Children are quick. Comical sayings of children.

Jenni123 Hilarious!

One of my grandsons got a castle and soldiers for Christmas when he was small. He told us about one particularly special figure who was, apparently, a “Shite in knighting armour” 🤣

When my youngest daughter was about 4, we had an au pair as OH was away a lot. She suffered badly with her menstrual cycle. On returning from my day job, I was greeted with toys everywhere and asked 4yo to please pick up her Lego... She lay on the sofa, back of her hand to her forehead and announced in a martyred way "I can't, I'm having my period".

This was the child who a few years later, in all innocence, would go on sing that famous Mike Oldfield classic "In Fallopian Tubilo"!

We had a cat when my daughter was learning to talk, so an early word was 'ca'. We went to West Midlands safari park and had the pronouncement that the lions etc. were 'ca' - fair enough. Then we saw a hippo, my daughter stared at this strange creature and we finally got the pronouncement 'ca'!
The same daughter a couple of years later said very solemnly. 'Mummy, there are two sorts of pardons aren't there? The ones that come out of your mouth and the smelly ones that come out of your bottie'. Needless to say that sort have been called 'smelly pardons' ever since.

I have had sheep for many years and one day when my daughter was young we were about to go and round some up and she asked whether I had remembered the purdles.I was baffled what purdles are and asked her what she meant and she said sheepurdles (sheep hurdles) and it all became clear.

Love this post. It reminded me of many of my three children and the funny things they said or did. My three year old Daughter sitting with my Mum, were waiting for me to get back from my neighbour, we needed to get to the bus stop and my Mum said out loud, if your Mummy doesn’t hurry up…..my three year old completes sentence with, we will miss the bl…y bus! Apparently my Mum casually said yes we will!

They were all brilliant. I laughed out loud

The scene is the school dining hall:

Child: Can I have custard?
Me: And the magic word is?
Child (thoughtfully: Bon Appetit?

or 'announced'....can spell can't type.

Asking a class of children what they wanted to achieve when they grew up the usual nurse/doctor/spaceman answers were forthcoming; apart from Alex who annonced that his aim was 'to get the highest level of benefit'.

Son was under Three when sitting at dining table said to my step mother - “ sometimes mummy says sugar and sometimes she says sh.. and sometimes she says sugar and sh..” I was mortified. Hadn’t realised he was listening.

When my son was two (now 73) he was given a cup of tea. “It’s staggerous” he said. Meaning nasty.

I’m actually crying with laughter. The brainium!

My nearly 4 year old grandson is dinosaur mad. He had been to a theme park with large animated dinosaurs and decided he wanted to be a dinosaur keeper. He informed me that he could feed the diplodocus by hand but you must always use a bucket to feed a T-Rex!!

Years ago I was teaching my P1 class a new prayer. I said now put your hands together, now put them below yr chin like this. Close your eyes. Now say after me …… and they all said as one voice “After me” !!!

This made me watch my language. About 50 years ago, I was struggling with the safety pin on DS's terry nappy (remember them?) when the 2-year-old came out with his first long sentence: "What's the matter with that bloody pin?"

Baby Jesu went to London with guns and a camel…

Many years ago my granddaughter answered the door to someone. They asked is your Dad around? She said yes but he's multi tasking? My daughter-in-law and I looked at each other. Then she continues, he's sitting on the toilet , talking on the phone!

When my grandson was quite young my daughter asked him if she could have a kiss - he said ‘no’. She asked him why not and he replied ‘because I haven’t got any kisses left in my mouth’😊

That reminded me of a dd - now in her 40s - but 3 at the time. We were in the car with my folks and she chattered absolutely non-stop.

Eventually my amused mother said to her, ‘Where do you get all your talking from?’
Dd thought for a moment before replying, ‘From my mouf!’

My 3-year old grandson, on death and beyond...
"I don't want to go to heaven."
"Why not?"
"Because I might fall through the clouds."

I knew a mum who bought her son a child’s boiler suit to play in. His sister was really upset because she couldn’t have a girler suit.

Just a little different - my little daughter was beginning her 'big toilet' use. Sitting 'on the throne' one day, legs swinging and singing to herself - suddenly one the words she formed was repeated over and over - the word was 'bugger'!! No-one at home used swear words so it was an accidental 'find'. Unfortunately it pleased her for an uncomfortable length of time as she seemed to like the sound so continued to sing it ad infinitum!!!

We spent 3 years in Hong Kong when my girls were toddlers. When we flew home my 4 yr old was looking expectantly out of the window as the plane went up through the cloud layer. I asked her what she was looking for and she said “I can’t see Jesus. Where is he?”

I was telling my granddaughter that when papa and I got married 51 years ago, we had no television, no car, no washing machine and toilet was out on landing. Lucy looked at me, a few minutes later she said Gran in the Roman times, that made me laugh, I suppose to her it all sounded alien

This was my son when he was six. He'd fallen in the school playground. When he came home he took off his trousers to look at his grazed knee. "Wow" he said "If I'd known it was that bad I'd have cried". Bless him, he's 43 now.
