    In mass yesterday with my 2 and they were passing around the basket. Gave my 2 kids 2 euro each to put in, my 5 year old son puts it in and I turn to my 3 year old daughter. She says at the top of her voice "Jesus has enough money, look at that big bag" and puts the 2 euro in her pocket. Whole back of the church in hysterics except some grumpy old woman who couldn't believe I let her keep it.

    Drew a euphamistic picture of his mother giving me big boobs and long legs.

    Also taught me to sing ring around the rosy in a foreign language.

    Question from 3 year old daughter: 'Daddy, what are chins for?'

    Damned if I know!


    Many years ago, my three-year-old (he's 14 now) bounded into our bedroom, stuck his face right in front of mine (me being on the side of the bed near the door), and sez:

    "Dad, what's life?"

    My wife pulled the duvet over her head and said "Good luck, you're on your own with that one, mister." :eek:



    More recently (two nights ago to be precise), he called me into his room and said "Giz a hug." So I walked over to oblige, and as I put my arms around him he let go with the most incredibly noisy fart, and then went into a fit of the giggles.

    I almost collapsed from laughing. It certainly wasn't out of the book of cute and endearing, but in its own way it was quite a gift from a teenage boy to his oul' man. biggrin.gif

    2yr old announced this morning 'daddy i fixed you poo-tee-er' (computer) :eek:
    so this evening the 'poo-tee-er' was not working, 'what happened?' 4yr old 'my little sister put some apple into it' :eek:
    Cue one unhappy daddy and a smile from me saying 'she put some apple in your pc' hehe. he is not impressed.
    Not so funny that my tea tasted of coconut this evening - very puzzling as there is no coconut in the house. Lump of playdough in the bottom of my teapot - yuck, will be checking in furture.

    The 21-month old, who's been a "challenge" from Day 1 walked around the room today & gave Nanna, Granda & the Uncles a big hug & kiss. I never thought I'd see the day.

    Was going to post a similar thread, and found this one when I went looking to see if there already was one.

    So just bumping it up the list again. :)

    I'm sure there were a bunch from today, nothing coming to mind though.

    But last night-

    My son acts as though he hates his little sister most of the time.
    Never stops giving out to her and about her, and complaining about how annoying she is.

    Last night when I was going to bed, I peeped into their rooms as I do every night.

    My son wasn't in his room.
    I was fully sure I was going to find him at the telly or xbox, so I was a bit annoyed.

    Looked everywhere, and finally found him asleep in my daughters bed holding her hand :)

    Little girl is 14 months, and yesterday we popped next door for tea with my neighbour and her little baby who is around 9 months. I never even said the little girls name, but when my little one turned around and saw her she grinned and let out a big "Hi Taty!!"

    Shes never done that before, it was so cute! :)

    This morning, my 20 month old son picked up a copy of our Pirates Of The Carribean DVD, held it up to me and said "Aaaar!" in a little pirate type voice.

    So funny! :D

    This morning my husband let go of some gas & our 21-month old looked at him crossly & said "da-ddy!" :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,538 ✭✭✭flutterflye


    I said to my 3 year old daughter "we need to get daddy a present because tomorrow is father's day".

    A while later she comes downstairs with a bag of toys from her room saying "ho, ho, ho, I am christmas man. I have presents for daddy"

    Took me a minute to realise she meant Santa! :)

    My 14 month old is too young to tell me she loves me, but she's learning to show it! She kept following me arond allday, crawling up to me, looking me in the eye, then resting her head on my chest or my knee for a few seconds, then looking up at me again and repeat. It was so sweet!

    I'm sorry now. There are lots and lots of lovely stories in here that makes you break out in an ear-splitting grin but I actually nearly wet myself reading that one. Seriously, tears of laughter. Please tell your son he's a legend!

    Lovely thread by the way. Just an idea but for some of you who regularly contribute to the thread, wouldn't it be lovely to get all your posts from here, print them off and show them to your kids sometime in the future?

    I keep a simple list in an MS Word document of all the funny thinks she says, like when she told me last week of her friend in school who couldn't eat bread or sandwiches and her Dad has to buy her wraps every day 'cos she's a catholic. I look forward to handing over the MS Word document in the future.

    A work colleague of my husbands called to our house last Thursday evening and our five year old asked him who he was etc. He replied, My name is X and I'm a friend of your dads, we work together.

    The following morning she is at pre-school and it is her turn to give her news to the rest of the class and she says "My daddy has a boyfriend, his name is X and he called to our house last night".

    As luck would have it my husband was doing the school pickup that day and the ladies running the pre-school gave him one hell of a slagging!

    "No, is, you is my skivvy!" says she!!!

    I have an almost 18 month old son and i'm pregnant with no 2. So last night, he was sitting in his booster seat at the table after having supper. I was standing beside his chair. I was feeling a bit indigested so was rubbing my stomach. Himself reaches over, rubs my stomach and then leans over and gives it a big kiss... :D
