Funny things your kids have done...

Many years ago we were with a large group of friends chatting and the kids were playing around. One child interrupted his mum and said mum, 'if I called you a f*****g b*****d would you hit me'. As you can imagine we all tried to keep a straight face. Mum casually asked him why he said that. He replied 'mark called his mum one and she hit him over the head with the hoover'.

I sent one of mine in the garden with a watering can with instructions to water the apple tree. Poor thing was trying to water the apples rather than the roots.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I was at my daughter's autism assessment last week and the psychiatrist asked me if she had ever done those things. I sincerely hope she is not autistic, but as someone who has been there I would have liked someone to have pointed that out to me when she was little, it might be worth checking that out.0

When my elder son was 4 and his little brother 3, we were walking along a narrow footpath to school, which was busy with other families. I had the little one by the hand, but my 4yr old ran on, weaving in and out of the other families. I said, "Oh no, he's gone on ahead!", to which my little one replied, "But WHOSE head has he gone on?!"
Jump ahead about three years, and all four in the family were out shopping in the precinct. We'd stopped in front of a store to re-group and plan our next move. As Mum and Dad were talking, and both boys were craning their necks looking up at us, a VERY LOUD little voice was heard to announce, "Wow! I never knew ladies could grow a moustache!" (I deny it!)0 -
I was about 5 when we were driving in the car and my mum sighed and told me "what you need is a little finesse".
Apparently I replied with "why do I need hairspray mum?"
and my 8 year old brother broke into a loud rendition of the then finesse advert song and my mum nearly crashed the car laughing.0 -
When my daughter first started talking she used to pronounce "Frog" as "f***" One day in the packed toy aisle in the supermarket, she caught sight of a musical frog toy and shouted "Mumma, f***!!" To which a few customers started tutting and walking off disgust but even more were in full on giggles. My daughter picked up on the giggles and kept shouting it all the way round the shop!!
From her being little, one of our "things" is that when I cuddle her, I say "aw my lovely baby girl". One time her response was "aw my lovely chubby mummy"
More recently, I had been explaining the meaning of miniscule as it was in a book she was reading. She disagreed that it meant very small as "Minis (the cars) are not tiny mummy" she now says tinyscule instead.
Last night she was playing on her 3DS when our cat walked over and rubbed her face on the corner of it. To which my daughter said " Urgh, Maisie that's horrid! It's covered in cat snot now!"0 -
My son was about 3 when he wandered in when I was showering, pointed at my boobs and asked "Mummy, what are those things on your tummy?" I hoisted them up, said "they aren't on my tummy, they're on my chest and they are called breasts." He gave me a withering look, said "no they're not." I assured him that that was what they were called but he wasn't having it - informing me that "chickens have breasts - not people."0

When my brother was about 9 and I was a teenager I had a friend over. He sat down in front of us and asked 'is that your friend?' I answered yes, he looked her, turned to me and just said 'she's ugly'
He was so calm and matter of fact about it, it was so hard not to crack up. It also made me feel a bit better as she was very popular with the boys and I couldn't always work out why.0
