Kids say the funniest things.

Kids say the funniest things. Sometimes things that make you laugh out loud, sometimes things that make you cringe with embarrassment, and sometimes things that just leave you with a great big question mark.

My children are no exception to this. Recently while in the supermarket queue, my 5 year old son told me he remembered when our baby was in my tummy – “Just like that man over there mummy, the one with the big fat belly. When is he having his baby?”

Parents evening this year was a barrel of laughs. My sons teacher showed me a story he had written. I commented on the neat handwriting, the great spelling, the good punctuation – anything except acknowledge the picture of a wolf clearly labelled with ‘stinky breath that smells of poo’ and ‘big cheesy feet like daddy’.

With Mothers Day approaching, my 8 year old daughter has been making cards. This weekend she spent a long time making one – writing, drawing and cutting it into the shape she wanted. She presented it to me so proudly….

What could I say? I had to try so hard not to laugh. She has clearly considered all the options and decided to keep me. Ermmm…..thanks?

Do your children do things that make you laugh? I would love to hear your funniest stories.
