Things children say [smile]

My daughter when much younger came running outside shouting "all the horses have been evaporated". She was watching the start of the Grand National on the TV. Due to a false start all the horses had been eliminated!

When Dgd was about 3, she was helping me look for mozzarella cheese in the supermarket. I was having trouble finding it so she said maybe they don't have mostly yella cheese in this shop .

My DH was doing some diy once which required the use of his jig saw. Our neighbours little boy heard him say to me, “I need to get the jig saw for this”, to which the little boy piped up “I’ve got a jigsaw”.

When my son was about 5 we went on a caravan holiday with a large group of our family. My daughter said she needed the toilet - which was in a separate toilet block some distance away so I grumbled, " not again - you only went a few minutes ago"
My son piped up with "she must have a weak gladys" obviously he meant a weak bladder.
Needless to say it stuck and its still used today even though my son is now 36.
In a café my daughter (who is an extremely fussy eater) was reading the menu and couldn't find anything she would eat. After a few minutes she said "whats Kwitchie"?
It was quiche! She's never lived it down as she was 15 at the time!

My young grandson came running in excitedly from school where they had been celebrating some royal event.
To mv atheist daughter - "Mummy, mummy, you have to believe in God now, because he saved our queen!"
Another time my daughter was trying to explain how to dial 999 in an emergency. Don't worry mummy. No need, if you're ever ill I'll pray for you!

DS, aged around two always asked for grumbled (scrambled) egg, And loved bejjies (strawberries).

Purplepoppies I would love to have heard your explanation.
Rosina you made me laugh out loud.
What a lovely thread. Thank you Bradfordlass72

When my daughter was 5 (she's now 35) she said to my mum 'Grandma, when you were a little girl had the wheel been invented?' My mum was only 54 at the time!!!

Walking my son home from his first day at school, he told me he couldn't believe everyone had ' the same clothes on!' He hadn't really enjoyed it much so I assured him that tomorrow would be different. 'I'm going back?!' he exclaimed.
Just the other day I asked my 3year old GD what she wanted to be when she was older. ' I want to be.....just like you.'

I was once travelling on a coach with my 3 year old daughter when she pointed at the (bald) man in front of us and said loudly "That man's got skin on his head". At a similar age she pointed to a tattoed man and said "That man's been drawing on himself!!"

When my son was about 3 we had a plumber in at our new house doing 'snagging'. As is customary,the plumber had a pencil behind his ear. My son followed him about all day and eventually whispered to me "How does he do his writing like that?"

My son is 45 now but we still call the garden hammock "the Haddock". We used to call having a wee "going for a tinkle" and my mobile hairdresser asked him one day if he was going to have a tinkle on the piano. Very indignantly he said "NO, in the cloakroom !".

Dd , then aged 10, packed bus after school. Rather loud voice... Mum, what's a blow job? Everyone stopped and looked waiting for my answer ? I told her when we got home, in child terms, obviously. She'd heard it from a boy at school ?

I’m giggling away here! Wonderful stuff.

Listening to some pop music one day my serious little DS asked me 'Did they have music like this when you were alive?'
Most of these have made me laugh out loud - thank you everyone!

My one and a bit year old son listening to his Daddy shaving in the bathroom exclaimed "Face hoover!"

Deni1963 we call them 'mimits' too, thanks to DGS. He also combined a hug with a cuddle so we now have 'huggles'. Don't you just love them

I’ve written this one before but it still makes me chuckle. Having complimented my SiL on a delicious meal my 5 year old granddaughter exclaimed ‘yes nanny , my daddy is a good cooker, he’s a better cooker than you’. Love it!

Son no:1 was very put out at the arrival of son no:2. I explained that we’d had another baby so he’d have someone to play with “I’m not playing with him, he’s not even a proper person” ?

Long, long ago I said to my daughter, then aged about 3, that I was just going to 'dive into the toilet'. It took me a few moments to understand the look of horror on her face as she wondered what on earth I was about to do!

8year old grandson : “mummy made us go in the ladies changing room at the pool today as Daddy was working away. We saw 2 bums, 4 lots of boobs but at least we didn’t see any vagina’s “ ?

My friend's children were clamouring for her to buy them treats at the supermarket. She told her 6yr old that he could have the sweetie bar if he could read the ingredients - out loud.
He got down to carnauba wax and his sister said ergh that's car wax!
I love carwax said the boy!

I was practising for our village music hall show, all the usual songs including Waiting at the church. At a special family church service my husband told us to wait in the porch whilst he got the car as it was raining, my daughter looked at me with wide eyes and asked 'Is this the lurch mummy?'

Whilst on a ferry to Sweden my middle daughter then aged 2 looked at the vapour trails left by a plane in the sky and shouted excitedly 'sky pencil' Still known as sky pencils in our family.

When my eldest son was about 7 or 8 he was getting excited about Christmas and decided to write a list of what he was going to have for his Christmas dinner. I wish I'd kept it but can remember the first item was 7 cuttings of'chicky' and it finished with 'one of everything else there is'! We still tease him about it now - he's 47!

My DIL had been giving my 5 year old GS ham sandwiches for his lunch for several days as he wouldn't eat anything else. A couple of weeks ago she told him he didn't need any that day as he would be coming home at lunch time. He said thank goodness I don't have to eat any more of that damned ham!!

Nanny why have you got fur growing up your nose ? Oh dear!
