Alan Zoff Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I don't know if we have had a thread on this line before but something my granddaughter said on the phone this evening from Cheltenham amused me.She had been on what she referred to as a "double-echo bus" with her mum and when I asked her what a double-echo bus looked like, she said it was a normal bus with another one that's got no wheels squashed on the top. I could visualise it perfectly.Fares, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frecossais Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 My grumpy grandson had "got out of the bed on the wrong side" today, I told him as he dragged his feet going to school."But I only like weekends," he explained. What a lesson to learn at only 4 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEO Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi Alan,She called it as she heard it !She has never seen the words "double decker" written ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEO Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 On reflection ,I would give her "ten out of ten" as "decker" is not a proper word in the english language .It is slang,which she is not entitled to know yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Zoff Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think she must get it from her Mum, our eldest daughter.She has always been a very outgoing individual who is difficult to overlook in a crowd. We were attending the primary school play one year, during which the infants had to sing the old favourite "Who built the ark?" The audience of parents found it very difficult to suppress fits of laughter when a very loud response came back, quite innocently, from our little girl: "No one, no one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Zoff Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hogging my own thread here but I have just remembered another one.When I asked my granddaughter what she had done that day (it was Autumn and I knew her class of tots had attended the local church for the annual food gathering service) she told me proudly that she had been to "Harvey's Vegetable".
