What amusing things have your children, or anyone elses for that matter said to you ?
My five year-old asked me the other day "Daddy, do pigs lay sausages ?"

My 5 year old came running in the other day demanding a packet of crisps, i asked her where her manners were. She turned round and said i dont know

LEN!!!!!!

Some of my friends kids have cracked me up over the years, including my mates son. When I told him to take his hand out of his pants (well, we were in town at the time) he insisted he was scratching his tentacles.....

I remember eating half a packet of Solvite wallpaper paste as a kid by dipping a spanish into it. Ended up in Accy Vic having a stomach washout (nice)...

I remember being 5, and when you got hurt or something was wrong - all it took was your mum to give you a cuddle and tell you everything was alright - and suddenly everything was.

I also wish I could skip along the street like a 5 year old without looking weird!

y'know tha skipping thing has never really appealedt o me, but the free- everything was cool.

Why was the summers hotter, and there were more snow in the winter when i was five?

It was great back then, there weren't many cars in the mid seventies and on a hot day we used to spend hours popping the bubbles in the tar on the roads.

Seventies summer - who remember's having to have vinegar and olive oil rubbed on then burning. Must have reeked. Also getting a good hiding for messing in the tar like
Lettie and Grego.

I remember having vinegar put on to stop itching, yes it used to stink.

ooh I was a tar popper too.

When my oldest daughter was much younger she was playing with our dog and he scratched her with his paw. She complained that he had "bitten me with his leg"
