The things kids say

[Pennyfarthing]

I was out watering my garden earlier and the little boy across the way had 2 smaller neighbours around to play.  He's 8 by the way and the other 2 maybe 5 and 6.

He was organising their play and I couldn't see them, just hear them.  He was clearly in charge and here's how it went ...

"Right, I'm walking on this bit of wood over the water. Nobody else is allowed on here only me."

A little girls voice "well when can we have a go?"

"You can't.  It's very dangerous and only I can do it."

"I'm going home then, this is boring" said her brother.

"No, no wait" said the leader "you can be the Health & Safety man and only you can make me get off it, if you like".

Well I nearly wet myself   It took me back to when my kids played like this but then the threat would have been a Policeman.

I hope I bump into his Dad because I think he'd enjoy the laugh too.

I wonder where he heard that one. Is that what his dad does ??
I remember it was the policeman one when I was little.
Kids are still kids, just more modern.

His Dad's an Engineer in a factory so I guess that's something he'd hear, bless him.

I remember when I was babysitting for a friend her daught came downstairs and had a puzzled look on her face (she was 6).

Whats the matter I enquired can't you sleep?

No she said I'm really confused, you see my mummy and daddy said will you play with your brother till we come down, we won't be long.
While I was playing they were moving the furniture around in the bedroom BUT when I went upstairs it was still in the same place 

Guess who had red faces that night

A few years ago Hubby and i were having a coffee in the park, watching some boys 5-6yrs olds having great fun playing football, when one of them runs up to the lady sat next to me and said " Mommy can i have a 'bastard' football like that boy has" well never seen so much coffee spat out so quickly, and i really did try not to laugh..

My friend was listening to her 3-year old daughter playing with her dolls ......... sounded just like my friend - telling the dolls to do this, that, even down to sounding like her

It's scarey isn't it when you hear kids & they sound like you.  We used to have kids at nursery who would say things in play that they'd overheard staff saying, it was such a scream.  Used the same tone etc.  We could always tell which member of staff they were copying.
