From the mouths of babes

Johnny:  I want to play Mummies and Daddies, but we need a Mummy.

Me:           Shall I be the Mummy?

Johnny:  Yes.  (pause)     Why are you sitting down?

Ah yes, sometimes those little tongues speak the truth as they see it.

Have yours come up with any corkers recently?

That is so sweet. We are getting ready to go on a family trip and my two year old was on the potty a couple days ago and with the most concerned look on her face asked, "Mommy are there potties in Barbados?"

He's a perceptive little chap!

Coming back from school in sogginess today, a tiny voice drifted up from the pushchair "I'm siiiiinging in the raiiiin"

[melissa]

hehee- lovely! now you know you should sit down more often- so as not to reinforce stereotypes, of course. ;)

I am laughing so much!! How cute was that!! They sure learn quick those men in our lives!

We visited a lambing place at Easter where Isabel (4) spotted a large bull with a large ring through his nose. Discovering that it was for stopping the bull being naughty she asked if we could get one for our Daddy. I said yes!!

No 2 came home from school completely bonkers once and so naturally I asked him why he was so 'agitated'... "yes, mummy" he shouted "I feel so vegetarian today"

And he ran off.

What can you say to that?

Jack's latest "compliment" :
"Mum, your teeth are quite yellow" followed by hurt look from me which prompted "But they are"
Can't argue with that! Anyone got the name of a good dentist??

Henry (3)- are you a girl Mummy?
me (38)- yes!
Henry- you don't look like one.

[Fairlie]

That is so funny! (And so true.)

Came by straight from Alice's blog. Nice to meet you!

I hope he now has a job to do too! Maybe rubbing Mummy's sore feet would be appropriate.

[Louise]

I have just put my aching feet up and realised that I have not sat down for than 5 mins today so reading that made me laugh. I love that photo!

[periwinkle]

He got it spot on didn't he chuckle. As for comments .. too many to mention, but we all need baking helmets!!

No.2 once ran into the sitting room to excitedly tell me that 'Daddy is doing YOUR washing up!'

Says it all.

Loved Johnny's observational quip. x

Grace asked me if I was going to brush my hair before we left the house the other day. I had spent ages making my usually straight hair curly. Wish I hadn't bothered!!

On my Mother's Day card, my first-grader said, "My mom's favorite thing to do is - nothing." I guess that's kind of true these days. Sad but true!

[Lesley]

Nice to know your hard work is recognised!

I am showing my son an air bubble in a bottle of water, rotating it to show how the bubble moves
"No mum, don't move it. It's called "Still" water. You've got to keep it still"

Here's one that echoes around in my brain a week after it was said. Eilidh was asked to clear up the lunch table and groaned it wasn't fair because Mum wasn't helping. I said Mum cooks and cleans and shops and so forth, and so on, so the least she could do is put her plate in the dishwasher.

Wow, replied Eilidh. Mum must have a really boring life.
