Win a Ted Baker handbag and a copy of Bad Nana!

Some years ago my late husband and I had been on holiday in the Lake District with my son and his family and during the course of the week my husband bought an expensive walking jacket. He was very pleased and proud and wore it all week, often asking if we thought it was good.
Very sadly he died suddenly the following week and some weeks later when looking at holiday photos in which he was wearing it, my six year old grandson said very matter of factly "Didn't get much wear out of it did he?" It gave us a welcome laugh despite the tears!

My little grandson said, ''If that's your 'hand bag' Grandma, do you have another one to keep your feet in!''
Bless him!

One day, I went with 2 Grand children, to an indoor park, my GS asked me to take him to the top of a slide (with tunnels on) , he said sit down on top of slide, and thought he was going to sit on my lap, but it was so slippery, i went before he could sit on my lap, then once at bottom of slide, all i could hear coming from the top of the slide through tunnels was NANA , bless him he was only 3, so had to go and retrieve him through fits of laughter.

I was trying out my daughter in laws new electric wonder curly thingy , and actually was quite pleased with result .When I asked my 6 year old granddaughter what she thought , hoping for a compliment ! She said "Its ok, you remind me of the lady wizard , in Harry Potter "She was of course referring to the wonderful Miriam Margelese ?! And I have to say she wasn't far wrong either .

My young grandson needed a haircut, and wanted me (or grandad) to cut it for him. I told him that I wasn't trained, and that you had to have a lot of training to become a hairdresser. 'So who trained the very first hairdresser?' he asked. Very good question! (I still don't know the answer)

We took the grandchildren on holiday to Camber Sands last summer, what a beautiful part of our island we had a ball, going to the beach and burying each other with sand, playing with buckets and spades and making wonderful creations, dancing through the sand dunes on the way home....it lifted my heart and spirits to have such memories....

As we were taking a shortcut through the local Cemetary, Lisa age 4, was admiring all the lovely flowers displayed on the graves. "Nanny" she said "This is a lovely Garden Centre isn't it!"

Our two small grandchildren often like to look through the old photo albums, on a rainy day it passes an hour for them.
They comment on the clothes, cars etc .
One day, when we had looked at lots of photos,our grandson asked about ‘the war’ and where was a picture of grandad as a ‘soldier’? I explained to him, that although gramps was old, he wasn’t old enough, and small grandson nodded wisely and said ‘yes,my daddy is old enough and was a soldier with a gun!’
This floored us as our son has always worked in an office.
The imagination of a five year old knows no bounds.

I was making my four year old granddaughter a chocolate spread sandwich when she announced that the chocolate spread looks just like poo!!

Three year old grandson was helping me wash my open topped car, which had the tonneau cover on. He decided to wriggle in and hide under the cover - I thought nothing of it as the keys were in my pocket - but somehow he knocked the hand brake off and the car started to roll. Because the cover was on I couldn't get at the handbrake to pull it on again - luckily I'd left the wheels at an angle to get at the wheel arches and it rolled against the kerb and stopped. Scary moment though!

I told my granddaughter that shes going to turn into a chicken and she will have feathers etc then i said "Oh I can see one growing behind your ear" then our dog started sniffing her! So i said "Oh she can smell you" she likes chicken ? she was laughing her head off lol

My young grandson had fallen and cut his knee and was proudly displaying a "Winnie the Pooh" plaster. Later that day we were sitting with a sticker book and he was happily sticking away. He turned to me and started placing them on my face. On asking him why he was doing this he replied, "I'm just putting plasters on your scratches, Nanny". Personally, I prefer the term "laughter lines"...…….

I picked my grandsons from school two days a week. I always bring a snack in my pocket or in a little bag. Every time they see me they will shout I'm hungry. But it happens anywhere, anytime now when they see me. It's like my name is 'I'm hungry '. They don't say it with their mum!

Staying with my daughter and family, I slept with the 2 year old. (She was in a cot).
At 6.30 a.m all was quiet, until I moved in bed! (bad idea). Toddler in loud whisper "Grandma can we go down for brekfut?" Half asleep reply "I shall have to go to the toilet first" Toddler "You have to wait your turn"

I was midway eating a burger when 3yr old Granddaughter came into the room. ‘Nanny! Where did you get that from?’she said. I replied that I had made it myself. Little Miss stuck her nose in the air and said ‘Huh! I get mine from Burger Queen’

Taking my grandchildren to a Xmas Grotto where you sat in a boat with Father Christmas at the helm, ( very well done), where the scenery moved giving the illusion you were moving, suddenly we stopped, Father Xmas had caught his foot in some machinery, after a chap helped him free his foot we continued. On leaving after the ride, I asked my Granddaughter did she enjoy it and she replied "Yes" but didn`t understand the chap when he asked Father Xmas "Are you alright FRED!"

One funny moment we still laugh about was when MIL was about to leave, my 6 month old son decided to wee on her lap just as her taxi arrived.
My eldest daughter ran to the door and told the taxi driver
“ Please wait a minute Nana is turning her skirt around so you won’t think she has wet herself.”

Mum was having coffee with a friend at home, their 2 girls were playing but very quiet when Mum went to see what they were up to, the guests daughter only had one plate instead of the two she had started with, they had been so quiet while playing at being hairdressers, awkward, Grandchildren, you have to love them.

We used to make wine and my 5 year old grandson told his teacher that when I dropped him off at school I used to go home and drink Blue Nun. So when I went to pick him up she called me over and, with tongue in cheek asked if I had a drink problem! Out of the mouths of babes!!

My funniest time with the grandchildren was when GS1 had his first ever mobile phone and was trying to produce a fart to record for his ring tone! All three children and I were rolling on the floor with laughter. In the end he gave up, having decided that knowing his habits there would be a lot of false alarms!

My 3 year old granddaughter kept asking where babies came from and my daughter told her 'You grew in mummy's tummy." There was silence, while she thought about this for a moment, then, with a pout and a frown, she exclaimed, "Mummy, did you EAT me?"

Today a starling flew into my kitchen. I found my granddaughter taking bread out of the breadbin to feed the bird. She said it was fed up of granddads seed and fat balls so it could have a nice treat. Thought she might have been making it a sandwich.

LOL! Lots of these gave me a chuckle- and my own GC say lots of stuff that make me laugh- but the milliebear one had me hooting with laughter!

My older(adult) children live in next county,so when myself& my 2 teenage boys visit we ussualy stay in a hotel overnight.my middle grandaughter often comes along to share with me.on one occasion her teenage uncles were bickering so i told them (hoping it would stop their nonsence)if they didnt stop it they'd be staying at their elder brothers house for the night! My grandaughter put her head to one side to consider this, then said to me hopefully,"so-just me and you then?"- ???

When my grandson was 2 and a half he stayed for a sleepover, when he got up in the morning he was in a hurry for me to get dressed so we could go out and play in the garden. He passed me my bra and said here are the shoes for your boobies nanny, now I know gravity is taking its toll but I didn't realise my boobs had gone that far south.
