One from my son ..

[Frenchie]

Can't stop laughing, but trying to keep tongue in cheek .. 

My 13 year old son just asked me - " mum , is Oxford a very big city ?" 

                                                     -  " no, it isn't "

                                                     - " It is well known though ...  Must be because of the cahiers  Oxford..  ( Oxford Notebooks ..) "

[:)][:D][:D]      Indeed, can't see any other reason ...     [:D]  

[Gemonimo]

Wonderful innocence Frenchie, loved it.  Here's one from my daughter then aged 8...

Me: Would you like some rhubarb tart for pudding?

Daughter: No thank you, I don't like reindeer.

Me: What do you mean you don't like reindeer?

Daughter: You know mummy... Rhubarb the red nose reindeer.....

One from Mr Clair's youngest who was 5 or 6 at the time (he's now 21!), after his dad had explained to him that there were no such things as video players when Mr Clair was his age...

" So Dad, how did you watch your videos???" [8-)]

My daughter, after a tortuous trip to the Eurotunnel because of thick fog - why do all those signs say F O nine ? (FO9)

My son when he was 6: "Dad"?

DAD: "Yes"?

SON: "If mammy and Gracie (little sis) die"?

DAD: (looking concerned) "Yes"?

SON: "We could have a two seater convertable couldnt we"?

We were having some sliced chorizo with our Raclette dinner and our then 5 year old daughter said that it was too spicy.  I said that it was "Chorizo fort" and she asked if "chorizo five" was available [blink] 

[Frenchie]

Oh Lisloise ..that' s  sooooo   cute !!!

[:D] [;-)]

[Suze01]

That's what we thought at the time but she really didn't appreciate us laughing at her 'cuteness' [:(]

That is why I did not laugh openly at Guillaume's " Oxford's notebooks" but believe me I was giggling inside !! [:D]

Whilst our daughter was enjoying her 5th birthday party with her friends, my son, aged 3, was apparently feeling a bit left out of the celebrations.

Eventually he remarked defiantly "When I grow up, I'm going to be SIX!"

My son Jay (then aged 7) had his friend Andrew round for tea and we were discussing the time of day when various family members had been born.  Andrew was very impressed to hear that Jay was born at 3.00am.  "Gosh!" he said, turning to me "Did you wake up specially, Mrs West, or did you wait until the morning?".

When my brother and I were children, we used to visit our grandma in London about once a month. There was a rather large and swanky antique shop that we always passed on the way. One time, my brother Simon (then aged about 7 or 8 ) studied the shop sign, and then asked "Mum, whats a an-ti-que".  "It's antique dear, and that  means an old thing, a very very old thing" she replied.  Simon thought about this for a moment, and then asked "Mum, is grandma an antique then".

My son at 7 was offered a ride in his friend's dad's super new car.

Instead of asking things like how fast it could go etc., he asked

"Is it yours or the firm's"..

I think  you can all guess the answer...

When my mother-in law told my 6 year old son "When I die I will be buried in an orange box",he asked her was it because orange is your favourite colour!!!!!!!!![:D]

`My son about 7 was practising his writing and was moaning how difficult it was, when he turned to me and said " It must have been really hard for you to learn to write at school mam with a quill and ink"   [:-))]

My nephew, Ross, was on caravanning holiday with his mum, dad, sisters + grandparents a few years ago when, one evening, he went to ask my mum (his granny) what a 'potato clock' was, becase grandpa told him they were getting one the next day.  Mum went through various options with him to find out what he meant but got nowhere - she finally quizzed my dad and realized that what Grandpa had actually said was that they would have to 'get up at 8 o'clock' tomorrow as they were going sightseeing for the day! [:D][:D]

Took our 9 year old to see the doctor over xmas.

The doctor informed us of his diagnosis: flu, our lad jumped in with "Bird flu?!".

You had to be there I suppose... [:D]
