In 2009 I had a colostomy after bowel problems and was lying in a hospital bed, pipes and tubes hanging out of me. Family came to visit and my youngest dgd had eyes like saucers. I had asked that she not be brought, but we have been so close since the day she was born, that she threw a tantrum and wanted to see granddad.


Some 3 weeks later, managing to get up and about at home when dd and dgd came to see me. dgd snuggled up to me on the settee as usual, then asked with obvious concern, very seriously:


"Granddad, are your pipes alright now?" She was 4 at the time.



13 now, very bright and doing very well in grammar school, but we have retained that closeness. I love all my 4 grandkids and don't play favourites, but she is a special girl.

Had a little tear reading this! Never ceases to amaze me what goes on in their young minds.

My nephew after the first basic sex education talk at school was asked what he had learnt he replied girls have bigger pelmets than boys! Which was translated by his friend to mean pelvis. Everything else had gone over his head

Grandad to our son (4 years old at the time)

"What do you want to be when you grow up"

Cue 20 seconds of intense thought..............

Answer " A dragon" (fire breathing, not dragons den)

A (good) few years ago when my lad was younger, his Grandad told him he was a little star.

His reply, "no I'm not, I don't have pointy bits"

Son (now 27, but about 3 at the time), walking round the house with a cardboard box on his head, like you do. Visitor (childless), trying to communicate with the alien species that is the three-year-old - 'Are you pretending to be a robot?' Reply from three year old - 'No, I'm walking around with a box on my head'.

I loved that! Just the kind of answer that my 19yo dgs gave: he was and remains, severely dyslexic but always spoke his mind exactly as he saw things. Example (at 5, answering an old friend of ours)


"Do you like dogs, J

?"
"Don't know, we haven't got one."

Made me giggle that.

When my son, now 32 (how is that possible when I'm still only 29?!), was young I asked what he wanted to do when he grew up. His reply 'I want to be the man who goes round putting roots on Christmas trees'. Never really found out what was going on his mind at that point!

Some of you might like to know that he did not grow up to be that person

My niece (I think she was 4 at the time) and I were talking about animals and I mentioned something about hibernation. She then turned to me, gasped and said "I didn't know you knew that word! I probably taught you that didn't I?"

When with my sister in law one day, she received a call from my middle nephew's school wondering where she was and why she wasn't there to pick up my nephew. Some confusion had occurred - my SIL thought that he had sports practice that day after school so was going to pick him up later.



On picking him up, the teacher looking after him said that he had mentioned that my SIL had spent the day with me so she was probably drunk and had passed out. Just to say, neither myself or SIL are big drinkers so we have no idea where that came from! He was 6 at the time!
