Funny things grandchildren come out with

When my gd was about 3 she came to me in the kitchen and asked for a cuddle and told me ‘them boys’ are teasing me and asked me to send them to bed with no dinner. Them boys were her dad and uncle both 6ft 5 and in their late 20s

Our GD when small, had to sit on the stairs for time out. One day, DH was sat on the stairs to lace his shoes up and GD, 3 years, asked, What have you done Grandad?

When dgs and dgd1 were about 2 and 3, I often minded them.
One day, they went in my bedroom and came out draped in every single piece of jewelry I owned.

They proudly announced, " We are going to work, like Mummy".

Thegrandmarniter what you said upthread about your DGD's words for things that she can't get her tongue around made me smile. At the moment, my own DGD (3) calls the trampoline a "bouncerine".

They can be a laugh a minute, can't they

When my daughter was two she was walking in front of me. We had almost reached mum's house. I said "do you want to run on ahead"? She replied "who's head"? Another time my mother commented "she's got lovely sturdy legs". My daughter said crossly "I haven't got lovely dirty legs"!

My three-yearold granddaughter was being constantly put into the "Thinking Corner" at her school. The reason? She refused to keep her pretty pink gingham school overall on. When her mother asked her why she kept doing this she replied "Because everybody must see that I dress with STYLE!"

We have my 2 year oldgranddaughter once a week. Dont know what diet my son thinks we give her as when he asks what we gave her for dinner she always says sausage and chips!

My 6 year old grandson had a pebble in his pocket and when I asked why he said it was his infinity stone (Harry Potter). He then said, “ you keep it Granny then you won’t die”!

I love it when my grandchildren say they’d like prawn cottontail Pringles instead of cocktail ?

My darling 4 yr old Grandson
told me that I was not to worry because when I got old he was going to look after me
I replied Thankyou & let’s agree that until that day comes we will look after one another . Wonder when I’ll be old enough in his eyes to need looking after Im 79 this year !

When my daughter was small she had long hair. When I washed it I put it up in a towel, like a turban. One evening she said ‘I don’t mind having my hair washed Mummy, but please don’t put it in a turnip’
My grandson asked for a hedgehog cake for his birthday - I’ve made them dozens of times before, but could I get it to work? After 2 attempts I gave up and made a plain sponge, filled with chocolate icing. He gazed at it in rapture and said ‘Oh Nanna, you’ve made me a beef burger cake’!

I may be lowering the tone here, but this has always both amused me and made me tremendously proud of how advanced my son was!!!

When he was being potty trained, aged 2, I was totally stunned by his poetic turn (!) He's been a wee bit constipated that day, and when he got off the potty there was a little "sheep dropping" at the bottom of a big pool of pee.

He surveyed it, then turned to me and said "Mummy look - a pearl at the bottom of the sea!")

My football mad 8 year old grandson said to his Mum last week, "Do you know Nanny's been on this planet 64 years and still doesn't know the offside rule!"

Driving in the car one day my daughter -about 2- kept trying to take her seat belt off. My Mum told her that if she took it off the police would stop us and I would be in trouble and may get taken away . All went silent. Then she said " Don't worry Mum, if the police come and take you away I will drive the car home" !!!
There's me worrying that Mum had overstepped the mark about me getting arrested and my DD's only concern was about getting home.

Blondiescot .... just, WOW!

Plunger I obviously have a ridiculously childish sense of humour, because forevermore, pop corn is going to be known to me as cock porn! I nearly choked over that one.

My five year old granddaughter explained what 'death' meant; You go on a very long adventure. BUT you never come back!

my son when little could mix up words sometimes but the one that we all decided was a good new word was when he said " Oh mummy that was my flavourite dinner" On another occasion we had been talking about guinea pigs and we were having fish and chips. He looked at the vinegar and said please pass the um um guinea pig !"

If he is ever asked his age, DGS says he's 34! None of us know why & he knows perfectly well he's actually 4!

When my oldest granddaughter was about 4 (she's nearly 15 now) she was desperate to come to us for a sleep-over. However, she was being a bit of a madam and her mum said "If you keep on being naughty Granddad and Grandma won't want you to stay with them"

She considered this and then, hands on hips, said: "Well, I won't be naughty at THEIR house, will I!"

Collapse of all adults, and she got her sleep-over (and she wasn't naughty at all).

The family across the road from us had their second daughter last summer.

Congratulating the father, I asked what the big girl's reaction had been (she was three at the time).

She had apparently looked at the baby, when her mother came home from hospital rather quietly, but when it was mentioned in her hearing that the midwife would be in the following day to see how mother and baby were, the big one brightened up and asked, "Can we hand her back then?"

The children's mother didn't find it funny, but the rest of us were in stitches over it.

a 4 yr old gd was in A&E having fallen and cut her forehead.....the nuse trying to get her to lay down on the couch but she refused saying ...'the only place I lay down is in bed!'......

grandchildren being shown over my new car and I was telling them it's got to be looked after......Grandson piped up with......has it got to last till your not here anymore nan?......

I explained to my granddaughter that I was very old so couldn’t crawl on the floor and she said “you are not old nanny, you are just crinkly”

When our GS was about 3 we’d been out for the day to a local farm, then on to the nearby coast. Had a full day out and he must have worked up an appetite as he came to me in the kitchen scoured the worktops and said I can’t see. I said what can’t you see? Food was his reply!

On a similar occasion we’d been out for a long walk and was heading home near to lunchtime. I asked him if his tummy was rumbling? Yes it feels all wobbly was his reply ?

The latest one was a few weeks ago discussing a family Birthday and we went through the family birthdays and ages. I’m quite small in height and when I told him my age next Birthday he looked me up and down and said but why aren’t you bigger?

Loving this thread. When my youngest was about three we took her to the beach for the first time. The next day she asked to go to the big sandpit with the bumpy water again!

My three-yearold granddaughter was being constantly put into the "Thinking Corner" at her school. The reason? She refused to keep her pretty pink gingham school overall on. When her mother asked her why she kept doing this she replied "Because everybody must see that I dress with STYLE!"

I love that!

Vesting my GS then aged 4 for a couple of weeks we were out in the car when pointing to the outside he announced "that's where you'll go before long you know Grandma". The cemetery. Don't know if he is disappointed I'm still here!

I was in tesco and a little girl was having a tantrum. Her wise mum walked on, ignoring her. The little girl followed her mum and said furiously "I'm still crying you know"!
