I was sitting on the beach in Devon with my four year old grand-daughter who was wrapped in a towel, the rest of the clan were down at the riverside. Her fifth birthday was a few days away and I said to her. 'Lottie, when are you five', she thought for a second or two the replied, 'When Iv'e finished being four'. Can't beat it can you. (She is now twenty). Sorry Folks.

Pamela, I love that, I'd have had to hide too!!
My now 13 year old son, on being in trouble at school for his handwriting again, in exasperation said to us and his teacher "well there's no point in writing Miss, I am better than you on the computer you said, I'll use that" He did get told off for being rude, but he does have a point in this techno age - and his writing still hasn't improved much!

Back again with another one. My youngest grand-daughter started school this summer, and has been getting home-work from the start. The other day she came home and her Mom went into her school bag to find that todays home-work was to learn the word "EAT". So she said to Kelsey,"Todays word is something you do every day", & "you do it all the time", to which Kelsey replied, "MOAN". Its great what kids come out with, isnt it ?
 
I've just remembered when Mom sent me to the butcher's for some belly draft but I was embarrassed to say "belly" and asked for tummy pork, they thought it was so funny!

I had visitors yesterday, the children went outside in the garden and said it was "sick"! Apparently that means they loved it! It's got a bit wild and overgrown this year, not like the well-kept gardens they are used to.

We were in the Hospital waiting area and a lady was trying to keep her son occupied by asking him questions from a book. He was doing well until she asked "What's a carnivore?" He replied "It's like Halloween"! I presume he thought she said carnival!
rosie.
 
Our grandson wanted to visit us at our b and b because the lady kept lots of kitchens. (chickens).
Nan never let mum live anything down as she said as a child, I got cataargh all over my shoe. (tar).
 
Presenter on radio this morning said he went shopping with his lad on Saturday and whilst looking around the veg. stall asking what they should have, his son asked him if he wanted any 'Man get out'. Of course dad hadn't a clue until he took him to it, and then explained it was a French word. Hope you've all got it.
 
My friend's daughter now 40, was learning a song from her Nan, when she was about 3 or 4, The oak and the ash and bonny rowan tree, are all a growing greener in my own (coun ter ee) country. Little Laura sang, The oak and the ash and the bunny rabbit tree.
 
Talking to the grand daughter about cooking her Nan said to her...he can’t cook. I said, “men are good cooks haven’t you seen them on the Tele?” She said, “yes but you would be no good cause you are a spilling person.”
 
Our granddaughter likes to wear her majarpers. And she likes to hear about the olden times when I was little.

We were sitting round the table planning a day excursion by train. My wife commented that our youngest could go free because of her age. The discussion continued and we realised that the youngest was sobbing. "What's the matter?"
"You said there was nothing for me, so I can't come with you!"
 
My middle son had picked up the mild swear word from school and had been told off for using it, which really got up his nose. He fished out his cheap Tonka toy copies, which had the brand name "Buddy L", and from then on, whenever he felt like swearing, he would wander around clutching one of them muttering in a loud voice, "Buddy 'ell!, Buddy 'ell!, Buddy 'ell!" :)

Maurice :cool:

My ex colleague who was very loose tongued, told me her little girl said to her, "aaaargh mum you said a square word!"
 
When my granddaughter was eight she told me that she had joined the choir at school they practised during the lunch break, then a couple of weeks later I asked how's the choir lessons going. She said I packed that in a few days ago all they do is sing I had no answer to that.
 
Our Grandchildren are here this week, they have ceated an imaginery restaurant and have been creating menus. Our Granddaughter asked could she use our stapelizer. And that her dad just said a curly word.
 
It's a strange restaurant as my 3 courses were only £1.50p but Granny's was £10.50. And we had to pay while we were eating, with invisible money, (they tried that one on me before,) but we gave a donation to charity. For the refurbishment, a new word for them and the needy.
They had been in town and there were lots of people begging and the granddaughter says I don't know if they were really needy or just scammy people that will just go off and buy drink with it, like daddy!
 
I switched on the TV to keep my little grand-daughter amused. It was in the middle of a wild-life programme. 'Grand-dad what are those?' she asked. Whales I replied. There was then a long pause and a puzzled look on her face. Eventually she said 'That can't be right - Great Granny lives in Wales'!
