The time they decided to throw up in alton towers in a roller coaster
On St. David's Day they had moved from England to Wales. The oldest one arrived home with a Daffodil. I asked him what his younger brother had been given. He thought carefully and said 'A Drip' We waited and were presented with 'A Leek!'

I was out shopping in my local supermarket with my granddaughter when she suddenly lifted her summer dress in the air and shouted look nanny mummy bought me some new knickers a very posh lady was walking past with her shopping basket and did not look at all impressed.
My 4 year old granddaughter had been to see Father Christmas in his grotto, at a local shop. Always outspoken, she told Father Christmas that
her Granddad was much bigger and fatter than him and had more white hair. Her Granddad didn't think it was a compliment. My daughter and I couldn't stop laughing.
Grandson Charlie was undergoing potty training so I was carrying a travel potty everywhere. We went to a park in Berwick upon Tweed which had one section for bigger children and a smaller area devoted to toddlers and the like but, unfortunately, no public toilets. When we got to the smaller park, there were few other children there so I thought, "Good it's nice and quiet if he does need to perform". No sooner had this occured to me than Charlie clambered up to the platform on a spider's web type climbing frame and then asked for his potty. Granny had to follow him up there so he could perform on the dais while I balanced precariously on one of the rope rungs. One father with a child of a similar age remarked to his son "That little boy is potty training too" whereupon the child started mounting the platform alongside Charlie to get a better view!
I was driving my two grandchildren home from school when I said to my elder granddaughter, 'Won't it be nice when you're older and you can take grandma out for a drive?'
To which her brother retorted, 'You'll be dead by then grandma!'
Torn between wanting to watch TV and letting grandson play in the garden, my partner came up with a 'man-solution' - he attached a camera to a remote control car and put the image up on split screen TV. Grandson and the dog loved it and giggled running away from it then running back to it - we were also treated to lots of close ups, grins, waves, dances etc. And grandson roared when the car accidentally bumped into the dog - he ran in to ask if we got a good view of the dog's butt! Another funny moment was partner taking little man to bed...following him, very slowly upstairs, when little 'un turned round to him and said "sometimes life is soooooooo hard ain't it!" - I think he nearly fell down the stairs laughing.
Walking my 6-year-old grandson into town, it suddenly got very cold & windy so I offered to put my cardigan around his shoulders, "No Nana" he said, "I don't want to look stupid!"
He was wearing, frog wellies, shorts, T-shirt, a Batman cape, swimming goggles & a fireman's helmet!
When I stared looking after my grandson he knew I worked in a nursery . We were reading one day and he looked up and said " nana is that you nursery voice or your real one? "
Playing in the garden
We answered the age old question about how babies are made with the simple statement that daddy puts a special seed into mummy and the baby grows in her tummy. That afternoon grandad is gardening when in rushes 4 year old GS, very excitedly. 'Come quick, grandad' s making babies in the garden!'
My grandson Phoenix is so funny we had the radio on in the car and he goes oh cool these are some sweet jams! he is only 7 and was only listening to Radio 2!
On being told that her aunty’s big tummy was because there was a baby in there, she promptly lifted up her aunty’s dress and said loudly “Look Mummy, it’s playing Hide and Seek”
Granddaughter, aged 3, was keen to feed my cat. She put the bowl down, Puss came running. 'Eat' demanded DGD, and Puss tucked in. 'Look, Granny, she does what I say' beamed a delighted child!
I was standing outside a train loo while GS 1 was inside. In a loud voice he announced “I’m trying to pull my pants up, but the train keeps wobbling them down”. Well it was a fast train! ?
the first thing my children do at my mothers house is run into the garden and hide all the clothes pegs, I think she thinks its funny but not entirely sure
This is Doggy. Wherever youngest DGS goes, Doggy goes too. This time, it was for a family walk in the woods... a really muddy walk. And, of course, the inevitable happened. Shock/horror reaction from DGS...Granny got a fit of the giggles....Everyone else fell about laughing...Older DGS slipped and fell into the mud...which cheered up younger DGS no end...and 'naughtie Granny' was given the honour of carrying Doggy all the way home. By way of a PS, Doggy is no stranger to a 60 degree boil wash and survives to tell the tale 
Age is the main topic with the 6 year old GS. He asks all and sundry their ages and ponders long and hard on the subject. I had a Big Birthday recently and he asked me, again, for the umpty tumpth time how old I was. 70....Oh! So it's not long until you're 100 then?
My small granddaughter was sitting in the back of the car one day as we were taking her out. It was a lovely day and lots of the shops and houses had lovely displays of flowers outside. I pointed out some flowers to my DGD and said 'Look at all the pretty flowers'. She replied 'For goodness sake nan, I'm 6 yeas old'. That told me then!
Our first granddaughter was visiting us having spent a few hours with my Mum - her Great-Grandma aka Nanajoy, and she told us that Nanajoy had a giraffe in her front room.
We assumed there had been a soft toy or something so basically went along with it.
Several weeks later we were all visiting Nanajoy again when the little one told Granddad in no uncertain terms that he should keep the door shut because of the giraffe.
We fell about laughing as Mum had obviously asked her to keep the door shut because of the draught not giraffe!

I was telling my Grandddaughter that I loved her very much, her reply was "That's good" she said "I love me very much too"
I was in a DIY showroom with my late husband a 3 of our grandkids. We couldn't find one frantically I tore around the shop. We found her on one of the display toilets, knickers around her ankles looking very proud as she shouted out I am having a big girl wee wee
Popping to the shop with my grandson in his pushchair (which was forward facing - very important to the story!) Anyway, quick trip to the supermarket, and I keep noticing people laughing or staring at us.....it was only when I got to the checkout that I realised he had taken a packet of butter off the shelf and was sat there happily eating it, paper and all!
