The things children say...

i was at a campsite last year where there was a skin head covered in tattoos with a huge purple birthmark or post operational scar on his head, my 4 year old shouts dad whys that man got a purple head (i cringed and ducked behind the car expecting a filling in)

also other week went to out of hours with my youngest and my 4 year old proceeded to ask why the doctor was brown...

embarrased to say the least

I was discussing with my (then) 5 year old Son whether to go to the New Forest or the Isle of Wight for our camping trip.....New forest - Ponies, lots of trees etc. Isle of Wight - across the sea lots of beaches etc. Finally I asked him where he wanted to go camping and he said............. "In a tent!"

Can't fault his logic.

When my sister was little, my mum & dad would tell her that cabbage would make her pretty...

... Me, mum, dad & sister shopping for sisters school shoes in Clarkes.
The checkout girl says to my sister "You're a pretty girl aren't you."
My sister replies "Its because i eat my cabbage."
Checkout girl: "I don't like cabbage."
Yes, you guessed it
My sister: "Well, that's why you're ugly then."

Me & my dad just ran away and cried with laughter & left my mum to stand there

reading through this thread I've come to the logical conclusion that the world would be a better place if children were running it!

My 5 year old daughter was watching Deadly 60 on CBBC which is presented by Steve Backshall who is very well built and it my wife's words he's buff. She calls through to my wife and says "Mummy what are those bumps on his arms? Dad doesn't have them"

Same daughter when she was about 3, I took her to the toilet in a pub, (now we have taught our kids all the correct words for body parts so she knows them all) she was sitting on the loo and I was in the cubicle door as there was not enough room to in the cubicle for me as well. A man walks in to the urinals and is just about to start and Freya pipes up"He's a man daddy, he has a penis" cue man getting stage fright and having to leave the the loo without having a wee. I was trying to not to laugh.

We were stuck in traffic, with my 4year old (at the time) daughter in the back.
I spotted a young man sitting on a roof, playing his guitar, looking like a cool dude.
"Look up there Annie." say's I
She looked for a few seconds, and then said "He wont get any money sitting up there"

My son used to say that I used lots of "square" words when I got cross and thought he couldn't hear. I like the idea of square words!

"Don't poke your tummy button." said big sister to little brother in the bath. "That's where God blew you up!"

My mum used to say "If you play with your belly button, your bum will fall off!"

My youngest Jack when he was little he use to come out with some pearlers We went to the coast and went to the public Baths a minibus full of Nigerians came in to the pool Jack kept staring at them then he would bunk his head underwater over and over again then in a loud voice said "There black all over" he thought that black people where only black from the neck up and the rist down. Not long after that one day he turned to me and asked " Dad when did the World turn in to colour" so I said what do you mean he said "In the the olden days everything was in black and white in the World when did it turn in to colour" and not forgeting the turning to his mother in a que in the butcher shop and saying in a very loud voice " That Lady has got massive boobs" He is now 20 years old and just as cheeky.

As he was being very serious at the time. I was grinning all day with that one.
