Funny Things Your Children Have Said.

[Georgiesmum]

What funny things have your children said to you when they were small?

My daughter, then 3 years old came home from playschool and informed me that "black people are very distinguished and they all come from Edinburgh"

I never got to the bottom of where she got that from.

16yr old son"lend me some money, dad"
"Yeah, what do you want"
Son"Not much,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,£300 or £400."
And of course, it goes without saying, substitute 'give' for 'lend'

I took my young son to the bookshop and he quickly picked the book he wanted. I was still browsing, taking books off the shelves and putting them back again. My son, getting bored, said in a loud voice "are you going to pay this time?" I knew what he meant but I got some very strange looks.

Many years ago I exited the Mersey Tunnel, Wirral side, and there were a flock of geese flying across in front of us, one of my children suggested they might be swans, my son piped up......"they might be ostriches"

He's now 34 and his sisters still won't let him forget that comment!

This is true, so please don't censure me, anyone.

Very young nephew went to GP surgery where he saw a locum. I was talking to him afterwards and he told me the locum was an Indian (Sikh - very unusual here at that time).
I asked him how he knew, and he said 'Because he had a towel on his head'.
Me: 'Do all Indians have a towel on their head?'
Him, in a tone of utter disgust: 'No, some of them have feathers.'
Said nephew is 30 now.

Tone, I've no idea but I doubt it, she was only 3. Lol ;)

My Husband made our Daughter a grandfather clock when he retired.Our Grandson proudly took a little school friend to see it telling him that his Grandad made it when he became retarded. He is 23 now and still gets teased about it.

Second grandson wanted a co co when he was just learning to talk - it then went to cuggle - now it's a cuddle. Bless.
First grandson loved pizgettie.

Mine brought a friend in to see me "Come and see my grandma - she's OLD".

My middle child once wanted a 'Rebeccatard' (her name is Rebecca) after hearing her cousin Leah say she was getting a new leotard for gymnastics.

[maggiebee]

Grandaughter, aged about 6, said the teacher had told her she had to consultrate and read the scructions. We still use these words.

[Svejk]

Daughter when tot wanted this, that & t'other.
I said where do you think all the money comes from.
Shop she said.
I said so I get a big trolley full of food & they give me money as well.
Yes she said, looking puzzled.
Turned out, like most kids I suppose, she placed no value on paper money but valued coins (change at till)

My youngest son was referring to something and said it was small. The eldest,by two years, trying to impress said, it's minute. The youngest said let me see your newt.

My grandson informed me yesterday that 48 is well old and I should be long dead by now.

[Flyhalf]

Grandson, nearing three, was struggling to get out of something (can't remember what). I said "at last , you're free", to which he replied "no, only two"!

[grasscarp]

One of my best was when I was putting children to bed. To younger (still occasional bed wetter), I said have you been to the toilet. Response no, I havent had any drinks. Older sister came out with "But it isnt just drinks, it is waste body plasma" ?????
Smart older sister is now a barrister working for the government.

Was in B&Q with my great grandson they were giving out suflowers for kids to grow. They had to give name and age the man said to gt grandson " let me guess how old you are" quick as a flash he replied " I am 5 but when I am on the train I am only 4 as you have to pay when you are 5" wish the floor could have swallowed me. Kids!!!!!

My 3yr old goddaughter lived in the depths of the Oxfordshire country in a 12thC house with a relatively low front door.

An old Nigerian friend of my mate came to stay - over 6ft 2 high, so he filled the door......

She looked him up and down and then said
"Why are you covered in chocolate?"

And to balance this, a limo driver in Washington DC told me that they have issues with their youngsters coming out with comments about Caucasians being covered in talc/paint or being ghosts......
