Funny Things Children Say

Yet another gem from my wonderful son!!

 

We were sitting at the table eating dinner yesterday and yet again I was encouraging to use his knife and fork, telling him all about how when we go out to eat in retaurants that we have to use our knives and forks as it is good manners and the more you practice it, the easier it gets.

 

His reply "but mum we're not posh like Auntie Patricia, so we don't need to!!" :o

 

How do I answer that?? lol

On our trip to the farm we went past a field and a child exclaimed 'is that weetabix? do they just pull it of the top?' if only it was that easy!

My 6 yr old on the way to school today, having noticed the flashing green indicator arrow on my dashboard........

." If you get lost, it's ok, you just have to follow the arrows".

She thinks my indicators are for my benefit and not for other drivers, bless :o

Two old but good I thought..

 

Last Christmas, children dressed up however they wanted for party - aduldts optional. I decided to get into the spirit and dressed as a Christmas fairy - as I arrived back after lunch in full regalia I was greeted with cries of appreciation from several children admiring my sparkly outfit "Mrs C you look beautiful, what are you?" "Well I'm the fairy off the top of the Christmas tre" said I beaming before a loud voice from the other side of the room piped up "For goodness sake get a grip! You're a GROWN UP!" Put me in my place good and proper :)

 

Many moons ago Y1 child - very able - wrote in News book:

"Last night I wanted a drink and when I went downstairs Mummy and Daddy were sunbathing in front of the fire and I had to go back to bed."

Best thing was next night was Parents' Evening where they could come in and see their child's work, they made a very quick exit poor loves!

Whilst in the car, son had a headache and asked for a drink, I passed him his drinks bottle, he took a mouthful then put his head down low near his knees. What are you doing? I asked. I'm trying to get the drink to my headache, he replied. :( bless

That's brilliant Dudette! Reminds me of a Harvest Festival display I was producing many years ago for the main school hall in readiness for our special assembly featuring the Bishop (C of E school) Was standing back to admire finished article when realised that the grapes were clearly labelled "A bunch of juicy craps"........was sooo tempted to leave it and see if anyone noticed!

hello everybody, i have just joined the forum, and found this thread, which made me smile!

 

I work in a C of E school in reception, and it was our first assembly with the local priest.

I sat them all down in rows as the priest (old with a beard) sat at the front ready to start, when a little girl tapped me on the leg and innocently asked "Miss Robbins, is that Jesus?", i tried not to laugh and told her it wasn't and she demanded "well who is it then?!"

hahaaa i was trying to hold the laughter in all assembly!!! x

There's a new girl coming to my 6 year old's school, and when I asjked him if he could remember her name, he said 'Um... Tiger'. When I asked his teacher, saying I would have to apologise to him if that was her name, she laughed 'No', before saying 'Oh, I see!' The new girl's name is Sophie, obviously I've exposed him to too much Tiger Who Came to Tea!

At the village school, the Reception Teacher was telling me in the morning that it was her husband's 40th birthday and she'd had to spend the entire week 'bolstering him' as he was feeling low about it. Anyway, on the day she came in smiling, saying he was feeling happier about it. At the end of the day he came to meet her at school and a little boy ran into the classroom saying "Miss, your Dad's here for you" :oxD:( :( :( :wacko: xD

One of the boys at Playgroup is a keen Star Wars fan. He said, "I am the best Jedi knight ever. I am so good I can teach people to be Jedi's". I pretended to hold my light sabre and said,

"Can you teach me?" He fixed me with a firm stare, put his hands on his hips and said witheringly,

"Don't be silly. Only young people can be Jedi's."

 

I felt the force drain from my aged body ..

Conversation with my 3 year old grandaughter.....

 

Me (gazing out of the window) - "oh stupid snow, just stop now"

 

Grandaughter - "don't say stupid, it's very rude"

 

Me - "oh yes darling, good girl, I shouldn't have said that, but I am beginning to hate it now"

 

Grandaughter - (very serious now) Nana don't say hate, we don't use that word in this house"!

 

Bless her.........

Never mind the funny things children say...... the other day I was looking after a child who said she hated something, I can't remember what it was, but my response was please don't use that word, she said why and i replied because it's not a nice word I hate it when you say it. Needless to say she looked at me like i'd gone mad!!!

I have a friend with naturally very tight curly hair..

 

one day she came in with it straightened

( her daughters had been learning to use straighteners!)

 

On little girl asked.. ' where is your giggly hair gone.. I like it giggly '

 

Only took a walk in the garden to restore it to its giggly state..

My class of year ones are getting cheeky little characters, and today one of the little boys decided he would 'mix it up a bit'!

After lunchtime, he came over and said 'Err, Miss, I have something to tell you its very bad news', as I leaned in to listen he says 'I was talking to the headteacher at lunchtime, she says you're fired'!

Trying not to giggle, I asked if she'd given a reason, to which he replied 'you are a rubbish teacher and she doesn't like you'.

 

I still can't decide whether those words came from the Head or not.......!

A little girl I childmind had a pink bike for her birthday, complete with doll carrier and drink bottle. She looked at the picture on the bottle and asked her Mum who it was. Mum replied "Barbie"

 

My little friend thought about it for a few moments and announced "mmmm - Nona Barbie!" (my surname is Darby) xD

 

I'm teased about it whenever Barbie is mentioned :o

 

Nona
