    There's an ad on the tv lately for one of the financial institutions about what people are saving up for, and my 8 year old son very seriously replies to the tv: "my first car".
    My god, talk about planning for your future!

    Have seen that ad my daughter shouts disneyland and son a digger so funny!

    Reading 3 little pigs to my 3 yr old son and 17 month old daughter...She waddles to the window, looks out and says "No wolf"
    3 year old son fills in the blanks when I warble the theme tune to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

    We were in Tayto Park last weekend. So our 3 year old's favourite story, Jack & The Beanstalk, now has to be told as Mr Tayto and the Beanstalk. He insists I call the mother "Mammy Potato" and the old stranger "Old Potato"

    my 6 yr old nephew ran around the garden blissfully unaware that his home-made plane was constructed from a big blue tampon box.

    Did it have little white mice as passengers?

    :P

    My 3 year old was hiding out under our bed this morning "being a rat". Any time I looked under he hissed and bore his front teeth. Pretty convincing.

    Then out of the blue when I was brushing my teeth he started whingeing from beneath the bed about how he doesn't want the police to "come into this house."

    There's a joke in there somewhere about rats and the gardai that I can't quite get a hold of.

    :) hes a bit of a mad one,

    He keeps quoting the italian job made in the 60s... every so often he'll say
    'you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off'

    at bedtime, he says 'ain't nobody got time for that'

    he lived in the USA for a few yrs, the kids channel there switched to adult cartoons like family guy or american dad at about 7pm...

    So while on an escalator in a mall in the US, his mother tries to get him up the escalator and he stops dead and shouts at the top of his voice...

    'no, you can suck your own boobies'

    mortified and tv banned after 7pm

    Playing a game where I give the first letter and they have to name a food beginning with that letter.

    Me: G
    Littlest: Giraffe
    Me: It begins with G but we can't eat a giraffe
    Littlest: Yes you can. You cut it up into pieces this size (makes a 30cm diameter circle with hands) and that makes crepes.

    I had a reminder to myself written on my hand. My 2 year old started babbling and pointing when she saw it and went running out of the room. I didn't know what she was up to until she came back with a towel and tried to wipe my hand clean. Very cute.

    My niece was out the back with her grandad when he called in to me to ask the score of the rugby match. I shouted out it's 16-12 to Munster and she starts screaming "Monster! Monster! We have to run away" and started running in circles and running into the bushes!

    My almost 2.5 year old got her first birthday invitation in the post today, she hasn't let it out of her hand or stopped talking about it since. It's very cute but It's going to be a long week until Tuesday!

    My daughter is 9days old and we are having great fun watching all the facial expressions. The "smiles" which aren't really smiles but I pretend they are, the fierce concentration when a poop is coming and the wide eyed, mouth in the O shape expression when she is awake and alert and just looking around.

    Her daddy spends his time stealing kisses and I am in serious danger of eating this babies cheeks and just gobbling her up in general, so in love.

    The 4 year old and the 5 year old coming up the stairs at 8:30am.... The 5 year old says: "Will you ask her? Because you're always the one that gets given out to"!

    I thought she was going to say, "You're always the one that gets what you want".

    (She waited outside the door, while he asked.. out of the way of the 'giving out'!)

    They were looking for ice-pops!!


    Also, the 7 year old has been very sick with a stomach bug the last few nights. Last night, after another bout into 'the bowl', just as he was starting to fall back asleep he said "I just love you so much. I don't even know what to say about you".

    That makes the sleepless nights and the cleaning up that bit easier... :)

    Had a bad two weeks of a vomiting bug here and now the wee man has decided that he wants to be toilet-trained. Suffice to say, I'm really sick of cleaning up bodily fluids from furniture at this stage!

    Yesterday, when I went into the sitting-room, I found him looking guiltily at a stain on the carpet. Trying my best not to sound too cross, I said "oh, have you made a mess?". The reply? Arms out by his sides: "it's only pee mammy, it's only pee" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    "it's only pee mammy, it's only pee" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Thank God, for small mercies!!

    19 month old dropping soothers into the new borns cot, that's cute.
    Also, it's nice to see him mature around the baby. A week ago, we feared for the worst. He does a little dance now every time he see's her face.

    Gas, I get the same! Imagine, back in the day we had to wait for a programme to come on. My wee man cannot understand why everything isn't on demand!

    My 4yr old daughter decided to ask me some questions about marriage, 'do you love daddy' 'do you think he is...ah..ah hand some' 'does he think you are pretty' (yes, very and you better ask him) 'will i get married when I grow up' (i hope you do, i hope you meet someone you love and are very happy) 'and i could meet a man or a lady that i love and marry them, can't I mommy?' (why yes darling you can)
    long may it last

    My 16 month old decided to eat everything yesterday, including a huge biryani before bed (normally picky) and woke up with a nappy bomb. She woke me by shoving a clean nappy and packet of wipes into my face this morning:cool:

    My 2 year old was kicking up murder a couple of weeks back. When I went in to the room to find out what was wrong, it turned out that The Simpsons had gone on a break for ads and she wanted my Mam to put them back on. She's lucky we're not in the States - she'd go nuts if there were ads every 5 minutes.

    3 year old goes hiding under the bed in the spare room from time to time. I was getting ready this morning and started to make little puppy dog sounds for the laugh to see what he'd do.

    Him: "Hello little doggie. Do you want to play with me under the bed? I promise I won't chop you up!"

    My imaginary puppy started whimpering in fear and no number of "I'm a good guy!" pleading from under the bed could calm him.


    (Actually, after typing that up I think it's clear where he gets it from...)

    My daughter was dressed up for a night out, her 12 y.o. sons friend called for him, she explained he gone away with the scouts for the w/e.
    He returned a few minutes later and shyly said, "you look really pretty, please don't tell anyone I said it".


  • Administrators Posts: 14,058 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Big Bag of Chips


    Didn't make me smile... but....

    I collected my 4 year old and his friend from playschool. The 2 of them were playing together in our house when my fella said to her "You smell of smoke".

    She lives in a house with 3 smoking adults, and this was after 3 hours in playschool.

    :(

    My 3yr old girl was showing signs of being very scared of spiders, worms flies
    etc
    So lately I've been telling her that there is nothing to be scared of usual stuff

    Today in doctors waiti g room she turned to me and said 'I saw a worm in my room, I wasn't scared'
    Me : ' that's great '
    Her :' I killed it, he's dead now'

    Cue much nervous laughter from other patients .
