Funny things your kids have done...

One of my son's used to say cauliflower as "Olliflower" - we loved the way he said it as he would extend the Olli part!

He also caused us to laugh about how we are taught to say things but they don't always make sense and he came out with his own version brilliantly - we were in the headteacher's office as our son had been attacked by one child and he was asked by the HT to explain what had happened, he came out with

"The black boy, who's actually brown" the whole way through his explanation!

I have not forgotten youngest stumping up the lane from church school after school & unexpectedly declaring "I was born in the year of the Wh*re". As everyone slowed, heads began to turn & eyebrows began to raise, his brother (on whom be peace) corrected him "You mean Year of the Horse, Idiot!"...

Still, I operate on the theory that without at least 5 of That Sort Of Moment (per child) before 18, you are not getting your money's worth out of parenting. It's helped me hang onto my sanity (just) through several splendid Moments.

Many years ago I was trying to get my youngest son to decide what he wanted for lunch and I was getting exasperated as he wouldn't decide between beans or "sucking spaghetti" and he had Nursery School in the afternoon. I asked again in a somewhat cross voice and he replied in all innocence as his speech was a little dodgy but also rather crossly, "alright I'll have the fuc*** asghetti". Difficult to keep a straight face...

To my mother in law: "Nan, what is an interfering busybody?"

When my son was first learning to speak he called me 'Me'...cute you would think but he thought his name was 'You'. It took us forever to work it out!

My grandson is 2 1/2 and speaks quite well, but sometimes you can't quite get what he's saying.

Last week he said something and I asked him again what he said. Still didn't get it so I asked him again. In a big loud voice, he very clearly said 'I'm eating my bogeys!' and he did! And then, also as clear as a bell, said 'yum!'

Not my kids but ...

when we were young my 2 sisters had a fight. To get revenge, the younger one hid a loaf of bread under the older ones pillow.

No idea how this was meant to be 'payback' :S

Hahahahaha! Love this! At least she didn't hide it in the back of the wardrobe. That would have been payback!

I once had a young relative put a pear in the wardrobe when she was visiting for a few days. I am amazed I found it as it was mainly used for long term storage but I must have been looking for something in there, thank goodness.

She denied she had put it there, but it was only just beginning to disintegrate. She must have had it with her when she came to visit as I don't buy pears. Apparently she also used to hide sandwiches in her wardrobes at home having not wanting to eat them at school.

Also under the bed were lots of sweet wrappers, clearly visible to me - maybe she thought I couldn't see them. I told her she had to sweep them out and put them in the bin as she should have done with the pear.

I do know she was told off once when her sandwiches were found in the outside bin at home, so I guess she must have been worried about the consequences of me finding what she had didn't want.

My 5 year old seems to have her own language. Makes up words for things and we are all supposed to know what she's talking about. Examples are:-

soft cheese = cheese butter
ryvita = brown crackers
crispbread = rectangle crackers

For a long time, she couldn't say my brother's name and just called him Door. Sounds nothing like his name at all.

When my brother was really little I went up to him really closely and said 'wohwawohwawohwawohwa" really fast and he then called me "woah wa" for about a year :rotfl: no idea why that stuck in his brain and he decided it must be my name!

Kids do the funniest things. I wasn't in a laughing mood when I realised my three year old had left the bathroom sink tap running for about three hours after having used the toilet upstairs. And to my horror we're on the meter. How much is that going to be! Not moneysaving at all!
That was after she decided to unplug the laptop lead from the laptop to chew the metal end of it (still plugged in). Why???" Because I wanted to"
I wonder what goes through their head some times!
However, she proudly announced that "my pox is drying up" after a bout of chicken pox

My wife and I were getting ready to go out for a very rare evening together without the kids. I was ready and waiting at the foot of the stairs. My wife appears at the top of the stairs, a shining beacon of beauty in a lovely dress, with hair and make-up done to perfection. Our 3 yo daughter looks up the stairs, sees her and asks "Mummy... what are you going as?".

Apparently I laughed too much.
