    A few gems from my nearly 6year old daughter.....


    'You know when 2 men Marry? Do they actually you know kiss'?

    To me in front of shop assistant as Im paying for a bottle of wine, 'you really are drinking loads of wine lately'

    'When was the last time you and Dad did mouth to mouth? Was it on your wedding day?'

    She's not too bother by myself and siblings being married but she finds the fact that my brother has a girlfriend is hilarious... Obviously she feels girlfriends/ boyfriends are much more fun and interesting than husbands or wives


    Tis no wonder I'm grey

    I'm 26 weeks pregnant and my almost 18 month old daughter has become fascinated with the baby in my belly. She pulls up my top to give the bump and hug and a kiss. Then she asks me to kiss the baby in her belly too.
    Last weekend she tried to give the baby brekkie by pushing toast into my belly button

    Came home with a mothers day card from montessori, it had question and answer section which detailed that I liked to drink wine and I feel sad when the toddler slaps me! Morto!

    5 year old asking me how to knit so that she can make her barbie a woolly hat and scarf. Apparantly none of barbie's outfits are warm enough.

    Lol. Hope she still thinks about warm clothes when she is a teenager!

    My 6 year old son was in the car yesterday and he likes to know the badges of other cars on the road.

    Son: "What kind of car is that in front of us Daddy?"

    me: "Oh, that's an Opel, do you like it?"

    Son: "Oh, I'm just thinking about what car I'll buy when i'm older... Yeah, I think I'll buy a Tank."

    My 4 year old was lying on the couch swinging her legs around. I told her to be careful as she nearly kicked me in the face. Her reply was : "mama, it's just that my foot likes your face"

    I had to stop myself from laughing... She has an answer for everything these days!

    My eleven month old has really good comprehension - she was shaking her almost empty bottle around listening to the sloshing and I said "mind your head" - because I said head she looked at me and bonked herself on the head with it. Couldn't help laughing which made her do it again!

    Checked in on my little man and he was talking in his sleep. Next thing he roars "Spiderman, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself!" I was doubled over laughing.

    My 2 and a half year old is a little behind with words and pronunciation. Which means that clock is pronounced without the "L". Loudly.

    (In a coffee shop, pointing at the wall)

    " ahhhh - COCK!!!"

    My 3 year old loudmouth and I were in the viewing area watching her older brother and a group of others at swimming lessons when she asked "mammy, why does that boy have boobs?" I couldn't look around for the hour in case that child's parent was there.

    That actually reminds me of a time I was in my brothers house and my little lad would have been about 2 at the time and his cousin (female) would have been around 3. She saw me changing his nappy and said 'how come D has a tail' haha.
    They are 17 and 18 now. I must tell them that story :D:D

    I was showing my 5yo images of a mobile home like one we have booked for holidays, and she worrying asked "Where's the Telly" I said messing shocked "We are getting on a ferry, driving 5 hours in a car to a mobile home that has a play ground and swimming pool at the front and sea and beach at the back and you want a telly, get out of that!" To which she replied "We could wear our swimming togs watching it"


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,937 ✭✭✭implausible


    I told my 3 year old I'd give her a (food) surprise when we got home if she was good in the shop. When we got back into the car, she demanded to know immediately what the surprise was. I told her I wouldn't tell her, because it was a surprise and she'd find out when she got home.

    Small child logic prompted this response:"Well, mammy, if you don't tell me, I won't eat it!"

    "But, that means if I don't tell you, you won't get any surprise."

    "I don't care. I won't eat it!"

    *five minutes later, child is tearing into a Milky Bar and I'm still confused as to how she managed to win that one.

    After Easter my children were telling my mother about their easter eggs and Nana wanted to chat about the real meaning of Easter....

    Children: we got eggs for Easter!

    Nana : why?

    Children: cos lent is over

    Nana: who was in desert for 40days?

    Children: ................ I dunno...... Bear Grylls??

    My poor mother! I'd say we are a continuous disappointment to her. Thankfully the cute grandchildren win her over every time

    I set up a mini school in my classroom today for Aistear (playtime). It was so cute, the children imitated me something shocking! The best part was when I was looking at the copies after school and they had gone around marking the pictures the other children drew. They had ticks, smiley faces, an attempt at the date and stickers! Adorable :)

    We were sat watching an episode of friends this evening (the one where Rachel is in labour in the hospital).

    Anyways my 6yo is sitting beside me. (He hate to stay up til 8... half an hour later than his brother). Enter Janice and she laughs.

    And my 6yo announces "she sounds like a dolphin" with a bemused look on his face. Well we cracked up!!!

    My little fella is obsessed with Toy Story. So anyway, I had "You've got a friend in me" stuck in my head, inevitably, and I started singing it to him. He said "No mammy, it's "You've got a friend in Nimes" (This makes more sense to him because Nimes (pronounced "neem") is a town not too far from us where we have family). I cracked up!

    "So, the Lion, Leo, goes over to the crab but doesn't like it, so he eats the twins and helps Orion the hunter to fight the Bull" This may sound like a mad story but it's my 4 year old's take on the constellations between Leo and Taurus in the night sky! He loves the Skyview app. It really has piqued his imagination. A little Astronomer in the making!

    5 year old son was talking about marriage.

    Mammy: So do you want to marry someone when you're older?
    Son: Yes, I want to marry you Mammy
    Mammy: You can't marry your mammy
    Son (with little enthusiasm): I suppose it will have to be Hannah then.
