Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Yesterday my 'darling' 6 year old daughter was playing with her friends and decided to play with my keys, without asking and without letting me know. I came to send to send them to school this morning, hubby had looked the front door when he went to work and could i find my keys, she couldn't remeber were she had been playing with them or whether she had taken them outside, you can imagine my horror!! My house keys my car keys, I had visions of waking up tomorrow morning finding nothing left in the house and they'd piled it all into my car to take it away. A frantic full day of ripping the house apart and some 'light' questioning when she got up from school still didn't turn the keys up!! Alls well that ends well i found them at the back of her bedside cabinet that i honestly must have checked 3 or 4 times already, i just caught sight of a glimpse silver hanging over a wire.

Has anybody elses children ever struck them with fear like that?

I once got back to London with my nearly 4 year old in tow, late on a Sunday evening. Got to my front door, no keys. The friend I had been staying with had a 4 year old with a fetish for handbags. She had removed my keys and hidden them! She was in Stoke on Trent .... HELP!!! -

Fortunately I had left a key with a friend in London, in case of emergencies. THIS WAS ONE! She drove over, we got home, frozen and exhausted.

Mind you, mine have had their moments .....

There was the never to be forgotten occasion when Catie, aged about 2, decided she would "help" with the housework. Only took a couple of minutes - when nabbed, she was spreading washing up liquid over my quarry-tiled kitchen floor with the dish mop. Despite frantic washing, I skated every time I went in there for days! Ahhhh!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I had a new inner front door fitted 3 years ago, solid hardwood with an oval frosted glass panel in the centre. The very next day my daughter, granddaughter (then aged 2) and I arrived at my all-locked-up house, opened the front door and went inside, leaving keys in the house. A passing neighbour called out, as Laura was toddling down the hall, and my daughter and I stopped in the porch to speak to her. Laura slammed the door shut. As the door was new I had not yet passed a spare key to my next-door neighbour so it was a case of smashing the reinforced glass panel to get in. It cost me £75 to get the joiner out that afternoon and a new glass panel put in. :(

Kids, don't you just love 'em?

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I once found wool, and tied it EVERYWHERE in the house when I was small. I bet my mum enjoyed untangling the spiders web!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

now ive a match for the washing up liquid, nette (who is a member on here ) used to love nothing better than getting the wash powder out & flinging the powder all over the kitchen floor, & then give you a beautiful grin, she was only 12months old at the time (sorry sweetheart)

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

lol at all your stories it reminds me of my son who has children of his own now ,we had just got a new carpet and tony who was about 5 at the time was merrily throwing flour all over it singing shake and vac and put the freshness back ,i diddent know whether to laugh at him or cry for my carpet ,but they are all lovely memories

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Another grandchild memory for me. Grandson Peter, who is now 19, aged about 2 got up early one Sunday morning and decided to do some housework before Mummy got up. He got the dog's water dish and a cloth from the kitchen and bathed the video machine, then dried it off with a towel - and talcum powder. Nana and Grampa (me and Himself) were woken at 8 a.m. by a frantic phone call from Mummy, wailing, "What can I do?". Grampa said to put it out in the back garden for the day where the wind could dry it, then vacuum it. She did; it recovered; it still works.

I won't go into all the things my own 3 got up to. We'd be here all night. :p

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My eldest son was once stood at the bottom off the stairs looking out of the letter box. I could hear him shouting something but didn't know what he was saying. So I went over to him and he was shouting ''GAY BOY GAY BOY COME HERE GAY BOY!! HELLO...GAY BOY'', I pulled him away from the letter box and cringed, when I looked out of the window there was a man riding passed on a horse!! what he was trying to shout was ''cowboy''

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

And another time when my youngest son was posting 10 pound notes through the letter box to the outside. Good job it was raining and stuck them to the path.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

*sigh* And I have all this to come. I'm relativley safe at the moment - he is only 15 months old.:D

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Not long to go then, love. ;)

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

The worst he has done is hit a child at playgroup so far. I was cringing, but also took into account that the aforesaid child was twice his size and is a spoiled little madam at the best of times. Plus she was pushing him over to get his biscuit, so she got what was coming to her in my opinion. I didn't tell him off TOO much.;)

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My granddaughter has been to the Infants' Disco at school this evening. Her boyfriend, Francis, was there (he's blond, handsome and all the girls fancy him - he's 5). Laura said he smacked her on the bottom!!!!! "Like this", she said proudly, tapping her own behind. God help us in 10 years time. :D

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

he he he brilliant stories, thankyou, they made me feel a whole lot better :D

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

enjoy the kids while they are little they grow up in a flash ...

