Anders this morning, after a long rambling question about

:

"That's all I don't know about that!"

scott · « **Reply #78 on:** 19 August, 2008, 02:39:07 am »

Last week, while we were camping, Anders was talking about the flies landing on his food. He was doing a lot more talking than eating.

Scott: "Anders, do you know the best way to keep the flies from getting your food? Eat it!"
Robyn: "Yeah, put it in your stomach where they can't get it."
Anders: "OK, flies, deploy your gnat submarines, try and get my food!"

If I won't do what he wants my little one threatens me:
"Do it or suffer the consequestions!"

Sounds like something you'd do to politicians!

Out of the mouths of babes etc...

My three year old on a misty morning last week looked out and said "Daddy, everything's covered in candy floss"

and last night "I don't need to brush my teeth: I did it yesterday"!

This thread has had me in fits of giggles - thank you everyone, with special awards to Anders and Elleigh's Mum!

My personal favourite came from my brother when he was little and said " Look Mum I'm being have " shortly after being told to Behave

I predict that Anders will be the next Robin Williams.

In the J household we're all excited about the square crow festival just now.

Last night, whilst I was eating a beef and horseradish sandwich:

"Daddy, how do horses make horseradish?"

Yesterday I asked Gabe what he had enjoyed most about our trip to the swimming pool:

"Jumping up and down and saying 'Woo'."

Fair enough, I guess!

#1: Anders, after a discussion about marriage:

A: "Soooo....what if you had a brother or a sister?"
S: "What do you mean?"
A: "Well, if you were grown up and you had a brother or sister...."
S: "Yes?"
A: "Well, could you marry them?"
S: "Erm....well, no."
A: "Not your brother?!?"
S: "Nope."'
A: "Why NOT?!?"

#2: Anders, age six as of tomorrow, playing superhero and pretending he has some piece of high-tech superhero equipment, which apparently is quite large:

A: "That baby is cumbersome!"

A few minutes ago I was discussing my late mother's arthritis with my brother.

I said "She swore by the cider vinegar."

When I finished the call, I noticed that Dez (aged 29¾) was smirking to himself.

"What's so funny?" I enquired.

"I thought you said 'She swore by the side of a nigger'" he explained.

Zoe (age 9): "Is John Barrowman married?"

Mrs Chris (hoping the conversation would end at this point): "Well... yes."

Zoe: "Who to?"

Mrs Chris: "Another man.", (she then explains about civil partnerships.)

Zoe: "Did John Barrowman wear the dress?"

Miss Dan the elder: I'm not a sausage ... you're a banger

Another gem from Zoe (age 9) - "My friends Harry and Paul are twins. They're brothers as well."

Grandson George, on seeing me on the Turbo Trainer " Put one of those on my bike Gradrad". He's two and a half and the proud owner of a Postman Pat bike with stabilisers.

More Zoe sayings, but this time I got to the keyboard first!

Going home from the gym in the car, Dad says "it's said the list's been leaked, and Chris Hoy...."
Zoe answered first "is he going to be a Dame?".

This one made me laugh

MrsMekon - Do what you are told, I am the boss
MiniMekon - you aren't the boss, you are bossy

And then this morning

MiniMekon - Girls are tricky!

Scene: Louis is on the potty, being encouraged to have a wee before leaving the house...

Me (trying to help): "Pssss"

Louis (getting a little frustrated): "Stop pissing, Daddy!"

Okay, okay, so it's not befuddling. In fact, the boy shows a tendency towards clarity that he must get from his mum. But it's the first thing I've been able to post here that wasn't just

Oh, and
