the things my kids say...........

My youngest daughter (11) just punched her dad in the bum and exclaimed "why is your bum like bricks?"

 

I'm more interested in his reply!!!

 

his reply was "What?!" with a surprised/amused face.

 

Mine would have merely said: "Because I'm built like a brick **** house"

 

Due to changes in the profanity filter, i'm really glad you didn't use the S word there, would have made me laugh though

 

I've obviously taught my son the green cross code quite well. He made up his own bed time story last night. What a delight it was. It went like this (featuring a teddy bear for the actions).

Scene: Teddy bear is being walked across the bedroom floor. Part of the bedroom floor represents a road. Large toy fire engine is parked near end of bed.

The story goes: Teddy cross busy road. Not wait green man. Nee naw come. Squash teddy. That died. That not move.

The thing is, the wife and I haven't approached such concepts as serious as death yet. Our explanation of what happens if you don't wait for the green man for now is just that you get 'boomed over' and it really really hurts. Maybe they've covered it at his nursery school

 

I self censored

Clue - yup, could have been nursery; or, it could have been he's seen something/heard something on the news Young children have a brain like an enormous spongs, which soaks up and processes things which we, as adults, become blind/blaze to (insert accent over e). Who can really pinpoint where he has conceptualised squashed-teddy-no-move; but, something, somewhere is ticking away. You've got one clever lad there, matey!

 

boomed over

 

Go on then, you have special dispensation from a staff member

After all FC's done for you, I think you better let him use the Ba..... word now
