From The Mouths Of Babes

Post by Delorean »

Kids can say the darndest things! So what are some funny things your kids have said?

I have learnt from my 3yo son that seagulls don't have webbed feet, they are in fact wearing 'duck shoes'.

At a trip to a wildlife park a few months ago he referred to the swan, (probably because of its long, black neck) as a 'snake duck'.

And not long ago he was in my bedroom with me and made a piercing squealing noise. I said, "What are you doing that for?" He replied, "that's mums cooking thing." Puzzled, I asked him to show me and he led me through the house to the dining area where he pointed to the ceiling- at the smoke alarm! :wah:

Ok, I admit- it might have gone off once or twice, but it's not like we get charcoal for tea every night! :-2

I'm impressed you've not taken the battery out (of the alarm, not the infant). Electricians round these parts have taken to wiring fire alarms into the mains to stop householders living without.

You left off the sucklings.

Wiring them in is on my landlords "to do" list. I'd rather have a smoke alarm that goes off now and again than not have one at all. And at least I know it works. :)

Sucklings? :confused:

Oh, I wasn't even aware it formed part of a bible quote :-2

:wah:

My son hurt his ankle and said, 'mum, I hurt my foot elbows!'

And the other week he was jumping on my bed and fell over (onto the bed, not the floor) and sat there and said so forlornly, 'My feelings! I hurt my feelings!'

They make you laugh, you could write a dictionary full of the words they come out with!
