out of the mouth of babes

When my eldest son was in primary school, he come home one afternoon telling everyone that our priest had taken mass as it was a holiday of obliteration as Jesus had absconded into heaven. We had to correct him and tell him it was a holiday of obligation and that Jesus had ascended into heaven. We still tease him about this and he’s 37😂

My daughter was staying overnight with my parents and she was in the bathroom when my Mum was getting dressed. When it came time for Mum to put her panty girdle on Lizzie said Grandma you will not get all that in there!

Years ago I was in a long queue in a local shop (Boots) waiting for the till roll to be changed, which was taking rather a long time.
All was quiet until my daughter, who was then about 3, said in a very loud voice, "Mummy, you've got a bogey up your nose."

Oh, the humiliation. After I eventually paid, I rushed off to find a mirror to check.
There was no bogey !!!!!

Anyway, I don't think this was either forgiven OR forgotten, and it's affected our relationship with them drastically!

When my husband was giving the best man speech at his brother's wedding, he said how glad we were that he'd found his wife. Our younger child, aged about 2, said in a piercing voice 'NO YOU'RE NOT!!!!! YOU SAID .... ' I'd have loved to hear what he was basing his statement on - we'd never said a word against her, and we were really happy they were getting married!!!!!!!

Aged barely 2, my younger daughter flung her arms almost painfully tight around my neck, and explained, “This is called Loving. It’s a bit like Strangling”

And oh, ‘tis true, ‘‘tis true!

One of my GSs was going to be in the reception Nativity play. He wanted to be a dinosaur, as he had the costume, but they insisted that he be a sheep.

His sheep costume was hanging up ready to be taken in for the play. He had packed his dinosaur costume in his backpack and when DD said he had to take the sheep costume he looked up at her and said "I am definitely not wearing that sheep."

When he was about 7 my nephew proudly announced he’d had sex at school today!

After a lot of gentle questioning we found out he meant secs (seconds) of pudding!

My oldest granddaughter, when she was four was telling my DH about the amount of money she had in her purse.My DH said to her that having all that money she must be a rich girl.DGD replied, ''I not a rich girl, I am (Christian name).''
My great grandson when at nursery , was playing at being hippos with the other children.They had to crawl around on all fours.DGGS accidentally trod on another child's hand ad was told to say sorry.His reply was hippos do not say sorry.
