Stand a chance to win this amazing book by author Michelle Borba. A must have for parents of children aged 3 to 12.
All parents have occasions to laugh at the things that your children come up with. We have had misunderstandings at home where my daughter thought a tsunami is called a salami. We could not understand that a food item could have caused so much destruction and despair…
My other daughter, in front of company, said to me: “Mommy you are so nice to us, are you going to start screaming again when the people leave?”
By sharing your funny story, you can have this book delivered to your doorstep. Go on leave your story in the comment box and let us all have a good giggle.
The competition will run from 12 May to 20 May 2010 and the winner will be announced on the 21st of May 2010.
Good luck!

My son recently got circumcised. Every time he speaks to my sisters or mother on the phone he would blurt out and say that his totolozi (penis) is sore. So I told him to never tell other people that it is sore, if it is, he should tell me or his father. So on Sunday (Mother’s day), I was hosting a friend and her kids. The kids were playing outside and he left them to tell me something. In his loudest voice he said, “Mom you see, I am a good boy, I have not told Aunty Vuyi that my totolozi is sore. Aunty Vuyi, do you want to see?”. He is only turning 4 in September.
Our sons where playing in the play room, when they spotted a spider, they then asked “Daddy, what kind of spider is that?” Daddy then answered ” a daddy long legs spider”. A couple of days later, our youngest son comes running, “Daddy, daddy come quickly, help … there is another “daddy legs spider” … He used to call a ‘mosquito’ a pisquito and a butterfly is a flutterfly. We going to miss these cute sayings.
My Dad (who my daughter calls Dandad) was taking my Daughter – who was about 3 years old – to the shops, she was strapped in her seat in the back of the car.
On the way home he had to take evasive action as a reckless driver almost caused a major accident, and my Dad – in a short burst of rage – shouted, “You dozy bastard!!!”
They came to a stop at the traffic lights, and a little voice piped up from the back of the car: “Which one was the dozy bastard, Dandad?”
I love “flutterfly” and “pisquito”!
5 year old Zeke was watching his Mom breast feeding his new baby sister. After a while he asked: “Mom why have you got two? Is one for hot and one for cold milk?”
We almost died laughing.
Kazaan that is brilliant!
we hadn’t seen my parents for about 2 years, as we live literally on the other end of the world. my husband is contracting in indonesia and we’d been travelling locally and exploring. long story!
anyway, we visited back to the UK and were picked up at the airport.
Tabitha was shy at first when introduced to her grandma and grandpa.
she stood shyly peeking up at my rathr wrinkled mom as we hugged and chatted then asked “grammy, why doesn’t your skin fit your face?”
My eldest son now 17 was about 3 when he and his dad who had a quickly receding hairline were bathing. He looked at his dad for a while and then said, “daddy your hair is nearly all finished
My Middle son Dylan then aged about 6 has a very straight forward way of speaking. both his grandfathers were smokers and both had recently died one of emphysema. We were at a party and one of the older laddies were smoking outside. He went up to her and said – you know what – You are going to Die.
When my son was 3 we started swimming lessons. At the time Bay-watch and Pamela Anderson were on tv. As the sound track came on my Hubby and son would run around saying WHOO WHOO Boobs. At the first swimming lesson that I took him too as teacher got into the pool and took off her top what did he say : Thats right WHOO WHOO Boobs. I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me up. Dad the real culprit was kilometers away.
My 7 year old daughter asked me this week when could she have her own credit card!!!
Makes you shudder!
I had to giggle and then she got all shy and I wasn’t allowed to tell ANYONE!!!
My son is a character and comes up with the most amazing things. I was reprimanding him one day and in true mother style was carrying on an on. Eventually he put his hand up, looked at me and said AMEN Mom AMEN. I was horrified and said how could he say that, he look at me bewillered and answered. They told me at catechism that Amen means “so be it” and I was just agreeing with you, that you are right, what I did was naughty.!!!
A friend had bought us a box of litchis, she had given them to us, when my 2 and a half year old daughter was already in bed. The next morning I was in my room getting dressed, when a vey worried little face came barging into my room. “Mommy, you need to come quickly, there are some strawberry’s dying in the kitchen, how can we help them?” – I had to laugh, when I realised that the poor child had never seen a litchi before, but strawberries were here favourite.
Often we hear our children but do not really listen. I was in the car ( stuck in traffic ) with 4 kids ( aged 7. 11,12 ) when my youngest asked mom what is a Grave. As I was very aware of the pre teens in the car I went off in full steam telling them how bad RAVES were and that that where drugs were sold and how bad drugs were.I had a captive audience so was not letting this golden opportunity to point them in the right direction get away from me. After about 10 min my son says ” why grandpa go there ) ( grandpa had recently died hence the question. Moral of the story – Be careful what you hear
