"It's stuck together!"

From one of two small children shouting back to their parents as Mrs. Wow and I rode past on the tandem.

Daughter emerges from shower, dons dressing gown, leaves bathroom. 2-year-old son, so far with limited vocabulary, demands to be picked up so she does so and sits him on her knee. He opens the top of her dressing gown and looks quizzically for a few seconds at the contents. Then, very clearly, whilst pointing, "One..., two...!"

Four-year-old niece, out in Chilterns yesterday (very cold, wet and windy) flying kites:
"I want to be home in my pyjamas, drinking hot chocolate."

That's about as far as as any male gets when looking at naked boobies.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

We ended up with 3 of them singing it as he taught it to his two friends. When we left they all sang (unprompted) "We've been to the pub"!

Happy to lend out children to anyone who wants an excuse to go to the pub. ;)

In the charts, when my Kid Brother was about three was that 'Day Trip to Bangor' song.
'And on the way back,
I cuddled with Jack
And we opened a bottle of cider.'

"Dink it!" pipes up child.

Is that a reference to what should happen to the cider, or a ribald remark in some modern vernacular of which I am unaware concerning what Jack should do to her with whom he had had erstwhile cuddles?

Three year old brother was perfectly innocent, though accustomed to imbibing cider at Family Celebrations.

There was never any lower age limit for alcohol in our family (though I believe it is unlawful to give non-medicinal alcohol to a child under five years old).

I do not think any of us has been harmed as a result.

These I've read, so they're cheating, but I think they're quite funny. They're all from Dervla Murphy's five-year-old daughter on their journey to South India.

1. An elderly missionary nun asks her "Do you love Jesus?" to which she replies "Yes. And I love Hanuman and Ganesh too. Especially Ganesh because he has such a beautiful round tummy."

2. Having discussed the Hindu idea of rebirth. "Won't it be interesting to be dead! Then we'll know everything. Would you like to be dead?"

3. "I think I'm too young to understand Hinduism. Will you explain it again when I'm eight?" By my calculations she's now 47 and I'd like to think she's still saying "Will you explain it again when I'm fifty?"

"You have to do it, it's Gods rule !" - Dermott aged 4 just.

Formally knows as "the Dermonster" now known as "The Voice of God". Think Stewie from Family Guy but with a Yorkshire accent and more attitude.

Conversation at breakfast a couple of days ago:

'Where's Bob?'
'Bob that goes camping?'
'Yes, is he in his tent?'
'I think he's probably at his house.'
'Ok. I like Bob'.

Canardly, Nye's concerned about you!

(I'm still adjusting to the idea of Nye being able to talk, as I think he was mostly pointing and "da!"ing the last time we met.)

We clearly haven't seen you for far too long! The strange thing about him asking about Bob is that we haven't seen him since September.
