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

I haven't any GCs yet but once we took our eldest DS aged 3 to the south coast and drove through the New Forest.

As the scenery was different to the roads we had already been on we explained that this area was the "New Forest".

Taking us literally he asked "Do you mean they've only just built it?"

I take my 2 yr old granddaughter swimming every week. We are potty training her at the moment. When I got out of the pool, my swimming costume was soaked and dripping water. She shouted out 'Nanna wee wee!' I quickly explained to her and the crowd watching 'no it is only the swimming pool water , nanna not doing wee wee!'

Going to the post office with my face covered with stickers!!!!
Emily and Jack thought it was hilarious ??

I let them do crafting in the newly decorated kitchen dining room when I was looking after my grandchildren of 3 and 6! ..... I had completely forgotten how much mess glitter glue made, and that you could get it on the ceiling! Thank goodness we eventually cleaned it all off

Whilst visiting my elderley mother with my family, my 3 year old granddaughter decided she was our teacher and we all had to sit cross legged on the floor while she ‘read’ us a story, even her 87 yr old, arthritic great grandmother. It was so funny watching us all trying to sit cross legged while she told us all off for being naughty for not doing it right.

my funniest moment with my grandchildren was when going out for a cycle ride stopped at a park the two grandchildren asked me to join them on the log steps on the adventure play ground as i was walking across i slipped heard a crack laying on the floor with a broken ankle with all in laughter cycled home trip to the hospital boot on we still have a laugh about it now me included

my 2 granddaughter and I went for a walk in our local park and she saw a beautiful Dalmatian dog she said ohh look nanna there is a zebra . she got her spots mixed up with her stripes .

Years ago,on a family holiday,our 2 year old granddaughter was sharing our room. I was first to get ready one morning and thought I looked quite presentable in my new crop trousers. Granddaughter took one (disapproving) look at me,folded her arms,and said - in a very scathing tone - “I hope you’re not going out dressed like that!!!”
Needless to say I couldn’t get changed fast enough.?

She’s now at university and still a bit of a fashion guru. Just last week she was looking at old holiday photos and found it hard to believe that we let her and her siblings wear socks with their sandals!

After explaining to my toddler granddaughter that my dad who was known as Bumpy, had died years before and was now in heaven, said granddaughter went on to explain to my 88 year old very surprised mum that Bumpy had gone to Devon!

Shouting out about bad words that he said he heard from gran and constantly saying it over and over ?

Youngest grandson tried to wade through a large puddle covering the path on a forest trail. He got stuck in the mud in the middle. Going to help, I put my arms round his waist and heaved. His feet shot out of his wellies and we fell backwards. Both of us ended up flat on our backs in the filthy water!

My granddaughter loves playing hide and seek and we usually hide whilst mummy finds us. I have been squashed in play tents , under duvets in a dripping shower, sometimes on my own as they have given up and gone to get snacks , leaving poor nana languishing in her hiding place

Playing eye spy with my grandson on a car journey. It was my turn to guess and it was something beginning with ‘w’ pronounced wu took an age to guess everything I could think of beginning with ‘w’ but had to give in! The answer was roof (pronounced woof) ??

When walking on holiday, one of them walked straight into a hole in the road and fell over. No harm done but the expression on the face was just choice.

I am famous in my home town, thanks to my grandchildren! I decided to take the youngest three swimming at our local pool, and they have recently had renovations done, so everything was shiny and new...and very stiff. I always nip to the loo before the pool, so I did, the children waiting for me outside. I went to open the door to leave, and found the locks were so new and stiff I couldn't undo them!
The oldest grandchild was 10, but hes a tiny thing, and as I called through the door to him, he just started laughing, which set the other two off, and soon I had a huge crowd waiting outside while the manager was called.
Someone could have possibly climbed over, but these cubicles were so tiny...
Anyway, a friend of mine was also there by chance, and she kept an eye on the kids, and started the entire crowd off singing a song....
"Oh Dear, what can the Matter be, Nanny Pearl is stuck in the lavatory, Big bum is stuck from monday to saturday, poor old Nanny Pearl!"
I managed to get out thanks to a very agile young man climbing over the top, while I wedged myself onto the toilet....
The kids haven't stopped singing the song since.

One of my grandsons used to suffer from low blood sugar.

He always took delight in phoning to tell me that he had to go to hossipickle in an abulans!

My granddaughter is now aged 11 (going on 31), and when she was around 6, she decided to dress up her grandad (as little girls do) when she had finished grandad said to her 'do I look pretty', and quick as a flash she said 'yes pretty awful' .....we couldn't stop laughing. She still comes out with random sayings now, and her nick name is #H.

When they came down from playing upstairs in my bikinis, hairpieces and winter thick black tights - (they are both boys !) they looked HILARIOUS

We were on a cable car going up The Heights of Abraham in Derbyshire whilst away on holiday. I was explaining that the car doesn't stop at the top, keeps slowly moving so we would have to get off quickly without any messing about. Half way up, it slows right down for you to admire the view. In a complete panic our 6 year old granddaughter yelled 'Do we really have to get out here?'. We all howled with laughter!

When one of our grandsons drew a cat face on his brother's faec while he was alsleep. It wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't used a black permanent marker pen.

Playing midnight badminton in the garden during the summer with the moonlight, great fun

It had been raining heavily and wellies were the order of the day for our twin boys. We decided to venture out for a walk to the local play ground with my famous last words ‘don’t run or you will slip over in the mud. So what happened ? The boys all thought it was brilliant fun to chase each other around until one fell over and got completely covered in mud and soaking wet.
Blanket out of the boot of the car, clothes off and home in pants !

I was walking two of my grand daughters, aged 3 and 2 in the garden of one of their mums, the 2 yo got bird droppings on her hand and as I was wiping it off the 3 yo walked into the side of the low paddling pool and fell in. My 6 yo grandson ran in to ask if she had a change of clothes, I was very unpopular and not trusted with either of them again for a while !

Our first grandchild Chloe has just turned three and is developing nicely despite spending time with us grandparents when both her mummy and daddy have to be at work at the same time.
She's been talking quite well for some time now and has mastered quite a vocabulary but we have begun to introduce some niceties so we have have nice conversations.
The other morning she was drawing pictures in the lounge and asked granddad "Can I have the tele on?"
Granddad replied "What's the magic word?" and without looking up from her drawing simple said "Abwa-cadabwa" which wasn't bad for the first attempt at the word we'd heard her make. Such deadpan humour at her age made us both laugh out loud.

You know that feeling when you're asleep but get the sense someone is watching you? Waking up to find three year old Hattie standing stock still, one arm in the air wearing the foam cut out coronet from a trip to NY, declaring in the darkness "I'm the statue of liberty!". Yikes!
