouting out "he's going to get cancer" every time we walk past someone who is smoking, because we have explained the risks of smoking to them.

    My parents did this with my younger sister (I was quite a contrary child so didn't work as well with me) and she used to take great delight in exclaiming loudly "urgh a smelly smoker!" each time we passed someone smoking. My parents actually seemed quite proud of this but I had to point out to her that if she kept doing it as she got older eventually she'd get herself in trouble. Thankfully she grew out of it :rotfl:

    I was in a changing room at the swimming baths with my oldest son who would have been about six, he came out with "Why do you always !!!! on me and laugh"? Sit boy, sit!

    After I came out of hospital for a hernia operation "oh I thought you were dead, does that mean I have to go to school now?" He seemed very disappointed!

    My daughter recently told me "I told miss Holly if she brushes of teeth she wont have really stinky breath anymore and she wont cry at the dentist" hoping its not true...
