sunnyday Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I have been asked one 'those' questions this morning! :blink: G a super 4 year old is busy threading wooden blocks onto a lace........when he asks........ Can you kiss caterpillars? Me: er, um, well I'm not really sure, probably best not to - you could blow them a kiss though :blink: He seemed quite satisfied with the answer! 5 Quote

klc106 Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 We were playing with the small world wild animals today and a little girl picked up a lion cub and said "baby lion". I said do you know what a baby lion is called? She replied "yes it a lion cupboard!" :1b 3 Quote
Guest Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Oh I've had some corkers in my time. After discussing the fact the fish had died and gone up to heaven "don't be silly Tracey, fish don't go in the sky. They go in the sea" Quote
Froglet Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 More of a funny things children do rather than say but... My sister went out the other day leaving kids at home with their dad. She came home to find a note written by my (6 in 25 sleeps!) year old nephew and my almost 2 year old niece. It said "I want to whach a DVD. I want to whach a DVD!!! DVD!!!!! DVD!!!!" and then Amy had added her 'writing' over the top. It was very definitely a joint effort. I told her it was a pity he wasn't still in reception as his teacher would have loved that evidence! 2 Quote
beth1 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 School photo day. In my class we have identical twin sisters, who as an older sibling. Cue one confused photo person. So they said 'which one of you came out of mummy's tummy? ' twin 1 said 'my big brother C'. Short time later twin 2 pipes up saying 'I came out of mummy's tummy last!' Children do say funny thing at time! Lol Quote
Guest Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I sat and sang the whole of Jack and Jill the other day with a group of older children, and after the line about vinegar and brown paper, one of the boys pipes up "but what about the salt?" It took a minute for that one to register too, haha. Quote
Cait Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 but what's the next line to that. I can remember 'When Jill came in, how she did grin to see Jack's paper plaster - de de de de de de de de for causing Jack's disaster! Anyone help? Quote
Fredbear Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 After having a discussion with a small group of children about their mummies and what is "Mothers Day", the children delighted in telling me my mummy hugs me etc. I then shared with them does mummy clean up, cook etc. a little girl replied " no my mummy's rubbish at cooking daddy does it ". Out of the mouth of babes sprung to mind. 3 Quote
Rea Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Saw an old friend today, her 7 year old son and all the class was asked by the teacher to write about what they were giving up for lent, he wrote 'writing' 5 Quote
finleysmaid Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 LOVE IT! we have a little girl who keeps telling us about her dog....she has said that he barks a lot and is there to guard the pub they live in (rough area!!). She has expressed some worries about the dog and has told us he lives in a cage. (thoughts of large guard dog in head yet???) he is called buster.(ok so must be something dangerous then????) So imagine my face today when buster comes to the door....small, fluffy pug/shiztsu cross who licked me all over !!!! 6 Quote
hopeytg Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 One of our little girls drew a picture of Mummy riding a horse and told us that Mummy goes riding every Thursday and Friday - when we mentioned it to Mum - she told us she had never ridden a horse in her life as she is allergic to them!! 2 Quote
Panders Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Along similar lines one of our little girls who is obsessed with large cats told me last week that she had gone to a local zoo and fed the baby tiger, I asked her how that happened and she said her grandma worked there (quite feasible, I thought for this particular grandma), I asked if the zoo was open at the time and she no, it was after it had closed, I asked what Grandma did and she said she looked after the penguins. When mum came I said, oh you should have told us about the tigers etc., complete blank stare from mum - so I related the whole story, no says mum not at all true! 2 Quote
Froglet Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 On a similar theme a couple years ago I had a class who were very into strictly and our room was filled with ballroom dancing. One of the TAs who was with me at the time said "oh, you should get J's dad in." When I asked why she explained that according to J his dad was a lighting engineer who worked on Strictly. J had given a VERY convincing description of his backstage trip. When I got around to asking Dad it turned out he was a printer! Apparently the same boy had told his grandma mummy was having another baby and was so convincing that grandma was somewhat put out that she hadn't been told! 2 Quote
Cait Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 My husband was horrified to read in our son's exercise book at school one parents evening that 'daddy waits till I go to bed and sneaks off to the pub'. He has never even been in the village pub, and the image of him sneaking anywhere is hilarious! He was hotly denying it to the school teacher, quite red under the collar, when she produced his friend Kevin's exercise book and showed him exactly the same sentence. Hmm. So is he a copycat or a fibber? Which is worse? Tee hee 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 So....... This morning we set off on a walk - I had told the children 'we are going to look for signs of spring'........ We were just a few yards down the road when one of my 4 year olds started jumping up and down saying "I can see a sign, I can see a sign"! He could.......a Builders advertising sign :blink: 5 Quote
klc106 Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 We have had chicken pox going round our setting. One of our little 3yr olds returned today still with marks from the chicken pox and whilst standing in the doorway she announced "I had chicken pops but I only like coco pops best!" 3 Quote
sunnyday Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Just thought I would share the latest gems from my little crew! :1b Faith aged 3 - her mum has broken her ankle - I was making sympathetic noises when Faith said "it's alright she's got 'crunchies' to help her walk! Callum aged 4 - I was reading to him - there was a 'daddy' bird helping a 'mummy' bird by feeding her when she was sitting on her nest of eggs......I said "oh does your daddy do nice things for your mummy"? - "Yes" says Callum "he gives her a banana"! Will aged 4 assured me this morning as he left to go to the loo "it's OK I won't walk sillyish"! At times this morning it felt like 'wading through treacle' - but these little moments do brighten my day! 4 Quote
finleysmaid Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 we were talking about ice cream vans today ...one of my little chaps lives in emergency accommodation and when asked if the ice cream van came to his house he said No....just the police van!.......for a moment i wasn't sure whether to laugh! :blink: 1 Quote

