my 4 yr old niece......

I was admiring her prolific artwork on the playroom wall, all family drawings, always with attention to detail like pupils and eyelashes even down to fingernails, one very elaborate one had her long hair and I asked her if it was a self portrait,

'no, it's ME!' she said

my mum was walking past the graveyard with same niece when she asked 'what's that ?'

mum didn't want to give too much detail in case she wasn't ready for it so said 'it's where you go when you die'

'oh, a cemetry, you mean' she said nonchalantly

on cemetries, when my daughter was small she asked me what all the stones standing up were as we passed a different cemetry, so I told her ' when you die and get buried they put those headstones there to mark where you are'

she coolly asked, 'so where do they bury your body then?' :lol:

when my father in law passed away my daughter was 5 and this was her first experience of a family death, I was trying to explain as gently, simply but truthful as possible and told her ' grandad's body has gone to heaven, but all his love inside his heart is still here with us and inside our hearts'

'so how does he open his mouth to eat his dinner now?' she asked, I stumbled over the answer, she listened patiently then hopped off the sofa and said 'can I have my breakfast now?' soo accepting.

A few months later school had a fancy dress day to celebrate the queen's 50 yrs as monarch, I made her a queens outfit with sceptre, corgi and cardboard crown but needed a piece of red velvet for the crown centre.

OH told me to use the velevt bag the box of his dad's ashes came in (which were now scattered at the goalmouth of the KOP and a few in our front garden !) I hoovered out any remaining ashes apologising to the ceiling as I did, she looked very regal even if I do say so myself.

After a wonderful day in school I asked her if she felt grandad was with her today, thankfully the answer was a simple 'yes' and not 'my head was very itchy'!! :b

When my friends dad who was Ukrainian passed away, she had a traditional funeral for him where the coffin is opened the evening before and the deceased lies in state (as it were) . My friend worried about how her young seven year old would be with this as she didnt want him to be scared or anything - she neednt have worried. Everyone was sat quiet, and the coffin was open in front of the rows of seats. My friend again reminded her son that grandad had died, and had gone to heaven etc. He looked at her and at the coffin and said in a rather loud voice, "Well if grandad has gone to heaven, who the hell is that in there then?" pointing to the body. You couldnt help but laugh!

It is only a few words that I am putting up that my daughter said. She is 2 1/2 now.

She used to call gravy - Lick and had to have it on everything even scrambled egg :x Luckily she is off that now.

Salt was called Soap.

Swimming is called Fishing.

I am sure there are more but I can't think at the moment.

When my daughter was little and we were going to London on the train, I told her we would soon be going on a little red train under the ground, "Why? is it dead"she asked.

My first whippet Meg took my bra off the clothes airer and ran of with it, Quick Mummy, Meg has the thing for your two tummies!!!!!!!!

The first time she saw an air liner she said, look, a bus in the sky!!!!!!!!!!

On spotting two nuns on the bus, look Mummy ping pings!!!!!!!! Her word for penguins. :lol:

Boiled eggs were called boiling eggies!
