This month featuring two of
my granddaughters.
First of all one of the 6
year olds:
“What does it say on this sweet wrapper, Grandma?”
“Eating too many of these
will turn you purple.”
“Pardon?”
Grandad: “Eating too many of
these will make you deaf.”
“Pardon?”
Two minutes later and in that tone of voice that makes you feel
like an idiot. “I am not deaf, Grandad.”
And the 5 year old:
“Would you like to come to
the beach with Dusty?”
“Yes. I will wear my pirate
dress.”
“You should wear trousers.”
“But I want to wear my
dress.”
“The wind might blow your
dress over your head, then everyone will see your knickers.”
“No they won’t.” Long pause
and that look they give you that
makes you feel like an idiot. “I’m not wearing any.”
And here she is at the beach –
in a full complement of clothes.
Oh, so funny, they say children are the best comedians. I could imagine Les Dawson telling those well. So cute as well.They must give you tons of laughs... great giggle. xx
ReplyDeleteThey have brought me so many smiles, Susan x
DeleteHa ha! Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteI should have just read the sweet wrapper, Wendy - but it was that crinkly see through stuff and impossible to read. Whenever I try to pull their legs it usually backfires :-) x
DeleteOh, that so reminds me of my daughter at about the same age. She was complaining that when she did handstands, the boys at school laughed, because they could see her knickers. "What did you do?" I asked her. "I took them off, of course," was the reply.
ReplyDeleteA lovely post.
That's lovely, Frances x
DeleteFrom the mouths of babes ....
ReplyDeleteIndeed :-) x
DeleteHard to argue with that kind of logic.
ReplyDeleteYep - and you never win an argument with them x
DeleteGot to love them
ReplyDeleteOh I do - so much x
DeleteOh, they're so funny, Teresa, and I do hope she wore her knickers! What a beautiful photo of the wee girl.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rosemary x
DeleteHilarious Teresa. I'll bet your expressions were priceless!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos :o) xx
I'm sure they were, Sue x
DeleteWonderful, Teresa! As well as entertaining for us, it's worthwhile noting all the lovely things they say to tell them when they're older. xxx
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, Joanna - telling them when they're older is going to be fun :-) x
DeleteThe innocence of children. Our 6 year old granddaughter is equally amusing. I guess your hubby loves to wind her up to provoke such amusing responses. Loved the post.
ReplyDeleteYou guess right, Maggie - he is always winding them up and their other grandad is just the same, but I think it's in their job description :-) x
DeleteOh what a wonderful punchline! And how sweet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny x
DeleteLove the angelic photograph and the smart replies - especially the no knickers one - that just made me laugh out loud! :-)
