We took my granddaughter on holiday and were using the sat nav when she piped up indignantly with 'how does this lady know where we are going all the time'

it was when she asked if her daddy was from the same place as big bird

Grandson aged two was inspecting the new dog bed in our lounge, when I asked him who slept in it, his reply was 'grandpa'

GD, now 3, has just moved from her cot into a "big girl's bed". One of her favourite books is about the crocodile under the bed so now she wants to know why she hasn't got a magic crocodile under hers!

My little grand daughter was talking about her friend Flora. I asked her if she went to Nursery school too. 'Don't be silly Gran, she has no 'teef' so can't go!

When my 6 year old granddaughter was throwing a bit of a wobbly , her (Scottish) father said she was being a drama queen. The next day she said to me, " nanny, daddy says I'm a drum queen, what is a drum queen?" It took me a while to work that one out.

On going to a recent funeral,the little one piped up 'Will there be a very big cake?'

My hair was past due it's 'vanity fix' and the roots were showing through very grey. Out shopping with My 5 year old granddaughter ahe asked me why I was buying hair dye as she liked my sparkly hair.

Grandson age 6: "Granny, why is grandma old?"
Me: age 62 "I don't think she is, she's like me quite young really"
Grandson looks doubtful...
Me: "So do you think I'm old then?"
Grandson: Looking adamant "Well you are old, Granny!"
Me: Looking determined and sounding firm "Not really, I'm only 62 you know, that's not old at all"
Grandson: laughing uproariously "Granny, how can you be young? For goodness sake you're nearly dead!"
Me: speechless and rather deflated, slope off to look in the mirror!

We were driving to Cheddar Gorge and I was telling the kids about facts of the place, and I was telling them that they had found a 10,000 year old man there.
When a wee voice piped up: Is the man still alive?

my grandson liked looking at the old black and white photos of his great granny and granddad. One day he asked me 'When did they turn the colour on, in the world, Granny?'

`Nanna in your day did you have to write a letter, put a stamp on it and go and post it, not just send a txt`

err yes! I now feel very old!

"I dont want to get old cos you get cobwebs under your armpits"

I was getting some cash out the ATM at our local bank, accompanied by a fascinated Hannah. When I retrieved my cash, she asked me, "Do you always win when you play that machine?"

Grandpa Mike always said "Good night, God bless" when he put Hannah to bed. She asked me one day, "Why does Grandpa always say 'Cobblers' when he tucks me in?"

My granddaughter asked where her umbo was. After a long long time we realised it was her elbow!

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'

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

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

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.

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!

"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.)

"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!"

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?"!

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!
