The Things Kids Say
32 Answers
It always amuses me to hear of the things kids say when they are growing up and would love to hear the things you remember. I'll start by saying; when my eldest daughter was little she couldn't say beefburgers, she called them burfbingers ( I think it was a mix of beefburgers and fish fingers) and because it amused us, we called them that too. Went into the butchers one day and asked for 6 burfbingers and honestly couldn't remember for what seemed a long time, the proper name! Very embarrassing.

Gran- "because I am old"
Daughter- "why have you got grey hair?"
Gran- "because I am old"
Daughter- "so why are you still not dead then?"
We have never really let her forget it :-)

One of my granddaughters, when little, was a big fan of 'In the Night Garden' and she loved her cuddly toy Makka Pakka. In the Trafford Centre one day, she was skipping about waving her toy and shouting Makki Pakki. Never seen my daughter move so fast to grab her and explain the real name of the toy.
Taking my 5 year old son around the National History Museum in South Kensington. We came to the Evolution of Man section and there were various stages of life sized apes and Neanderthals etc.
My son wandered off to a glass case and at the top of his voice yelled,"Dad this mans got a willy just like yours"
There was a lady with two children within earshot and she turned and gave me what I thought was quite an appreciative smile. :-)

At the end of my daughter's first year at school she came home and said that her teacher had told them they would have a new teacher the following year because she was emigrating to Canada. They all had to look out for her aeroplane and they would know which one was hers because it would have an "Imagination" on the tail. This completely baffled us until a few days later when she corrected it to "Make believe" on the tail and then it twigged - Make believe = maple leaf = Canadian emblem.
My son is an avid reader and often when he was small we'd go into the local bookshop for him to buy more books. While he was choosing I browsed through a number of books and eventually my son joined me. I was still removing, glancing through and replacing the books and my son, having made his selection was anxious to go. In a loud voice he eventually said "Dad, are you going to pay for the book this time?" I knew what he meant, was I going to buy the book I was holding, but everybody turned and gave me a very dirty look. It was a long time before I returned to that shop again.
Never mind what kids say I was doing the housework one day and put a CD on our player, which could take 6 CD's at a time. It came to an end and I thought the little display said NOD 15c. Puzzled for a while and gave up and asked my son what it meant, he gave me a strange look ' it says No disc Mum, I've never been allowed to forget it.