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My son, Miles (now 26), when he was about 8 told me that when he was grown up he was going to have a Porsche. I said "That's great - will you take me out in it?" His reply, in all seriousness, was "Yes, Mummy, I'll come to the Home every Sunday and take you out"! So now I know ......

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

:o My lovely little darling had Mummy cringeing in her boots again today, there was a knock on the door, my cute little girl girl goes to answer it and with the loudest voice you have ever heard come out of a 7 year old announces "MUM THERE'S A REALLY FAT LADY AT THE DOOR FOR YOU!" :o :o

They never teach things like that in sex education lessons at school or I may have stayed child free!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My daughter did something a bit like that when she was about 4 years old.
We were on the bus going to Accrington and we were on the side seats near where the conductor used to stand (that dates me...!) There was a VERY pregnant lady sat on the opposite seat. My daughter was fascinated by her.......I used to tell my daughter that if she bit her nails they would collect in her tummy and her tummy would swell up and eventually she would go off with a bang.
The very pregnant lady got up at the Hospital to get off the bus. My daughter tugged on her dress and gave her a vey knowing look and said ' I know what you've been doing '
She blushed and got off the bus hurriedly.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I was walking trough Accy years ago with my younger daughter,then aged about 4, now 35, when we turned a corner we almost walked into a very large black lady. We all had to stop. My daughter pionted right up at her astonished face and loudly proclaimed, "DADDY I'VE GOT A DOLLY LIKE THAT HAVN'T I" OOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Didn't you just wish the ground would open and swallow you up......or better still the errant kiddie winkie....?

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Another time I was walking through the old asda on blackburn rd with my 3 year old son. We had parked the car and were catching the wife up.You know how kids have to touch and drag their hands over everything. Well you guessed it a young lady was bending over filling a lower shelf and his hand went just were it shouldn't. The young lady stood bolt upright with a start and glared at me in a very accusing manner. IT WAS HIM, I GASPED> A likely story she screamed and almost took a swing at me.. It was him honest !!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

:rofl38: YEAH course it was Fireman :signntme: .......... so kids do come in handy when you need someone to blame :D lol!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Why did I know I was making a rod for my own back. Ok it's open season girls steal my karma. I walked into it .

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

when my lad was about 5 we were stood at the bustop,in the queue was a man with half his face covered with a dark red birthmark, my lad who is now 32 pointed at the poor guy and said to him HEY MISTER WHATS THAT ? ive always reckoned im very hard to embarass but i wished the ground could have swallowed me up lol

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My then 4 year old son (now 21) & i were sat in Asda foyer waiting for the free bus. There was a small old lady also waiting he kept looking at her & looking away then back again. All of a sudden the lady put her hand to her face at which point he piped up "ooh your hands like your face all wrinkled & crinkled" To which she very nicely replied 'you could be like me one day' We were both gobsmacked when he said "I hope I'm dead first" I really did want the ground to open up and swallow me.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Another embarassing moment was when my youngest was 3. We go to stockcar meetings cheer our favorite drivers and boo those we don't like. One day I was carrying him round the pits he was looking behind me. He suddenly started shouting 'Boo Smithy' & kept repeating it I told him that was enough but he wouldn't stop. You've guessed it Smithy was about a foot behind us & my little 'un had recognised him. My other half shot off leaving me stood there feeling really guilty and Smithy laughing.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

when mine were little they had these explorers belts that had things attached to it like test tube, magnifying glass, tweezers etc. One day they went out "exploring" to the spare land down the side of our house and when I went out 5 mins later found they'd gone a bit further than they should have but could still see them so I shouted for them to come in and the youngest came back with a big smile on his face and proudly presented me with his test tube and said loudly "I've found a big balloon". Funny balloon it was a used condom!! Try explaining to a 5 year old why he can't blow it up :eek:

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Just this morning my little girl (5) said to me oh mum we will have to get you a denim jacket then we can all wear one, ( i had put both my son and daughter in them for school).

Then my boy (4) piped up yeah we will get you a big one i said thanks for that jack he said well you are alot fatter because of all the babies you have had!!

