Questions from my son in the supermarket queue
- Billy .." Why did God make wasps ?"
- Mummy.."So we would appreciate winter"
- Billy.. " Why is a house called a house, and a horse called a horse, and how do we know that maybe somebody in the olden days got it wrong and a house is supposed to be called a horse and a horse is supposed to be called a house ?
- Mummy.." Because it doesn't sound so funny to say " You look like house's ass"
- Billy.. " Hmmm, Why is blue called blue ?"
- Mummy.. "Because it's not called pink"
- Billy (in an incredibly loud voice).. "Why does that lady ( the cashier) have a moustache ?"
- Mummy... ... Stunned silence.
- Cashier... ... Stoney silence.
- Billy.." Why don't daddies have the babies ? - daddies would be good at having babies".
- Mummy.. " GUFFAW ! - because if they did the human race wouldn't exist anymore, and you wouldn't be around to ask all these questions" .
Very, very funny! It's always so embarassing when they do things like that!

aren't they just the best?! My friend's son asked his mum why the man was in a wheelchair, 'because he's only got one leg' was his mums reply... after a lengthy silence her son said 'oh, well could i have one for Christmas??'... its the workings of their minds that are so wonderful!

Yes, I remember once I was unloading my shopping cart only to have a man tap me on the shoulder and give me back the maxi pad that my son had handed to him from my purse. To say the least that trick was on me.

Oh the things they say... When my little one asks questions like that in front of people, I seriouslly freeze! I have no how to respond!

"mummy is that old lady going to die soon?" infromt of old lady.
Even my "don't know"'s get a "try and guess why" answer. Happy keeping sane.

ha ha! love it. when i was a teenager we went to stay with our friends who'd just moved house. my friend (who was a bit younger than me) was loving showing us all the new things - the house, garden, etc.. so when we went to the corner shop with her mum she was really excited and shouted out "and this is the horrible lady shop, isn't it mummy?!" in front of the whole shop, and the horrible lady.
needless to say her mum was mortified and has never set foot in that shop again.

Oh, I don't know, I think saying someone looks like a 'house's ass' could catch on. A bit like describing someone as being like 'the back end of a bus' - only funnier.

And how late can I be with this one - I love your crochet blanket - it's absolutely beautiful and I'll be coming back to see how you did the joining up bit when I get round to doing mine. So that'll be in about ten years or so...
