Funny things your kids have done...

My 3 darling children are always coming out with, or doing, daft things. One of the strangest yet was when DD was in nursery, and just as we were leaving, proudly announced that she had swapped knickers with her best friend!

Whenever we drove long distance and passed a field of cows and sheep my husband would always say "The cows say Mooooove over, the sheep say Bahlox" you get the picture. My 5yo son said it and when his father tackled him about swearing he said "but it wasn't me Daddy, it was the sheep". I had to leave the room, absolutely priceless.

I took my grandson, aged 6, for a couple of days during the Easter holidays to a Hilton Hotel. Got a good 'money saving' deal.

We were having dinner in the 'posh' restaurant when a loud voice beside me piped up "Granny. There's something you'll really like on the menu. Children eat free if the're staying in the hotel." I could feel the smirks from the surrounding tables. I could have told him that that was one of the reasons we were staying there.

My DD is 27 now but had her own words for things as a toddler that the family now use. For example hodgepig for hedgehog, hinges for knees, and hair is 'blonded up' when it's full of static.

My most embarrassing moment with my son was in line at a supermarket with a toddler level display of DVDs, including Austin Powers. "Mum", he asked in a loud and carrying voice, "What does sh#**ed mean?" The entire queue turned round to hear what I would say. I took the cowards, sorry I mean parent's, way out and told him I'd tell him when we got home!

This thread has made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and a little broody.

my little brother has had some classic moments. when he was young maybe 3 we were teaching him where he was from. his father is from uganda and when you asked him where he was from he would say MY-ganda because he thought the U was possessive.

recently i had asked him to go somewhere with me, when he asked why i told him that i loved him and enjoyed his company and he asked if i could love someone else!

My 6 year old was watching Tom and Jerry yesterday at my parents'. In the episode Spike the dog was trying to build a house but Tom and Jerry kept getting in the way. Tom tried to lasso Jerry but caught Spike instead, he pulled him through the garden like a fish on a line. My son turned round and said "look mummy he's dogging". We were all weak.

In our house, we are not bothered about the children seeing us naked.

However, my Godmother was quite shy about her young daughter seeing her with no clothes on so always covered up.

She was in a shopping centre and was bursting for a pee- so she went into the toilets with her young daughter. She said it was really busy and there was about 10 toilets, almost all full in the ladies.

She whipped down her jeans and her daughter in her loudest voice asked, "Mummy, why have you got fur down there?" She tried to shush her but she just kept repeating, "Mummy, why have you got fur in your knickers?

She said she could hear sniggers from the other cubicles.....!

I think I've said his before in a similar thread but it always makes me giggle.

Years ago I went with my cousin to get her two kids some new shoes. Her son was 7 and her daughter 4. She put some shoes on her daughter and was pressing the front etc to see how they fit. She stood her daughter up and asked if she shoes hurt.

She marched over to her brother and booted him in the shin. He obviously went 'ow' and she turned to her mother and said 'Yes mum, they hurt'. And walked back.

Another favourite.

My best friends mum was going out, she'd had her hair done and got new clothes. She thought she looked lovely (she did!) and happened to pop into my friends on the way out. At which point her three year old grand daughter asked her why she'd come out on her nighty!

Just signed up to tell this story of my little brother. So my little brother is 10 years younger than me so when he was about 3/4ish, I was 13/14 and teaching him the alphabet. Everything is going well until we get to 'w'. Rather than saying 'double-you' he was saying 'double-me'. I tried to explain and say 'no, repeat after me. 'Double-you' ' and he would get really cross and say 'yes! 'Double-me'. His logic made sense and it would (and still does!) send me into a fit of giggles every single time. Fortunately he learnt the letter 'w' and now says it correctly.

He also thought that the world used to be black and white after watching an old black and white film and didn't quite understand that there was colour 'back in those days'

I don't know if they still make them but there used to be shrimp-looking pink sweets. We went on holiday once & I had bought a small pack and managed to convince him I got them out of the ocean (bearing in mind they were still in the plastic bag). He then spent ages looking for his own bag until I told him the truth and gave him my bag of sweets.

He had a headache once (& had recently started school). Then announced that his head hurt because his brain was getting bigger.

He also went to an emergency services day at a local park once with some friends and their parents. When I went to pick him up, he marched me over to an army officer and proudly announced 'This is my sister who likes a man in uniform!' He has apparently overheard me joking with a friend about this and decided to tell everyone. I nodded politely and walked away as fast as possible.

Ah, I could go on with the stories of my little brother!
