    Brings to mind the adage: children are like farts - your own are ok but other people's are unpleasant

  • My 4yo has a habit of making stuff up....I'm sure on purpose to embarrass me. There's quite a few 'innocent' funny remarks but the ones I remember most are the rudest!

    She told my SIL that 'mummy kisses daddy's w.illy' (He should be so lucky lol!)

    She told my mum that 'mummy and daddy get drunk and fall over', then demonstrated how we fallover! (I don't even drink in front of her so thats a lie!)

    But the best one was what she told my 20yr niece when she was baby sitting - Something was mentioned about bums (you know what young kids are like for potty humour) and she said 'mummy says it goes in her bum'. When my niece asked her who she says that too she replied 'daddy'! - How do you defend something like that when you know people wont believe you!!! loool

    I love her but I dread to think what she tells the teachers at school if this is what she tells family!

    um, tell her it's wrong to tell lies?
    or do you just laugh at her and think it's cute?

    I'm sorry but I thought this was a thread about funny/weird comments kids make and not judging someone's parenting?

    Of course I've told her it's wrong to tell lies.....doesn't stop what she has said being funny.


    Forgive me if my response is a tad on the defensive side. Considering you don't know me or the fact I was keeping my post in line with the topic of the thread, rather than rambling on about my parenting and discipline skills.

    It's supposed to be a lighthearted thread, funny, weird comments from kids! Lighten up. :)

    Wife made some cheese and salad sandwiches for our daughter when she was around 3 or 4.

    Wife gave her the plate and dd wandered off. A minute later she comes back in to the kitchen, hands behind her back, and says 'Mummy, I want you to say sorry'. Wife, a bit perplexed says 'What for?'. DD says 'For this!', and gives my wife two handfuls of lettuce.

    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!

    Similar to this, I was late collecting my 6 year old from school, he told the teacher I was probably too busy playing computer games!!

    Another that I love - a four year old I bbysit for snuggled up to me and said 'you're so cooooosy'! My lifelong diet habit stopped there!

    My son, when quite young, told me that he knew my password on my computer. When I asked him what it was, he (very seriously) told me 'big black dot, big black dot, big black dot...).


    Yesterday, I called my granddaughter a star. 'No Nanna, I not a star, I a heart shape' - she's three.



    My older son is twenty and has Down's Syndrome. He loves to hug me and call me cosy!