Yeah all 2 of them, they certainly know how to make you feel better.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My grandaughter tonight anounced thet "school mashed potatoes are horrible, they don't have those nice lumps in like yours do mummy".............

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Last week we were on holiday. There was activities for the kids to do during the day to keep them out of our hair.
This one day I was reading through the activities when I saw fencing. I asked the children if they would like to go fencing, the youngest piped up and said '' mum I dont want to know how to build a fence, can I do something else??''
Well me and his dad were in stitches and he just stood there looking at us like we had grown another head. When I explained what it really was he jumped at the chance lmao!!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I was asking my boy jack, if he will look after me when i get old he said yes and then he piped up but if ive got a girlfriend i won't.

charming!!!!

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

My 7 year old says he's never leaving home! when I asked him what he would do if he got married he said 'she can live with you as well and you can teach her to cook' aah bless

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Teenage grandaughter came downstairs for a date, wearing a very sheer blouse and no bra. Granny had a fit and says Don't go out like that. Teenager says Loosen up granny these are modern times you got to let your buds show,and out she goes. Next day teenager comes down stairs and finds granny sitting topless. Teenager wants to die, and explains she has friends coming over and that it is not appropriate. Granny says ,Loosen up sweetie if you can show off your rose buds then I can display my hanging baskets................

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Daddiboo and i were telling our 5 year old girl boo that Alexander Graham Bell invented the first telephone and the first call was made between him and his assistant in the next room.

Boo's reply was how many cameras was there on that phone !!!:)

Daddiboo and i just could'nt stop laughing.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I was in a sandwich shop with my daughter when a really fat man came in and ordered two potato pies. Maddie, very loudly, said "I bet they're both for him".

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Please refrain from giving too much information about your sister’s tuft. :) Now in regard to your daughter, please don’t punish the child. Individualism is something rare in today’s youth so you should embrace her for her desire to be different, you should also remember that one day the little bug – might be in a position to stick you in a Nursing Home when your older. So just be understanding and take her to one side and beat the little sod………..:D

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Last time I attacked my own fringe was when l was sixteen. I was going for a Human League look, but ended up looking more like the missing link from the human food chain.

You could always get a hairdresser to give the little imp an urchin cut, like Mia Farrow in Rosemary's baby.

On second thought perhaps not, as if she's anything like her Mum she'll be devilish enough.;)

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

HEY a number 2 cut will even it out!!! oops only joking tinks. It's times like this I'm sooo glad I had 2 boys. :)

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

It seems to be girls who get into more trouble than boys.

In the space of a week my daughter broke her collarbone and cut her finger wide open - both injuries required a visit to the local A&E...

But then saying that, my son was admitted to hospital when his Chickenpox got infected - I got a phone call at work one afternoon from my wife to let me know that he had been admitted. I was on the motorbike that day, and that had to be the quickest journey from Eastbourne to Tunbridge Wells ever...

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

How about when your daughter calls you in the middle of the night sounding like the world is falling in and you think there's some emergency then when you stumble out of bed, fumble across the hall into her room and ask what's wrong she says 'oh, it's ok, I don't want you now'.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Follow the advice given in post No: 51………………:D

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

I have considered myself a millionaire since my grandkids were born they are a lot of fun I can buy them things I ciuld never buy my kids years ago, just to see them beam when they see me is worth a million. Love it, Love it. Love it.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

You've reminded me - I did the bubblegum in the hair thing when I was young. Only way to get it out was to cut it out.

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

nette was quite good with the scissors, she did the same when she was young, then my son was due to be a page boy on the saturday, & she sorted his hair out too, quick trip to the barbers followed all well in the end. kids he he he

Re: Kids who'd have them!!!!!
 

Ellie's too young to have done her hair any damage, but I've messed it up once, just her fringe, but I thought it would be a good idea to trim it whilst she was in the bath, I pulled it straight and cut it with the nail scissors, anyway what a mess, it was very short and not at all straight. Fortunately one of my friends has her own salon which happened to be open late and she sorted it out for me, though she had a very short fringe for a while and looked a bit daft, I've never done it since. More embarassing though is Ellie's obsession with willys, in the chippy the other night Ellie said at the top of her voice "Mummy does that man have a willy" I didn't know where to put myself the man was slighly embarrassed too!
