Snowy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 We have had the grandchildren staying for the last few days. While I was at work, OH decided to take them for a walk to the local shop so asked them to get washed and dressed (they are 4 and 6) Half way to the shop, 6 year old boy says 'Grandad, I forgot to put my trousers on'. Luckily he had remembered his boxer shorts - OH hadn't looked too closely and just thought they were skimpy shorts I haven't laughed so much in ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I love it when kids have obviously dressed themselves and adults are cool with their decisions. Happy. My daughter works with the public and was getting some grief and abuse from a man. Two young boys went up to her and asked if she'd like them to hit the man. He went off in a huff, she thanked them sincerely because it was a kind offer really. They were very polite with their offer of violence and we wondered if they were cubs 'being prepared '.

Couperwife Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 oh , that is wrong on so many levels, but it seems right if you know what I mean. an aggressive man totally disarmed by 2 young and very polite boys. I bet he felt a right burk when he got home and thought about it at Snowys OH. I love seeing children who have dressed themselves (spiderman outfit for supermarket ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Oh to be young enough to get away with wandering around in pants! That story made me chuckle! How lovely the boys offered to come to the rescue, very valiant! On a couple of occasions when Bogwoppit was a bit younger people pointed out he had his shoes/wellies on the wrong feet..."oh, he insists on putting them on himself" I would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Sadly ES has inherited his father's 'dress sense' He insists on wearing strpied trousers/shorts with checked shirts - I have decided to 'police' his wardrobe a bit better and be much more careful when buying for him now YS just wants to go everywhere dressed as a knight or pirate, complete with wooden sword which, I swear, will have someone in A&E before long! We tend to negotiate and leave the sword in the car! When I was a nanny I remember taking a fairy, disney princess and pirate to the supermarket - some arguments are just not worth having!!!!!

The Dogmother Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Ahhh, I remember the days when Rosie was into dressing as a fairy - she looked like a mini Lily Savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Last week my DD 3 very nearly 4 insisted on going round the supermarket in a vivid pink with black spots flamenco dress complete with massive matching hair clip & fan. Everytime somebody passed comment she shouted Ole. Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
