From the mouths of babes #63 – Manners, gender and brutal honesty

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!

 

A big thank you to everyone who linked up last week.  I loved Nipper and Tyke’s post about Dr Jet and his interest in “wilms” and treating “chippedy knives” injuries and Days in Bed’s daughters answers about the good and bad things about Dad.

Here are some of the things that my girls have said recently that have made me chuckle:

 

Sophie on manners:

Me: “Would you like some yogurt, Sophie?”
S: Yes
Me: “Yes, what?”
S: “Yes, I want a yogurt.”

Usually she is very good at saying please, but not on this occasion!

 

Jessica on determining gender:

Jessica: “Daddy is a boy.”
Me: “Am I a boy?”
J: “No.  You are a girl.  Daddy is a boy because he puts me on his shoulders.”

 

Jessica on morning breath:

“Mummy, your face is very smelly.”

Thanks, Jessica!  Don’t you just love the brutal honesty of children?!
If you have any posts about something that your children have been saying lately, please do come and link up. The linky opens each Monday from 6am and closes on Friday at 11pm so there is plenty of time to link up your posts (old and new posts are welcome!). Please add the badge below to your post so others know where they can also link up (the badge code is below). I will also try and share posts via Twitter – please use the hashtag #ftmob and I’ll do my best to retweet them. I also have a Pinterest board and will be sharing posts here too.

Looking forward to reading what your little ones have been saying!

 

Little Hearts, Big Love