finleysmaid Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 don't panic ..it's not a safeguarding issue but he's right unfortunately that they do visit ! 1 Quote
Froglet Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 My sister is feeling inadequate. Apparently she took my nephew for a bike ride along the canal and stopped to look at what she thought was an overflow. She said that's what she thought it was but wasn't sure. J replied "grandpa would know!" A short while later they saw 2 herons. My sister commented that they were lucky as you don't often see herons. J's reply... "Granny does!" I've told her that she should suggest he move in with Granny and Grandpa as they clearly know everything! 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Love it - but feel I must put in a good word for grandparents.......clearly we do know everything! 3 Quote
Froglet Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Love it - but feel I must put in a good word for grandparents.......clearly we do know everything! Of course. I did ask her to let me know if he ever said I knew anything. Apparently he has finally worked out that I'm a teacher and not a pupil at school. It does explain why he was so impressed at me knowing 6 sounds and their accompanying actions when he first started in a Reception! 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 That reminds me....... My seven yr old granddaughter - a regular contributor to this thread E: would you like one of my creme eggs granddad? Mr S: oh yes please, I've never tried one before...... E: WHAT in the whole of 69 years you have never had a creme egg Mr S is not anywhere close to 69 - oh well - that's fine! 1 Quote

Mr S firmly in the camp of putting one over on the younger generation I see! I shall remember that one when the time comes, my granddaughter was concerned that the egg she gave me would melt before I could eat it. 1 Quote
Froglet Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Doing an RE lesson about Pentecost this afternoon. Not the easiest of subjects and we're talking about how the disciples would feel. I've just said something like "Pretend you're Jesus's friends and he's just told you..." G bounces up and says "You could be Jesus!" I'm already trying not to giggle and reply with "I suppose I could be." J raises his eyebrows and says "God'll be surprised!" 3 Quote
hopeytg Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 We visited a farm park for our summer trip today - picture the scene - we are sat to watch a sheep being sheared, the farmer explained what he was going to do and placed the sheep between his legs and held the clippers up - before he started one little lad said in a loud voice 'that's what mummy does to daddy'! You can imagine the staff's reactions!! 4 Quote
