Appologies if there is a similar thread somwhere, but I couldn't find it.

My seven year old nephew is still on half term. I looked after him yesterday, and Mum has had him today.

Whilst having our lunch together in Accrington, I asked Mum what she would like for her birthday. She said she didn't want anything, and then my nephew piped up, 'you can buy some cream for wrinkles, I've seen it on the telly.' Mum happily laughed, thus getting even more wrinkles I suppose!

He'd spent the morning watching a DVD of the film Elf. As we were leaving the cafe he whispered loudly 'look, it's an elf', about a very small man we had to squeeze past. Thankfully he didn't hear, but we were in stitches at his lack of tact, and had to explain how it was rude to call someone an elf, whilst trying to stiffle our giggles.

This is the same little diplomat who on Mother's Day last year, at a Sunday lunch in my Mum's honour, blurted out 'when you die Grandma we're going to use the money to buy a conservatory.' My brother choked on his roast pork, and swore that he had never said anything of the sort for him to over hear. Again my Mum has a great sense of humour, and it made her day.

Any other children's quips, that have made you squirm or laugh...or both?
