xScrunchee Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Just thought of another one......................... The day that I found out that I was pregnant with my daughter I was walking down the street with my little sister (only 6 or so at the time) and she come out with.....................'So Jay, did the egg just hatch in your belly this morning then?' I LOVE kids-innocence is a beautiful thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Our next door neighbours grand-daughter is 9. I constantly hear her saying to her friend "im not answering you, im changing my name" I told her mum that i'd heard her say it and she went bright red and said that she said that all the time.

beach chick Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 just found this, havent had time to read it all, but here are 2 of my favourites from my kids: on a car journey a couple of years ago, kids wittering away: 8yo daughter: "I like art, arts and craft, craft's my thing" 6yo daughter: "yeah, WITCH craft" practically drove off the road I was laughing so much! after a hard day at the domestic coalface, with constant shouts of 'mummy' all day long, I was at the end of my never very long tether. me: "DON't call me Mummy!" silence for about 2 minutes, then: "Jaaa-aaa-aane?" made me laugh so much I stopped being cross (ps, I'm not actually a Jane, but tinternet and all that!)

Snowy Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK this is from a 16 year old rather than a littlie, but really tickled me. He's been working on an essay for english GCSE this afternoon and I asked how he was getting on. "I'm not" was the slightly grumpy reply, "you know english is not my forte" I did manage to reassure him he wasn't that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popcorn Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 On a similar note: When I took my Social Science exam at school, one of the queations was; What does APR stand for? I had no idea, so I put April. I bet that made the examiner laugh! Sort of back on topic, Stefan said, 'Bye bye Daddy' clear as a bell this morning. We both turned and looked at him in shock! .....then we both melted..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Not from a child but this had me in stitches this morning...... My son's Hungarian girlfriend stopped at the local shop to buy her lunch - they had all manner of hot pies and pasties but she doesn't eat much meat.......... She chose a Cheese Lattice, went home and started eating - she took it back to the shop because it didn't have any lettuce in it My son still hasn't stopped laughing - horrible child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 My then 9 year old was chatting to me in the car on the way back from school once (often happens in the car doesn't it...) and she said something about something she usually doesn't like being great... and I looked at her and said 'oh so you like that now?'... She gave a long sideways look and meant to say 'Mummy, I was being sarcastic'... only she said 'Mummy, I was being psychotic'.... I started laughing and she sighed and said 'ok, I've said it wrong, haven't I '.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Conversation at the dinner table this evening Please note Seb is very nearly 16 & school yr 11, Immi is 14, yr 10. Immi was quite upset and silent, so we gently pressed her about her school day trying to figure out what was going on. It transpires that she'd had to see a careers advisor who'd done some kind of a test on her and advised her to be a PCSO, ideally suited apparently. Immi had no idea what a PCSO is, and her ambition is to fly. She dreams of being a pilot in the RAF, is very active in the air cadets and has flown a glider, shot several different firearms and simply loves all things flight related. She can bore for England on runway lengths and stopping distances of military aircraft . I would never, ever, ever say this to her face (aim high girl ) but academically I doubt that she could make the grade to train as a pliot, but oh, boy is she working towards it. She spoke a RAF recruiting officer at a recent air show and knows precisely what she needs to achieve and she's really working towards it. So she was understandably upset by being told that she should aim to be an unqualified Police Officer Seb, in his gentle, unassuming and reassuring fashion told her "don't worry, I had to see one of those {careers advisors} last year........... she told me I should be an advertising executive, but I put her right, I'm going to be a surf bum every summer and a ski instructor every winter . She didn't have an answer to that and shoved me out of the door sharpish" I reckon she also wrote ambitionles, sports mad, daydreaming hooligan on the bottom of his page as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 These carreers things are funny - except I am doing the thing that came out as number 1 on my list when I did one of these 20 plus years ago I looked at the woman and said there is no way I would ever do anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
