Locking Bar Eglu Classic

[beach chick]

sorry if the title is a bit twee, but I had about 3 hours in the car with my oldest today, and it was hilarious with some choice memories of things they've said.

 

like the time she rode a seaside donkey for the first time, aged 2, and said "where put money in?" (too many of those coin-operated rides outside the supermarket methinks)

 

or the time I had to drive to Somerset for work, and she said "what time will you get to Ayers Rock?" (eventually realised she meant Stone Henge)

 

or, this conversation:

oldest (wittering incessantly aged 7): "I like art, arts and crafts, yeah, craft is my thing"

youngest (darkly, fed up with talkative big sister, aged 5): "yeah, WITCH craft"

 

[Space Chick]

Priceless

 

My fav was my god daughter aged 2 and a half....

 

Auntie Debs? You have chickens, you grow veg, are you a farmer?

 

Both me and her Mum cried laughing, but her logic did seem sound...

The most classic one my DD said age about 6 was when she asked what a Tsquare did, we told her it was for drawing right angles, she replied....can you draw left angles with it too?

I love that - they are so logical arent they?!

Last year my DD joined Beavers. She was going to be invested, she kept telling everyone that she was going to be investigated. Still makes me laugh.

My nephew is getting to this stage - coming up to 2 years of age. I have this to look forward to but for now I just laugh at being called.... ATem.. ( Aunty Em). He shouts it at the top of his voice round Sainsburys. Ah.

Emma.x

Last year when DS started school he told me he now knew that there are naughty words, oh I said, yes mum they are "square words"

 

Swear words will forever be square to us now

[WitchHazel]

My cousin's little girl was visiting me for the first time, and wanted to go and see the chickens. I asked her "what's the magic word?". She thought for a moment and then said "Abracadabra"

[beach chick]

square words and abracadabra

we have always called rhinos "nossosseros" since dd's first visit to the zoo...

My sister, now aged 40, used to call yorkshire pudding awkward pudding and horseradish horserubbish they are known to all my family as this now! My ES when he was about 11 was watching cricket with my Dad and said look Grandad that bowler is rubbing the ball on his gentiles YS said to his Dad a few months ago, Dad you havn't got a six pack you've got a cuddle keg

My brother used to call lemon meringue pie catamaran (well, cata-meringue actually) pie when he was little

And we also all call it cata-meringue pie now.

Driving through the middle of Birmingham: "Mu-um, is there a beach near here?"

Jack used to sing along to the Spice Girls 'need somebody with the fuman touch'

When youngest son was 2 we were walking across the playing field when he said ' look at all the daddy tigers mummy' - translation - dandelions

And last year, after visiting a friend who lives on a farm he told me ' George has some more cows on his farm, but I don't know if he milks them or kills them' , a fairly accurate description of dairy and beef cows I suppose

[rachelk]

My nephew aged 2 1/2 came flying out the door from playgroup and announced at the top of his voice they had watched a film and had c**k-porn. (Meaning pop-corn)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even the village Dr had heard about it by the end of the week, as everyone thought it was so funny!!!

 

We have teb-mobs for cob-webs, dappy beachies for woodlice, busghetti volognaise, and we go to hostibal if we're ill. And my youngest is 10! Oh, and we have lig-logs (dandelion seeds) too!

[Looney]

My three year old comes out with some absolute corkers on a regular basis! It's his questions that make me laugh. After he had a wee he asked "Mummy, are my legs empty now?"

 

And when he puts his wellies on he always asks "Is this the right foot?" before putting his first foot in a welly. Then puts the remaining foot in the direction of the remaining welly and asks again "Is this the right foot?". It has me in hysterics!

I wasn't sure whether to post in here or the sex-ed thread ............

 

Chatting to my sister the other day (she's mid 40s, I'm mid 50s) she told me that her sex-ed programme at primary school showed a Labrador having puppies........ she grew up thinking that humans had litters and chose their favourite - the rest of the litter were why there were orphanages as that is where they went

 

I haven't stopped laughing yet - no wonder she's always acted as if she's the 'chosen one'..........I thought it was the age gap that made her seem like an only child

that is so funny!!! I used to have a theory that babies were like pancakes - you know, the first one is always a bit rubbish, but they get better after that (my oldest was the world's worst baby and toddler; but delighted to say that like fine wine she just gets better and better with age...)

I forgot to pack my son's recorder for his lesson last Monday and he was, apparently, asked by the teacher if he wanted to borrow a spare. 'No thank you, my Ma says thats terribly unhygenic' - weeeellllll, actually I did but........

 

When we tried (clearly unsuccessfully) to explain golf - Grandad's passion - on driving past a golf course said child remarked 'But thats just a field with holes in' which, of course, it is!!

 

Television is known as 'tesviz' due to YS, not to be outdone. He also asked my mother where her wings were last time she visited. Luckily I was able to head that one off at the pass knowIng that OH has asked what time the old bat was arriving - phew!!!!!

In the teachers thank you card one boy in DD2 class said "Thank you for teaching me things that my Mum and Dad don't know"! She has just left year 3...

[Duckmomma]

My eldest daughter when she was little.....

about to ask me something about my childhood, began with

"Mummy, in the olden days when you was a little girl and everything was black and white"

[sadietoo]

My DD (now 21) had several corkers, but we still (occasionally) sing her version of "the farmer's in the den" when travelling. She was a little short of two years old at the time, it was her favourite song and rendered at the top of her voice... "The farmer's instead, the farmer's instead, ee ii ee ii, the farmer's instead" deep breath next verse .."the farmer wants a wipe, the farmer wants a wipe" ee ii ee ii etc Chorus.." we all fat dog! we all fat dog!"

[Lesley]

 

'The farmer wants a wipe' certainly rings a bell here
