We all love our children and g.children but have there been times when you could see them far enough?

Our g.daughter was the worst - always doing it - once at a BBQ and swimming party she announced to a large group of guests that she had a nightie with elephants on it and her baby brother had a 'gro' but that her mummy and daddy wore noffink in bed!!! ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

That brings back memories for me Chris.

My son who is 37 was at nursery school and the teacher was teaching them "Wee Willie Winkie". She asked him if he wore a "nightgown" as in the verse. He said "no, I wear pyjamas but my mam and dad don't wear anything in bed". I was soooo embarrassed when she told me!!

This didn't embarrass me but-----

OH and I were at a parents' meeting and looking at son's work. He was 7 at the time and had written a story entitled "My House". It ended with "My house has two bedrooms. My Dad and I share one and my Mum and young brother have the other."

Somewhat surprised at his description of our sleeping arrangements, I asked him about it later.

He looked at me the way children do when adults are being particularly stupid and said "Well, I could hardly say that you and Daddy slept in the same room, could I?"

They are magic - same gdau - light of my life - was about seven and sitting at the table suddenly asked me 'Grandma why is your face falling?' - dau. helpless with laughter and I told her it was all ahead of her.

This embarrassed DIL.

We were visiting son and family not long after the funeral of daughter-in-law's grandmother.

Grand daughter, aged 4, greeted me with "Are you going to die, Nana?"

G/daur aged 6 sat looking at her g/dad , eventually she said
"G/Dad you were in the Army"
"Yes"
"and you've been into hospital too"
"Yes"
quite a pause
"Then why are you not dead"

Another one ...OH's niece who lives in Aus. and had never met her relations on this side of the Pond especially her Gt Aunt who was in her 70's, wrote to her gt Aunt telling her that she was coming over to see everyone including her and she hoped that she would stay alive until they got there. Thank goodness Aunty L saw the funny side and roared with laughter :-D

My daughter and family used to live next door to an elderly chap. My grandson, then 3, got up and announced that he was going next door to see Reg "To see if he's not dead yet!"

Their family cat was killed on the road, and was ceremoniously buried. When I went to visit, I was told: - "Monty's dead, but we can dig him up and play with him later" :-D

My daughter when she was aged about 12 said to my husband Pat when your gone who's going to have necklace, his reply was where am I going? but we both knew what she ment and had a good laugh about it

So funny and innocent aren't they :-)

After our young nephew's pet dog died, his father buried it in the garden. Next day the little lad bought sweets with his pocket money, came home and then scattered them on top of the grave, saying......'she loved dolly mixtures they were her favourites' aww

My 6 yr old granddaughter was convinced I was going to die when I went into hospital for my op. So worried, we had to put the Skype on as soon as I got home. She was so happy to see me, then looking me up and down with all my aids she suddenly asked how I was going to managed the toilet. Told her I had been given some ladies Huggies for the night. She screamed laughing.

At school they stand up to speak a verbal diary if they have some interesting news - according to her teacher she couldn't wait to tell her class that her best nanny hadn't died in hospital but the doctors gave her ladies nappies until she gets well. Hoots of laughter all round the class. :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

OMG - think I have told this one before but 6yr old g.son doing his daily diary in school asked his teacher how to spell 'knickers'. Teacher asked why thinking it was unusual - he replied saying his grandma did not wear any!

At least you had your huggies. I had taken his sister about 9rs old to a costume museum and discussing the difficulties of wearing long heavy clothes I explained that knickers were relatively new - that Queen Victoria did not wear any on her wedding day.

Fast forward a few weeks - it is cooking hot - grandma wished to stay cool, was wearing a cotton kaftan which covered from neck to toe when that lot landed in - first thing was g.dau 'are you wearing knickers gma?' And I said NO :-0 Later a school sports are a lot of young mums chanting - 'we know all about you!!!!'

My friend has a 2 year old girl who can be cheeky at times but is pretty well behaved a few weeks ago I was over her house and it was time for her bedtime but she wanted to stay up and eat sweets which she was told no as it was too late and sweets are only if she been a good girl , she gave a small sigh and began to walk off next minute she came in with the cordless phone saying "Hello Mr policeman mummy is being naughty and not giving me sweets" We grabbed phone and luckily she hadn't dialled 999 !

When my husband died we came back from the hospital and I wanted to see the g children, they wanted to know why I was crying so my daughter took them outside and told them that granddad had died and had gone to heaven the 5 year old looked up to the sky and said mummy I cant see granddad. She then explained that there had to be a funeral at that point he said is granddad going under the bird bath with dizzy the dog.
