We had been to a restaurant for a family meal, Gd asked me to take her to the toilet, she felt quite grown up and toileting is a big thing for her to wield over her nappy wearing toddler sister.Anyway, she goes first, then it's my turn, and at the top of her voice she shrilled 'Nannan, why do you ALWAYS wear those spotty pants, I'm fed up of them' I had to say in equally loud voice for the other people waiting..'Oh yes well I have a pack of them with all different coloured spots on each pair and these will be different ones'When I came out of the cubicle I felt I had over egged my explanation and made myself look even more guilty of being a one pair woman !!![Blush]

While on holiday I took Grandson aged 3 to the toilet with me. Freddie says " Granny which superhero have you got on your pants?" Quick as a flash I replied " Granny has got flowers on her pants" Good recovery I thought!

When my granddaughter was 3 years old, we came out of her house to find polystyrene oval packaging shapes over the road. "Grandma! Why have all the clouds fallen out of the sky" she cried.

we were discussing the day on which we were born with the GCs and I mentioned that 2 1/2 year old No.3, who was sitting on my lap, was born on a Tuesday, therefore was "Full of Grace". a gruff little voice came up to me stoutly stating that "I not full of grapes" General collapse with laughter all round!

I took the grandsons to soft play and was approached by a 4 year old who was curious about my crutch and it was a most bizarre conversation with this very polite 4 year old boy. I was sitting when this little lad came over
"Excuse me, can you walk?" - "Yes, why do you ask?"
"Because you have one of them" he said pointing to my crutch
I explained it helps me to walk which got a "Why do you need a crutch, What happened?".
"Well, the car I was driving was hit by a very big truck and it hurt my back"
"Hmmm" - you could see the cogs turning .........
"Do you think maybe you should use the bus then?"

First time a 4 year old has left me speechless!

Looking worriedly at the back of my aged hand DGD asked me what the blue worms were ...

Nanna can you knit me a pair of gloves with two fingers in so I look like a dinosaur?They took ages, but I did manage it in the end. Shame I can't post a photo for you to see my finished result.

Question asked by my son to my father (his great grandad):

'Were you killed in the war, grandad?'

(My son was doing a 2nd world war project at the time, and he knew that my father fought in that war. Luckily, dad survived - and is still going strong today - aged 92)

Our 8-year old grandson asked us how we were going to vote in the EU Referendum, as he thought it would be better for us to leave!!!

I was telling DGS something about when his mummy was the same age as he is now (4):
DGS: "And where was I?"
Me: "You weren't born yet"
DGS: "y
Yes I was, I was at my daddy's house"

My 3 year old grandson asked me the other day if I was 100 - I'm in my 60's .....

spotting my shower gel, my granddaughter asked "would it be too minty for my bottom?"!!

3 year old gc talking nonsense. Me 'What are you saying, it sounds a bit like baby talk?' Gc (affronted) 'Well it wasn't, cos I wasn't talking!'

I was talking to my DD on FaceTime and my DGC were joining in and showing me their new toys and books. My middle GD, aged 3, said "how did you get inside mummy's phone, nanny?"

My 4 year old granddaughter asked if I knew what was behind her forehead. Puzzled I asked what was there. She said it was her birthday party. In fact "behind her forehead" was the expression she was using for "memories".

A couple of weeks ago my granddaughter asked for a biscuit but I had none and I muttered that I'd failed as a Grandma. On Tuesday she visited again and feeling peckish asked if I was still failing as a Grandma or had I bought biscuits? I had!

When my GD had asked how babies were made my DD explained that they grew in mummy's tummy from a tiny seed. Later when we took DG to a garden centre she said to me "Granny, can we go and buy a packet of that special baby seed?".

Some while ago I was on the top deck of a bus with my 4 year old granddaughter.To occupy her I suggested she look for shapes in the clouds.She looked to the sky and after a couple of seconds said--Look there's one-Its a lady changing a babies nappy.

My young grandson asked 'if honey bees make honey, do butterflies make butter?'

I have just one grandchild & he hasn't got to the stage of asking me amusing questions yet!! His Mum did ask him one day which of his Nannies & great Grandmas were his favourite - his answer was Nanny J J (which is me) ?

I was cooking one day and my granddaughter aged 4 was 'helping'. I found some ham in the fridge that was well out of date and threw it in the rubbish bin. 'Why did you throw it away Gigi?' she asked. I responded, 'It was old darling'.
Without hesitation she innocently asked me, 'When you are old Gigi, shall I put you in the rubbish?'

Bless her, its a thought though !

A few years ago one of my DGS was asking about my Mum, I said that sadly she had never known him as she died before he was born. Straight away he asked "Who shot her?"

my grandson once asked me if i went to school on a donkey.. nice.

Funnily enough yesterday when we were in Town, my grandson asked 'what is that woman doing in that red box?' You mean phone box! Had a lengthy conversation about days gone by when you had to use them! Bless

On a drive in the countryside we passed a field where the farmer had giant round bales of hay/straw stacked. The little one asked, "Are those Elephant toilet rolls?"
