loriusgarrulus Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 When our daughter was ten we went to the local tropical fish shop. They had some tropical freshwater crabs in and we bought two for the aquarium. Daughter was so excited about these crabs. When we got home she saw some of her friends playing out on the street. As soon as she got out of the car she went running up the street to her friends shouting at the top of her voice. "WE'VE GOT CRABS" We will never let her forget this.

pegasus bridge Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I watched a bbc 3 documentary with my 8 year old daughter recently, it was about poverty from a childs perspective , it wasn't so much funny what she said, but it made me chuckle and feel proud: family in London, apparently in extreme poverty , kids eating noodles for days on end etc, without any prompting from me, my daughter said - why have they got a big dog if they can't afford to feed the children and live in a flat! At 8 years old my daughter already demonstrated better reasoning than the mother on the documentary!!! The natural Tory in me was proud as punch !!!

welshwarrior Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 While out walking the dog near a local pig farm recently my 3 year old was looking at the tractors as boys do a tree hugger type stopped close to us to let other pass, politely we passed the time of day she said to my lad "do you like pigs" his reply "crackle (what he calls crackling) is hummy in my tummy!" She looked very shocked and walked on must have been a vegan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 When my son was young and tried mushy peas for the first time he said " I don't like these, I want them one at a time"..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickS Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Some years ago, I was clearing out my garage with the "help" of my 3yo daughter and would comment "that's dead" before throwing into the skip. A few months later, when I was told that my Dad had died, I went to tell her that we wouldn't be seeing Grandad again as he had died. Her response - "that's sad. Shall we put him in the skip?" It was one of those funny-sad moments that kids seem to provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camojohn Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 The company I worked for organised an open day. So I invited a few friends and family to see what I did for a living. When we got there my boss showed us round and while passing a photo copier with piles of paper by it, my 8 year old son says in a loud voice “Daddy is that where you get all the paper I use for my drawing and paper planes”. With a red face in front of my boss,I did some quick thinking and replied “no son it all comes out of the rubbish bins” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike737 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 About 35 years ago, in the car with my wife, her mother and our approx. 4 year old daughter. We pass an old Victorian school in Harehills in Leeds, and M in L says 'That's the school I used to go to Jenny', to my daughter. She replied 'Wow it's a wonder it's still standing'. M in L's face was picture... Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
