Why is that man on fire ? 2 year old Francesca who'd never seen anyone smoking before. And no, not a family or friend, but a random builder we walked past.

When babysitting my granddaughter she looked at me and said ' nana have I got ppi? Couldn't move for laughing!

when picking my 5 yr old grandson up from school he solemnly informed me that his best friend ha been abducted ,on further conversation it became clear his friend was adopted

My friend's little boy asked me if Hong Kong was King Kong's brother

I often double cook, & freeze, but I was shocked when my dear Granddaughter asked our guests if they liked eating leftovers as that was what I was serving them!

when i said they could get their ears pierced when they are 18 and my daughter said "but you will be dead by then".

My gd said nanny if a crab drinks daddy beer will it walk in a straight line! we all fell about laughting

As I came in from the garden on a hot day I started to itch.
"I think I've been bitten!" I remarked.
3 year old GD said anxiously
"Was it a crocodile Nana?"

When my daughter was 5, my mother told her she was growing up too fast and needed to slow down. she said But it isn't my fault Granny It's mums's fault She keeps giving me all those birthday parties lol

My grandson asked me the other day while watching Star Wars, "what was it like when you were young, was the Empire bad then" I couldn't help laughing

Grandma " Why do all stories begin with 'Once Upon A Time'"?

'How come if I could 'swim down the birth canal' when I was born, I can't swim now?'

My friend's granddaughter was watching her apply face cream "what is that for Nanny?" "To stop me getting wrinkles" little one comes back with. " you haven't used enough" !!

We were at a park in the pets corner where lets just say the rabbits were quite active! One was on top of the other. My granddaughter (she's 3!) started shouting grandma that rabbit is really hurting the other one, make it stop Grandma!' Frantically clapping her hands to try to scare the rabbit off, it eventually jumped off! (much to her relief!) She then asked why the rabbit didn't fight back..was funny, a day we'll never forget!

My grandsons have developed a facination for who came out of whose tummy. I thought they finally understood and the conversation went -
"So Daddy came out of your tummy?"
"Yes"
"Then he got big, met Mum and I came out of Mum's tummy?"
"Yes that's correct"
"Then my brother came out of Mum's tummy?"
"Yes" This is going well I thought....
"Did you come out of Mum's tummy too?"
"No, I had another Mummy. She was your Daddy's Gran"
"Oh where is she?"
"She died a long, long time ago"
Silence while this was processed
"Did the Zombies get her?"

After dying my hair - "Why are you looking witchy, nanny? It's not Halloween."

Following on from the previous post - a friend, Jack, aged 83 and follicly challenged, popped round to bring me some runner beans. My GS stood beside me as I chatted to Jack. All of sudden a little voice piped up "Nanna, why does Jack have his hair cut so short?" Luckily Jack had a sense of humour!

We were in the garden playing on the trampoline when my I was asked "how high do I have to jump before I don't come back down again?"!

"You know I said your tummy is as fat as Daddy Pig's.....Well it's not!"
"Oh Good! says I.
" Because he's not real, but you are!"

"What's that Grandma? Is it a very big flannel?"

(It was a cotton bath mat that we use all the time and was folded over the side of the bath.The tone of voice made it a highly comical and much remembered and retold event in our house.)

When I had a cold and had catarrh, she asked why I had a guitar in my throat. Another time I asked what shall we do today go to the park or swimming pool and she replied either nanna it is ten and half a dozen. They are funny children the way they hear things!

Not answering the question strictly. My grandson asked his aunt (my daughter) 'if you are still alive when I am 18, will you take me diving with you?' She wasn't impressed.

Funniest one that sticks out is tiddles asking me if I had been surprised when I could switch on a light instead of using a candle :0

I was asked by our little poppet if I went to school by chariot in the olden days when I was little!!!!

My granddaughter, aged four, had come, along with my son and his partner to my fathers funeral. She had known my father quite well, and the fact that he had died had been explained to her in a way we thought she might understand. She was very quiet through the the service, but as soon as it had finished asked, ' can we take old grandad home now'
