The Funny Things My Children Say…

I haven’t done one of these posts for a few weeks, so I’ve kept a note of the things they have said. Here is a selection:-

Lucas:- “Mummy remember when I had to piddle in a bottle for the doctors?”
Me:- “Yes honey.”
Lucas:- “Well it’s easier for boys isn’t it?”
Me:- “Yes it is honey.”
Lucas:- “We can just put our wee man in and piddle. It nearly overflowed and went everywhere though.”
Me:- “Yes, it can but it didn’t. You did well to get it to the doctors.”
Lucas:- “Boys are better for piddling in bottles.”

I asked the boys to go and watch some tv the other day while I made their dinner.

Tyler:- “There is nothing on the tv. It’s switched off.”

hmmm what can I say to that, without being overly sarcastic.

Lucas:- “Why is Uncle David older than me?”
Me:- “Because he was born many years before you.”
Lucas:- “Then why is his birthday after mine?”
Me:- “That’s just when he was born in the year, doesn’t mean he is younger.”

Lucas:- “That’s Christopher’s truck.”
Me:- “That’s just a Sainsbury’s truck.”
Lucas:- “Yes but Christopher works there so he must be in the truck.”
Me:- “No honey Christopher works in the shop and he can’t drive.”
Tyler:-“Yes Christopher has too much work now so he can’t go to school.”
Me:- “Christopher has left school and is at University but he works in Sainsbury’s too.”

My boys are obsessed with a guy in my work called Gerry. Not sure why other than I think they like his name since they like Tom and Jerry the cartoon. When I was in the office the other day with them, Lucas ran around and say on Gerry’s seat and said:-

“Look I’m a tiny Gerry.”

Tyler:- “Mummy my finger isn’t right?”
Me:- “It looks ok honey. Is it sore?”
Tyler:- “No but it’s not the same size.”
Me:- “Aw honey they are all different sizes, look mine are the same. See they are ok.”

Lucas:- “Mummy can I have mitamins for school tomorrow?”
Me:- “What are mitamins?”
Lucas:- “A hat and mitamins.”
Me:- “Ahh mittens. Of course.”
