The things kids say

My 4 year old still does this, I was always suprised in the sort of people that spoke back, Strangely it was either teenagers or old people, ages from about 30 to 50 just ignored him.

Does not take a lot to be polite.

My 4yo wants to talk to everyone. One of her tricks is to put her teddy bear on the conveyor belt at Tesco. Very few of the checkout girls will play along with her, but she loves it if they "beep" him on the scanner and get her to pay for him.
 
My daughter asked me to explain 'gerbil warning' this morning at breakfast. We all laughed and then after I'd explained it was 'global warming' she said 'we should warn the gerbils anyway'

:D T-shirt worthy quote that. "We should warn the gerbils anyway". Would be a difficult t-shirt to explain though. :o

Amazing how many people blatantly blank her, though when all they have to do is smile...

Scared of being labelled PDF files maybe? 'Tis a shame.

I'm glad I'm a female shortarse, I could never look threatening - have [;ayed peekaboo with countless children in queues and smiled at parents who have sweet children.

Some are horrible little things, but it can't be helped...
 
Awww, i want a kid now :(

My younger brother used to say the funniest things but can't remember any of them.

I think children should rung the country, their logic is so much better then ours.
 
My daughter had a quite a few good ones when she was a toddler. Some that stick in the mind:

"Mummy, do you do *all* the work?" - my wife loved that one!

"How does the colour get from the pencil onto the paper?"

"If I drop something, why does it fall down?"

"Where was god before he made the world?"

and the ever popular "Why is the sky blue?"

She also used to call vinegar, vingeningar and a computer, competooter. :)
 
My boy used to call the pc a scompapooter and the ladder to the top of his cabin bed his yadder.

He also used to call our lass's best mate nicola niggar. Quite embarrassing in a crowded place!
 
Pootling around the Bullring shopping centre and this lady wearing a Burka gets into our lift. Little one - "Err why is that lady dressed as Darth Vadar" - me "Err I think we'll get out now!"
 
Trying to explain B&W photos to my five yr old was fun.

-'Daddy, why was there no colour when great grandma was a girl?'
-'Because there wasn't colour photography back then sweetheart.'
-'So everything was black and white then - even rainbows'.
-'No, everything had colour, just not in photographs.'

Looking puzzled she then asked 'So why is wizard (wizard of Oz) in black and white then colour?'

My ten year old then joined in the conversation and settled it by stating that the wizard made everything colour which seemed to please my little girl.....and me :),

Were you inspired by Calvin & Hobbes, or is it just a coincidence? ;)
 
My daughter is 21 months old and goes to Daycare during the week. This happened two weeks ago as were leaving the Daycare to go home.

Daughter : "Daddy. Where's my ******?"

Me : :eek: "You can't say that! Who taught you that?"

Carer : *gives me odd look and picks up something from the play area* "Here's your necklace"

Me : "Ah, 'necklace', that's okay then." :o

Carer : :confused:


Yeah, I'd misheard her.
 
My niece is 5 on Friday I was looking after her and getting out a tray from the oven she tocuhed it and it burnt her finger, only slightly so wrapped on some kitchen roll with cold water and taped it on, she then wanted to play out so i was playing with her in the street and she knows how to use an Iphone.

She knows how to operate an Iphone, from angry birds to ipod to camera.

Crazy
 
Hmm, one of my earliest memories was from when I was 3 (?! had to be, we'd just moved into our house).

My parents were scolding my sister who was storming up the stairs after they bellowed "..GO TO YOUR ROOM!!"

I looked up from my toys and yelled "YEAH YOU [illegitamate child]!!!"

Got smacked hard that day.
