things kids say

Waking up during a thunderstorm, DS2, pottered into our bedroom and announced indignantly, 'Man with big drum waked me up.'

My Mum accompanied 3 year old DD2 to the loo. After a while and a bit of a struggle, DD said ' Gaggy, it's too fat to come out'

Friend's little girl brings in potty proudly 'Daddy, I done a sausage!'

Falconbird DGD2 always strips the dollies (old ones that belonged to the DDs, two Tiny Tears and Sindies).

When she goes home I always dress them again!

ladies thank you, keep these little gems coming , they say laughter is the best medicine and each one of these put a huge on my face hope they do for all of gransnetters

On our way out to the playground behind our house DGS1, "Come and play football, Pops. It's OK Granny, there's a bench for you to sit on." Maybe he'd realised how he had worn us out.

I was helping DGD (aged 3) to get ready for bed, when she said "Granny, I've got Pepa Pig on my jamas, and R (sister) has got Cinderella on hers, what do you and Grandad have on yours?"
"What do you think we've got?" I asked.
"Well Grandad must have scary dinosaurs on his, and you've got Hairy McClairy from Donaldson's Dairy on yours"
"Exactly right," I said "How did you guess.

These are so cute!

When eldest did was six she was playing I spy and wanted something beginning with S.

Turned out, when we had exhausted every possibility, the answer was 'smile' because grandpa always smiles a lot.

On another occasion, youngest dd aged three was listening to the song 'Charlie in my darling'. She said quite spontaneously 'grandpa is my darling'.

Their grandpa, my late FIL, who was a lovely man, adored them, and was so thrilled at the compliment!

My 5 yr GDD and I were having a discussion about when she grows up and can drive a car. I said "will you take me out with you" and she said "dont be silly nan, you will be dead by then"....smile

out of the mouths of babes !!

love them all

What a brilliant thread and so funny - when my DD was 3/4 she was sitting at the worktop in the kitchen crayoning when the Charlie Rich record "If you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world" was playing on the radio - after a bit she turned to me and said "Mummy, why is that man looking for me?" I remember it as clear as day and this was 36 years ago! A truly delightful moment

A small boy whom I looked after as a childminder showed me his potty containing a No2. He was reluctant to part with it, asking 'can't eat it, no?'!

My DGS aged 3 told me that he wished he had a huge bum like mine so his trousers wouldn't fall down so much. I think he was trying to be vaguely complimentary and I'm trying to take it that way.
On another occasion, after a lengthy fruitless session on the loo he told me that its no use Gran, the poo must be hiding in my bottom. Tricky!

DGD2 said that Grandad had a big tummy, but my tummy was little.

I do love her so much

My son was small and we were staying at my mums house. She had venetian blinds in the bedroom, closed, so the room was dark. Son walked in just as she flicked the blinds open and the sun streamed in. 'Do it again Nanny!!' he laughed in delight as she alternately opened and closed the slats.
"Mummy Mummy, come quick" he called me.
"Nanny can make up down sunshine!!!"

My DGD, 5, asked her Grandad to marry her.

In Sainsbury's with DGD, 3, choosing a couple of bunches of flowers. 'Can I choose' she asked, and picked up some lovely stocks from a bucket, but there were only three stems in the bunch. 'They're a bit weedy' said I, putting them back, before choosing some other flowers. 'Somebody's done a wee on them?' she shrieked with a look of delight on her face. All the way through checkout and out the doors, her loud questions could be heard by all around us. 'Who did a wee on the flowers, nana? Whyyyyyyyy? Was it a naughty boy?' I must choose my words more carefully

This thread has reminded me of when we used to go and stay with my own grandma out in the country. She used to take us out on long healthy walks, which, being city children we weren't that used to. On one of these walks my brother said "Grandma, give me a cuddle". She bent down and cuddled him. "No, pick me up and cuddle me", which she did...."Now walk a bit!"

My nephew when he was little was so happy when they got a dog- a lovely golden lab called 'Muffin'. One day he was stroking her and he said 'oh Muff, you are covered in dog hairs', lol.

When my GS, 8, was staying last week, I thought we would make some biscuits, so I chose Anzac biscuits and I told him why Australian people named them so - to bring a bit of comfort and cheer to the troops who were fighting in the war. Later on, when we took him home, with some biscuits for mum and dad to sample, I said, "tell mum what they're called". He thought for a bit and said "They're called Andrex biscuits and people in Australia used to send them to the troops who needed something to make them comfortable!"

GD aged 3 was watching me rubbing Bio-oil on a surgical scar and asked what I was doing. I explained that it was to make my wrist better. She frowned and informed me seriously, 'Oil is for cooking.'

After he listened attentively to the story of Snow White (not my favourite, I must admit), my three-year-old grandson took the book across the room to show one of the pictures to his older brother. He carefully pointed out the wicked queen and announced, "Someone needs to put her in the arsehole castle!". None of us has any idea where that came from.

Not a funny one like those above, but this brought tears to my eyes.

GS3 (just 5) decided to give me his Stuart minion, to keep.

'Why have you given me this?' I asked

'Because I love you and you love me'

My DD, aged about 3, had just put her slippers on. I said, "You've got your slippers on the wrong feet". She looked down at her feet with a frown, before looking back at me with a bewildered expression and saying, "But I haven't got any other feet!"

Little A nearly 3 had been playing with her cousin playing with her cousin....

A...no I was crying

ME...why what did you do

A....Emily tried to eat me...
