SarahJo Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Not so much a saying .. more of an open comment from Ben age 5 this evening, at bath time. If Pepper dies .. she will lay really nice eggs for gods breakfast .. and Granny and Grandpas, and Rugsie (dog who died last year). They can all have really nice eggs ... and bet they're double yolkers. . I left the bathroom for a minute at that point to . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicola H Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 They do tend to take these things in their stride, I was so worried about telling Emily that a friend of ours is poorly and she won't recover, she said to me tonight I know Val is very poorly mummy and is going to die but she will go to heaven because she is so kind..........and I was stressed out about how I was going to explain it to her and from a childs point of view it is so straight forward, sometimes I think about these things too much when it is all so simple..................Oh to have the mind of a child.

SarahJo Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Ben was watching the wedding on TV ... Royal one not Corro, and piped up "Russian women, where do they live" Russia I replied, he then said - and they "Rush" around don't they, thats why they are Russian. Made me laugh ..... the Russian woman was the one who did a solo in the Chapel, for anyone who missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Esther had done her maths homework which included multiplying numbers with decimals. She had finished the main bit but was stuck on the extra "challenge, see what you can do bit". Thought I would just see if she understood the next one, fine if she did, stop there if she didn't. So, 4x 1.25 = She kept trying to do 4 x 1 to start, so I asked if she knew how to start the other end. Drew a blank, so asked her what fraction the .25 bit was (are you keeping up there, its worth it) When we agreed that .25 was a quarter, I started a wonderful visual hand demonstration of... "Look, I have a whole cake, I divide it into four, so you have a quarter, which is .25 of the cake, then L, D & C all have .25 each. Intending to show that 4 x .25 = 1 whole number, I then said, now, how much do I have (hand circle to demonstrate 1 whole cake), if you all give the cake back? Blank look from daughter. What happens if you all give the cake back to me? Esther, "But, have I eaten it ?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammi J Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Fantastic reply. See always think about the cake you have been given rather than the maths problem, that's how I live my life!!! Sammi -x- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicola mazey Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Megs when she was 5 went through a fanatically religious phase, dressing up as nuns and persuading the neighbours to take her to Sunday School. She came home one Sunday and asked 'Does God have big hands?' Well, I'm not an expert, so I guessed 'Yes, I think he probably does.' Megs replies...'Does he have a big bottom too?'. Shortly afterwards she's on the loo and a bit constipated. I'm about to comfort her when she puts her hands together, closes her eyes and prays..'Dear God and Jesus, please help me have a poo and please don't let it splash my bottom'..needlessto say, a miracle was performed that day! The phase has since passed and Britney Spears is the new religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahJo Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 "Mummy how did they kill the chicken ", as said by Ben age5 at tea tonight ....... we had roast chicken (hormone free and organic). Then he offers some answers ... "They shot it" "Chopped its head off" I cross my fingers and hope he does not say its Pepper . And we divert all attention ... and remind them we will never eat our pet chooks, as they lay 's. He then turns attention to the Carcass on the side .... at that point we decide to check on the Man Utd score and how Wayne Rooney is doing.

Imogen Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 This thread has made me laugh so much! When I was younger, I used to say 'laventine' instead of 'valentine'... And I also used to say 'carding-ans' instead of 'cardigan' Hmmm there are many more but I will have to think of them..... there was a song that goes 'One more night' and I used to think it went 'One walnut'. My parents realised when I was singing it in the back of the car that I had got the words completely mixed up *sings* ONE WALNUT.. DODODODO ONE WALNUT...

SarahJo Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 singing it in the back of the car that I had got the words completely mixed up *sings* ONE WALNUT.. DODODODO ONE WALNUT... ... Imogen, Joe sings "I'm a different POPSTAR (instead of Person) " to the Shapeshifters Lolas theme . I have this as my ringtone on my mobile ... so he always pips up when it rings. He is only 3 though ... so funny in a very cute way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Ollie's master of the twisted lyric too - aren't they funny. I'm not totally innocent on this either. We used to sing "Lord of the Dance" at school and I always thought they were singing "I am the Lord of the Dance settee" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Me too as I've had that song (well, not Jake's version anyway) going round my head all morning and I'd finally managed to shift it until now........ ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Change it for this then - at work on Wednesday one of the engineers was singing Teddy Bear's Picnic all day and I still can't get rid of it I've got the radio on today so that I don't have to look at smug, grinning idiots all over the TV and I still can't get rid of this tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I love the Teddy Bears Picnic. I used to sing it to the boys all the time - that and How much is that doggy and Nelly the Elephant. There's some ammo for you - bet you've got one of them floating round your head now!! Oh Nelly the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus..........
