Perfectly Sensible Child Utterances

[Cudzoziemiec]

Makes perfect sense. You go there to stock your cupboard and the stalls are like cupboards (sort of).

Discussing the "fuel crisis" I explained that it wasn't to the point where, in the 70s, there were car free days on Sundays (in Belgium).

Just been sent a video of 3 year old nephew, staring out the window of a plane. "Cheeky airplane, don't go down in the water"

Just been sent a video of 3 year old nephew, staring out the window of a plane. "Cheeky airplane, don't go down in the water" 

Watching the shadow of the plane, perhaps?

[Cudzoziemiec]

Mine at that age was the opposite. "We might crash in the water!" in tones of great glee and excitement.

[Kim]

At that age, I was busy having Strong Opinions about jet engines and how I wasn't going anywhere near the horrible things, as the noise alone was bound to result in certain DETH.  This made using the toilet on a DC-10 problematic, and at one point I had to be grabbed and carried down the wheely steps kicking and screaming because the engine blades were still turning.

Ok, they're both Grown Ups, but they're my children, discussing my grand children.

The Boy is holding one of The Twins recently produced by The Girl.

"$The_Girl, you've made a goblin"

Luckily The Girl loves The Boy, her brother, so no bloodshed ensued.

"What's that (tune) called on the radio?"

"Morning has broken"

"Who broke it? It wasn't me"

Discussing with the youngest that we need to come up with more vegetarian recipes as trying to eat less meat for environmental reasons which she understands

Her reply was pie

I asked what sort

Apple and Rhubarb apparently. She wasn't having it that you can't have this as a main course as it's called a pie

[Cudzoziemiec]

She is right.

[Butterfly]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Overheard in the street earlier today:
"Do you know what weird happened to me today? I picked up a bee and it didn't want to sting me."

The youngest monkey can be a bit firey. She had a big grump today but calmed her down and talking to her later said I feel like acting like that sometimes but can't because I'm a grown up

Her reply. Well I better do it now or I'll miss my opportunity

Excellent response from Youngest Monkey, there.

Grandchildren now live under the flight path for East Midlands Airport - you can see the eyes of the pilot (almost).

Grandad - 'Where's that aeroplane come from? "
Child -" The airport "
Grandad -" Oh, Where's it going then? "
Child -" The airport "

Can't really argue with the logic, but I feel something is missing.

[Kim]

The *other* airport

“It’s going to a man-made, globally-heated hell, grandad, and it’s taking my future with it”?

[MikeFromLFE]

“It’s going to a man-made, globally-heated hell, grandad, and it’s taking my future with it”?

That'll be the eldest who's turning quite nicely into an eco warrior (as is appropriate for late teenage years)

Ah so they won’t want you taking them anywhere in the car. Which at least is a bonus, you won’t become a taxi driver for kids.

"But I *need* the torch, mummy."
[parent inaudible]
"Because there might be BEARS!"

(Onna campsite in Oxfordshire, not Surrey, but the child was sufficiently small that she probably didn't know that.)

[The Family Cyclist]

The youngest again yesterday. That's too far to drive, let's cycle. Was very tempted as its not that far but is up a relatively big hill and also the bridge on a surrounding road got taken out by a idiot driver so suspected traffic would be heavier then usual

The eldest has had a lot of changes starting big school and starting to get hormonal

Very much a mummy's girl at the moment.

Yesterday we were wandering up the road to check on our friends dogs. I had keys in my hand for their house and she stuck her hand towards me. I handed her the keys thinking she wanted to go ahead.

No daddy I wanted to hold your hand.

I think there was a look of slight surprise on my face as she then said

Daddy I do love you, you just get me at all my bad times. You know getting me up, bedtime and homework.

Shes not wrong

[The Family Cyclist]

Sat at dinner (that's usual) and talking about different foods we like. Little one says she likes sushi, we had mentioned Indian and Chinese. What's Japanese she thinks. Japanesium obviously
