We have just had a wonderful few days with Ds ,Dil and 3 lovely Gc,
We live in Yorkshire they live in Essex so visits not that often but always delightful.
After first night sleeping in their cabin Grandad went indoors and the two youngest arrived to see if I was awake ,bounced on the bed and dived in for hugs.
Gs age 8 says,"shall I tell you a fact Grandma"? To which I thought, here goes with some 8 year old wisdom.
"Your boobs make lovely cushions" was his remark, " they're great to cuddle up to".
Well there was no answer to that just howls of laughter.
Anyone else's loved little ones made you laugh these holidays?

Friend and her 3yr old daughter staying the night with me and my 4 yr old son. Kids shared a bed. In the morning my son was teasing her. Little girl said "He was being nice to me in bed last night, now he's being horrible to me". My friend said "That's what men are like".

3) Discussing Guides and brownies... “ No Joseph you won’t go to brownies because you are a boy, you will go to cubs and then on to scabs! ( meaning scouts) grin

DGD age 8 asked us at Christmas if we could play Scramble. Took us a while to work out she meant Scrabble!

Gd & I were making Christmas cards & glitter was everywhere! As we tidied up I said to her, Oh P you have glitter on your nose to which she replied, Oh Mamaw you’ve got glitter in your whiskers! Needless to say I’ve tried to be whisker free since!

My DGS was just 3 and eating his supper.
DIL said ‘eat up your carrots, darling and then you’ll be able to see in the dark.’
DGS contemplated for a while. ‘Or I could just get a torch,’ he replied, very reasonably I thought.

My four year old went to the Zoo with her dad but the elephant pavilion was empty. Suddenly a small animal raced across the grass and her dad said what was that ? To which she replied a pavvy lion I think ?.

DD1, aged 10 wad studying WW2 at school. She wanted to ask her DGM about her wartime memories. We rang, and she asked "Grandma, were you evaporated?" She didn't understand why we were laughing.

My Grandson aged 4, quite used to seeing his parents wandering about nude, suddenly noticed his Mum didn't have a "willy". Horrified he said to his Dad, "we must buy her one Daddy". Struggling to keep a straight face, his Mum said, but where would we buy one? Answer...."in Milton Keynes next to the Teddy Bear shop". He's 24 now, but when we wonder where to buy anything.....its a standard answer!

When my adult son was about 6 he had to write a sentence in his school book and draw a picture to match. The sentence said “I like to ride my hores “ I was so glad the picture was of him on his horse.

My 4 yo GS loves to play with my stripes- he says they are so soft - he is talking about the wrinkles on my arms! grin my GD gently patted the top of my arm and said ‘ fly little wings, fly’ wink

My grandson’s first appearance in a nativity play, had to say ‘Bethlehem is full’, but he insisted it was ‘lovely hen is full’.

My 6-year-old grandson asked if I had a spade to dig up Chunk & Squeak who are buried in the garden. Rather shocked I asked why? Apparently after visiting a dinosaur museum he thought cat skeletons would be very interesting.

Similar story with my DD and GD my eldest DD is rather well endowed in that department and all 3 girls say to her you give the best cuddles Aunty as your all soft and squidgy.

Years ago my DD, aged about 8, said "Mummy, are we Catholics or Prostitutes?" confused

My son in law got a question right in a Xmas game we were all playing. My 5 year old son said to him - 'well done nanny's big boy'!! It's what I say to my grandson. He didn't get why we were laughing so much.

Out with OH and GS some time ago, I left them at a table,and went off to get coffee and a sandwich for us all. In my absence, man to man, GS (aged about four) thought he would start a conversation with OH about penises.... OH was of course, completely kerflummoxed!

We had a sandcastle building completion. Myself and GS against DH and GD. Every time DH found something interesting he stopped to show them. GD aged 4 said, very sternly, “grandpa, less showing more digging”.

Talking of first words: our 2yr old DGD on seeing her daddy in his kilt ready to go out, she looked thrilled and said "Daddy's dress! Mummy see daddy's dress!"

Having taken my son then six,with me to my dentist while I had a check up, in an ongoing battle to acclimatise him to regular visits, I was asked by the dentist if I had any problems.
To which my son piped up "well, she's struggling to lose a bit of weight ".

All that warms my heart. My only grandchild will be one year old next month and I can't wait to hear all he has to say!

Daisyboots Mon 30-Dec-19 19:51:20

Not this year but some years ago one of my grandsons then aged 5 had the part of Joseph and had several sentences to say in the school nativity play. Afterwards my son said " well done F you played your part very well" F's reply was "thank you Daddy and you clapped very well". Bless him.
