The things kids say...

Post: # 61413Post Stonehead »

The Wee 'Un went in to the school nursery today for an introductory hour (he starts after the holidays) and promptly dropped me in it.

He found the water tub and was happily pouring water into various bottles, shaking them and then pouring the water into other bottles. One of the nursery teachers came over to ask what he was doing...

"I'm making potions."

"Oh, what kind of potions?"

"Love potions."

"What's that for?"

Cue a long look at the teacher, then "So the girls love you of course."

Long pause.

"Pa can't get girlfriends because he's a hairy minger. But he got mummy with a love potion."

Arggh! :oops: :oops: :oops: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

He was vastly amused by this while the teacher didn't know what to say. I just told him he was a cheeky devil and he laughed, saying "I know".

Drove past the Angel of the North on th way to Dover, and pointed it out to our eldest (7).

His response? "Why haven't they finished it yet?"

I love the potion story :lol: :lol: :lol:

My wee one is too young to say anything but my nephew at nusery...

Nursery teacher : does anyone have any pets?

Nephew : Yes wee have a Cat

Nursery teacher : and whats your cat's name?

Nephew : His name is Benny and he is dead.

My sister had to be pulled to one side later to be asked about it all, I think they had been looking at old photos or something (the cat had died when he was around 10 months old)

Another funny moment came last week with the Big Lad (7). He'd just discovered an old jar of hair gel of his mum's and had been playing with it, spiking his hair up, down and around while checking the result in the bathroom mirror.

Finally, he emerged from the bathroom and strutted up to me to announce: "I am the dog's b******s."

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I had to work very hard not to burst out laughing and to maintain a very impressed look, before fleeing to crack up where he couldn't see or hear me. (He would have been mortified if I'd laughed in front of him.)

And no, the language doesn't come from me. :oops:

I had to fill out one of those 'getting to know your child' type questionaires ready for No2 Son start school in September, The questions what make your child happy/excited/sad were easy to answer
'what makes your child upset' I thought I'd ask him-
his answer
"that all the dinosaurs are extinct"!
how many questionaires will have that answer?! Later on were questions about favourite bedtime reading book- Max's are the comic book versions of The Iliad and The Odessey as it has lots of fighting in and graphic stabs in the eye (Polyphemous) and thats exactly why he likes them....what are they gonna expect from us?

A while ago we were heading North along the coast.
I said to my daughter "look - theres a ferry"
She looked at it scornfully and said "thats not a ferry - its got nae wings!"
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

after refitting my bathroom and trying to fix all those niggling leaks you get and finally doing it the toilet started to leak...that hadn't been changed!

My son then comes rushing in and says

'I have fixed the shower' :shock:

'oh' I say

'What have you done?'

He replies

'I have peeled all that that glue stuff off round it'

:roll:

Then thinking on my feet I ask

'Have you been "fixing" the toilet too?'

'yes, mummy!' :roll: :roll: :roll:

Yep, started again with the sealant and given strict to him instructions not to fix anything else!
