Out of the mouths of babes..

[suespud]

Out today with my daughter, her 3 week old and her 4 year old sons. I had another 2 grandsons with me age 18 months and 6 years old.
Oliver who is 6, goes to a catholic school, is very well spoken, very polite, bright little boy. Has told me all about Easter..and God and Jesus on the cross.
Ramsay...is 4... Talked about an explosion on the earth made all the dinosaurs extinct..and also Pontoon Pilot, didn't fly aeroplanes , but hammered nails in the wood.
Then as the conversations went on.... I heard Ramsay ask Oliver..." Do you have girlfriends or boyfriends.."
Oliver said...." I have girlfriends Ramsay, if I had boyfriends I would be gay, I like boys who play football, but I'm going to marry a girl not a boy"
Then he went on to say...but if you marry a boy it might be better, cos he would let you buy games for the Xbox, cos girls won't let you,cos they want to buy make up"

Sue thank you for sharing that with us - so funny - isn't it amazing what young children come out with. When my husband passed away my little grandson Thomas was only just three and didn't understand and when we said he had gone to heaven and looked upwards he was obviously even more confused and quite matter of fact said no problem we'll send a helicopter for Bampi Paul to fetch him home - as you can imagine we all shed a few tears.

Jan, I wish I could record all the conversations between the two, four year olds and the six year old. They have me creased up laughing, although sometimes, brought to tears like you have been, when they ask about my parents and why, how, did they die.
Oliver the eldest, knows about heaven now.... Well his version of it....lol
The youngest two are at the rude word giggling stage....pump, poo, ****...then fits of giggles...
Of course I tell them they are being rude...then have a giggle myself, when I turn around from them.

They are a joy!!!

Sue, Children say it as it is.

I have been out today with my OH's daughter and 6 month old Jack and 8 year old Chloe. Looking for holiday clothes I am looking at pretty dresses, Chloe is picking up 'torn' denim shorts and ra ra skirts.

She explained she didn't want to be a chav but you have to be with it nowadays. Fortunately I got some lovely smiles from Jack when I chose his things.

Jan, When Chloe first went on a plane she thought she would see her "Nana in heaven " in the sky.

At her great gran's funeral, our little granddaughter, then about six, was looking quite worried, so I asked her if she was okay. She pointed a little finger at the coffin, and said "Nana Bette's in there isn't she?", so I said yes she was. I was then asked "is her head in there?" "Yes, she's all in there." "So they haven't cut her head off?" "No, why would do you think that?" "Cos Mummy said that only her body is in there, and the rest of her has gone to heaven".

Aw, bless!

Many years ago a friend of mine was out in the garden with his young son whilst his neighbour was burning a pile of leaves. My friend's son leaned over the fence and said:
"My dad's sick and tired of you burning your leaves like that".
