My Granddaughter, when she was 5.

Why is your hair orange?

Why is your face always red?

why have you got angry eyebrows?

Best of all, why are your teeth upside down, (just to point out, they are my own teeth)?

Thanks, (****) really feel better about myself now. :rotfl:

Any little gems from your lot?

    "That's your angry jumper"
    It was just a jumper, my favourite jumper which I wore a lot but apparently I was always angry when I wore it.....

    My dad asked my niece if she chased after the boys at school and kissed them to which she replied "grandad don't put those thoughts into my tiny little mind"
    Cracked me up!

    I was asked if dinosaurs were around when I was a little girl!
    The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.

    5 year old fascinated by compass.

    Dad explained all compasses pointed to the the North Pole.

    Then all the compasses point to Santa. He must be the most important person in the world.



    It was dad's birthday

    Dad, what number are you?

    I am 42.

    So you will be 43 next birthday?

    Yes, that's right.

    Will you need a stick walker?


    What are you doing ?

    I am throwing our old medicines. See, here is one dated 2014.

    Was that when dinosaurs were around?

    No, they were long before that.

    2011 then?

    GDS about my arms 'Why does your skin hung down from your bones?'


    The irony is that his other grandmother is so fat it's impossible to detect any bones.

    My grandson has developed a thing about people being old. (He's 4). When I went to get my friend to go shopping, she took a while to come out to the car, and I wondered idly where she was.
    "Oh, she's old, she's probably dead!" came a little voice from the back.
    And she's not that old!

    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.
    I think this job really needs
    a much bigger hammer.
