I remember - some 20 years ago now - having 'words' with my son (aged about 8) - we were walking in the park, with my mother (aged about 70) at the time. He stood - well, sort of jumped up and down - in front of me and said 'I'm going to say it!' 'Say what?' I said, 'The F word!' he replied. I'm afraid I fell about laughing - my mum was not impressed!

( Can't wait to see what happens when they go shopping tomorrow.) Am i cruel or what?

Here's another one. A friend from some years back and 2 boys, a baby and a 3/4yr old. Her partner had gone off to work and she had to sort out their breakfasts. She asked the 3/4yr old to go and get the milk from the doorstep where the milkman left it. So off he went. Quickly returning saying 'Mummy, it is not there, someone has taken it.' She told him to have a look again as it must be there. so off he went to the front door to have a look again. Whilst looking, he spotted 2 teenage girls walking by. He stood there with his hands on his hips and said 'Excuse me, Did you take my milk?' By the way his daddy had already put it in the fridge and his mummy hadnt looked. He was not pleased.

I have a couple of stories. the other day I visited my Sister and my 2 nephews Jamie aged 2yrs 10months and Brett aged 11months. I pulled up into the drive way, opened my door and could hear Jamie saying hello Auntie Fiona. I couldnt see him. He was being a good boy and standing by the back door as he had no shoes on. I called back hello Jamie to which he headed for me. I was getting my wheelchair out the car and about to put it together when he said, I will help you with that. Sweet! Just after my arrival I told him i had some pictures to show him but had to go to the toilet first. He said ok, but dont lock the door! As I was washing my hands, I heard him say, "Auntie Fiona, have you finished". To which I replied yes, I am just coming. I came out the bathroom into the hallway where he was standing and whilst closing the door behind me, he said "what did you do?" I just kept quiet. Later on he told me he was going to buld me a tower in Lego. he then dismantled the one he had build and brought me all the pieces to start again. Before starting he said, Now get down please. I asked what he meant. He wanted me to get out my chair and onto the floor so I could build it at his level. Not an easy task believe me. So we just gave the tower a miss. Dont you just love 'em!!

My older son (18 years old) just starting teaching swimming lessons. He has fair skin and tons of freckles on his back. Last week, a little girl about 4 or 5 years old saw his back as he jumped in the pool, tapped him on the arm and said "Hey, mister. Do you know you got lots of polka dots on your back?"

My 6yr old great niece has always called the living room the "love room"! Makes me wonder what her parents get up to Jean

We returned last Saturday from a holiday in Gran Canaria. My youngest child (8 year old Luke) was due to have his First Holy Communion on the Sunday as we returned. During the holiday, he decided that he quite liked garlic bread, as he had been having it for starters in the restaurant. Just before he went to sleep one night he said to me "mum, when I get home, I'm going to have that bread, what's it called?" "Garlic bread" I answered. "Is it?" says Luke "yes, garlic bread" I replied. "Are you sure it is mum?" he asked again. Feeling perplexed by now I say "YES, GARLIC BREAD, BREAD WITH GARLIC BUTTER ON!!" "Oh" he says "so when I'm in Church on Sunday, I'll be having garlic bread for my first Communion?" !!!!! Best wishes, Carol.

One day I was with my two kids aged 4yrs and 2yrs waiting at the end of a long queue for our bus to arrive laden with bags of shopping, a rather cumbersome pushchair, very heavily pregnant ..... and I 'was' married! and with everybody in the queue minding their own buisiness as people do, my 4yr old suddenly pipes up and asks me " mummy, when are you and daddy going to get married?" at that moment all eyes were focussed on my huge bump and the look I got was nothing short of disgust, I just wished the ground could have opened up and swallowed me, .... out of the mouths of babes eh! This was in the 1960's and single mum's were frowned upon then, so you can imagine how it looked! Audrey.

My 6 year old daughter's favourite bedtime story is Snow White and the 7 'Wolves' (try as she might she cannot pronounce dwarfs!)

JEAN.

Jordan, my grandson (then 7) came into the kitchen one day whilst I was peeling potatoes. "What are we having for tea Gran" he asked. I replied "Sausages, chips and beans" and he asked "What are you and grandad having?" "We're having the same as you Jordan" I said. "Well who's having potatoes then?" asked Jordan. Puzzled, I replied "We all are, they are for the chips" Jordan gave me a look of disgust and said "We don't have them made out of potatoes at home, we have proper chips" !!! (My daughter later confirmed my suspicion - they have frozen chips) LOL!! On the same subject, my son, when he was in his teens told me he didn't like my fresh chips as they have have too much potato in them, he prefered frozen chips! Makes you wonder why we mothers bother!

My 4 year old daughter on an Airplanes vapour trail ... "I just love the way they scratch the sky"

I have a strong dislike of motor bikes and tattoos and my husband always wanted both when we were together. A few years back whilst driving along in the car, my son Elliot asked his dad "when can i get a motorbike dad?" Dad replied probably not till I was dead......"when can i get a tattoo then dad?" Probably not till your mum is dead says dad....Elliot promptly turns to me and says...."Mummy....when are you gonna die?!" Charming!!!!! To the song YMCA...my wee one Finlay sings the words batman instead of young man....... Jill x

On a visit to a local attraction on Sunday we saw some ostrich's, my brother asked my 2 year old daughter what they were, she promptly shouted out "CHICKENS"! Could you imagine the size of the drumsticks?! Sue:-)

I've had such a laugh reading this board - thanks Stacey! And Donna and Stacey, it happened to me as well .... my mum left me outside Woolworths in my pram and got quite a way along when she looked at the shopping in her hands and thought 'I'm sure I had something else' - yes, me!! Luckily I was still there when she got back LOL My son has always been interested in science and nature, and used to watch a video in the mornings while myself and hubby were getting ready. One day he shouted up the stairs 'Mum, what's a dickhead?' He was about 4 or 5 at the time, so great panic set in! I asked him to repeat it, so he did, then I asked which video he had on 'My whale video'. Still very confused, we rushed downstairs and rewound the video to hear a lady commentator with a very strong Australian accent saying how many 'whales were slaughtered in a decade' (go on, try it with an Aus accent) LOL
