The things they say.

I think she meant environmentalist and salmon.

My five year old granddaughter, when asked what she would like to be when she was grown up, said that she would like to be a scientologist and look after wild salamis. We had no idea what wild salamis were but we laughed for ages.

We live in a two bedroom house, when GD2 was little she asked me where our other bedrooms were! DD and family have always been lucky enough to live in big houses.

my cousins little girl asked her mum ,,were there cows when you were little?

After my husband died my middle grandson, aged 6,said "I wish Grandad could come back - but not as a zombie"!

Nine year old grandson was playing football with DH in the garden, and said " Come on, Grandpa, one more game!"
DH said jokingly " Ooh, no, Sam, don't forget I'm very old!"
Sam said gently "Yes....but you've had a good life..."

Was dropping off my 9 year old granddaughter at school, but we were running late; so I hurried her along and we started to run. When we arrived at the school gate (just before they were about to lock it) she piped up:
"Wow Nonna, I had no idea you could run!"
Cheeky beggar!

I recently picked up my 9 yr old granddaughter from a birthday party held at a rather remote location and a very twisty bumpy road. Soon after we started driving, she asked 'what does it feel like to be poisoned?" She had been telling me that she and the other girls were pretending about ghosts and whatnot, so I thought she was referring to that. She started getting a bit more worried, and told me she had eaten an un-wrapped lollipop that one the the girl's auntie had made for them. She told me her mum said she was only ever to eat wrapped candies, so she was worried she was being poisoned, since her tummy wasn't feeling well.

I reassured her that they were very nice people and wouldn't poison the guests. I was more worried about her being car sick after lunch, cake and treats at the party! There was nowhere to pull over on the narrow road, so I had her open the window and take big gulps of fresh air. I was very happy to finally deliver her home. phew!

That’s too cute SueDonim!
Actually love the two posts above yours too. 😂

I’ve lost confidence in driving recently and a few months ago a situation occurred where a very short drive to our little family made things a lot easier. As I parked up and got out of the car I heard L’il Miss call excitedly to her older brother “guess what J? Grandma’s just driven here … for real!”

She’s 8 and never knew I (could) drive. 😊

My little GD was shocked recently to discover that when you are born, you have no clothes on!

When my grandson was about 13 he asked a question. I answered in French. Grandson looked amazed, then asked, 'How do you know French?' I don't think they realise we haven't always been this age and that we actually attended school etc.
