family fortunes

[annie0000]

My sons love family fortunes and my mum bought them the board game for Christmas. Playing it today and the question was, name sparkly objects or something like that. My 6 year old got "glitter" and was then struggling for the rest of the answers - he asked for a clue and as one of the answers was "diamonds" I said - "what's the hardest thing on earth"?

Answer - "...eh, is it times tables?"

Almost as good as the answer to "name something you keep in your trousers?" Testicles! shouted my 7 year old

Heard anything funny today?

Not really that funny considering she is poorly, but my daughter woke up earlier and whined ''My ear isn't letting me sleep''..which I took to mean she had an earache, bless her!

This morning she got into my bed and gave me a kiss, after which she said ''mummy, your breath smells like morning''. I don't think she meant it in a nice way either..lol.

Yours are priceless :o)

Not today but after having a jurassic park week last week, we were asking my toddler what noises animals made and then I asked him about a t-rex and he growled as loudly as he could and then reliably informed us that dinosaurs (he says 'saurs) eat cars. Which after watching those films makes sense.

Oh and thinking of testicles, only today during a conversation about gingernuts J who is 6 repeated that Russel Brand calls his balls his nutsack.

Kids are more clever than we credit them for. It's my observation that they are innovative and very inventive. And they do say the darnest things which always put smiles on our faces in in our hearts.

Aw! pippa - wee soul!! - I love the way they are always so complimentary.

Goodsoulette - boys and their nuts!

We read quite recently that after about age 5, you should gently pull back a boys foreskin to ensure that it is clean inside. Neither my husband or i were too keen to add this to our washing routine, but he said to the boys to try it. Younger son did and and thought it was hilarious. His brother thought so too, but would not try it himself, his quote was "I'm never doing that...." What do you think would be a good age to remind him?

[Pippa68]

LOL annie! burst in on him when he is 15 and spending all his time in the bedroom ''watching telly''....if you dare ;o)

I remember my other daughter sitting on the sofa next to me staring into space. I asked her if she was ok, and she replied she was hibernating. it took a while before I realised she meant meditating!

figure - i entirely agree, I have been beaten hands down twice today at monopoly by my budding property magnets- I was really trying too! My only triumph was in selling my get out of jail free card for �55 when they could have paid �50 to the Bank to get out - I think that he took pity on me!

[annie0000]

Pippa - I think that hibernating is an excellent description!

We still suffer from the getting walked in on rather than the other way round. Trying to have a bit of couple time this morning while the kids were watching tv only to hear footsteps stomping upstairs - younger son shouting "for goodness sake will you stop following me!" to his brother, the reply was "I'm not following you, I'm just going into Mum and Dad's bed for a snuggle"

"NO YOU'R NOT" - was the loud shout in unison from our room.....
