When a very floral funeral passed by my little girl asked "where are the bridesmaids?"

Caramme grin at least you could answer that one
My DGD asked me while I was peeing if I had a long bottom?.I queried her because my backside is not small.
"Daddy has a long bottom and Angus"
That explained it

G'dtr aged 3: when are you going to die, Granny?

Dtr aged 3ish, in the mid 70s, on a busy bus: Mummy, when I grow up will I have hairs on my bottom like you? I am still blushing from that one.

MrsKen how sad.
I was walking with my DGC through a graveyard with lots of stone images of angels and crucifixes.
DGD aged 6 asked me if Jesus was there?.

Grandma, where will I go when I die?
Still can’t answer that one.

My 4 year old DD suffering from chicken pox rapidly followed by whooping cough that lasted months asked me: "Mum ... why doesn't god make me better?" Why indeed.

At Sunday School once, I was asked by 8 year old identical twins if God was a man or a woman…. (I replied with the question “Does it matter?”. They replied ”no”!)

From one of my pupils aged six whose three year old sibling had had her legs amputated because of sepsis.

“ Where are her legs now Miss” ?

My daughter, then aged 8, asked an eminent astrophysicist at an Open University open day, what caused the Big Bang.
Fair play to him, he attempted an explanation for an 8 year old whilst the rest of us watched him squirm, with me silently thankful that she didn't ask me.
He compared it to opening a bottle of lemonade. Suddenly there's a lot of fizz and bubbles.
She seemed content with that.

My son, aged four, asked, “How does the moon stay up in the sky?” Ermmm…

My 4 year old son asked the lady on the meat counter at Waitrose ‘How do you get the meat off the the animal without hurting it?’ The look of horror on her face 😳
No surprise that he is a vegetarian.

From the back seat while I was navigating a very busy M5. ‘Who made the motorway - I know it was a road man (!) but what was his name?’ I didn’t and still don’t know.

My elder daughter, when aged about 2, asked me, "what colour are the holes in my jeans?".

My dd, when small, asked me if deaf people could hear themselves think. 😳

teabagwoman Sat 08-Apr-23 18:19:30

Going round a particularly difficult roundabout when dd, aged 4, pipes up from the back the car with “I need to know how God makes people.’ I don’t think I ever answered her.

From 5 year old GS this morning -

Nana, do you know how quickly a fly can vomit over you?

(Am assured that this is a phase they grow out of 🤷‍♀️)
