My 8 year old grandaughter came out of school today and asked her mum "what do virgins eat".
Somewhat perturbed by the question and after asking her about todays lessons it transpired she knew that vegetarians dont eat meat and of course mean't VEGANS.
Phew ! One very relieved mum and one granny laughing hysterically.

I know I'm naughty for laughing but I just couldn't help it.
It was so funny and my daughters face........... was a picture.
Little ones are great.

LOL Catherine!!!

..reminds me of the time my daughters (about 8 and 6 at the time) were on a train playing 'I-spy'.
Elder daughter was coming out with 'S' for space etc.
Then came 'O'. We couldn't get it and triumphant in winning again she shouted out at the top of her voice 'Orgasm of course'!


......well, the carriage fell silent.........


as the tumbleweed whispered past us, I managed to gag/swallow the fit of giggles that was rising in my chest and shout just as loudly 'Organism? name one then!!'

I can still embarrass her with that one - over 22 years later!!!

when our daughter was about 4 years old we went shopping to the local shop that was very much like an early supermarket. You had to queue for the dairy products but could go around and select the other groceries, I was queuing and we were just outside the shop. someone had tied up their dog whilst they shopped and my daughter spotted it and was very bemused by the fact it was obviously a bitch who had pups cos her teats were hanging ,She suddenly piped up "Mummy that dog is rudery ,its not wearing any brasseries!! " All eyes then lit onto the dog before a lot of amused laughs suddenly erupted,all visualising as i was the dog standing there with about three pairs of bras slung under its undercarriage.

when my daughter was about 4 she went to the local post office with her nanna. when they came out an old lady greeted them both, she had known nanna for years. now whos this the old lady asked? nanna said this is my oldest grandaughter who smiled sweetly. the old lady got out her purse and gave grandaughter £5.00. she said thankyou and then added, "ive got a brother as well". the old lady being a bit deaf didnt quite catch that, but nanna did and promptly made a swift exit. my daughter said, what nanna, i did say thankyou and i do have a brother as well. i suppose now i will have to give him half. grandmother didnt know what to say when she was insinuating that she should get more for her brother, and at the same time tried not laugh. we still mention it sometimes. still her heart was in the right place!!

I remember a few years ago when the movie Lilo and Stitch came out, my mother and I took my twin neices to see it at the theatre. It go to a part in the movie where Stitch takes a bra/bikini top out of the washer and puts it on his head. Well, my little niece pointed at the screen and then said really loudly (well it seemed loud at the time) "Those don't go on your head, they go on your boobies"

The whole theatre burst into laughter. I had to look away from her and have a laugh myself.

My FIL was teaching my two girls to swim in the grandparents pool. The youngest had her flippers and snorkel on and she was all of three years old. Poppy (Grandad) came inside later laughing but he had to keep a straight face at the time.
She said to him I did a very good swim didn't I Poppy with my testicle.

This same child when she was a few years older and we too were playing I spy and her object was something starting with i and the answer was the incest burner.

One small gson aged 2 1/2 was at the dedication of a new church with his mother and older sister. The Archbishop in all his regalia was officiating. During silent prayer, one loud voice was heard to ask 'Mummy why is that man in a nightie wearing a funny hat?' When I asked dau if the Archbishop heard him she replied if he didn't he was the only one as all she could hear were sniggers and shoulders shaking! Eighteen years on have never looked at an Archbishop in the same way since.

This afternoon I read a story about a Hippopotamus to my youngest granddaughter aged 4. When her mum came to collect her and asked her what we'd been up to she said, Granny read me a lovely story about a Hottapissamus :-D :-D :-D
Priceless.

Many years ago, younger sister, pregnant with her second child, who is now eighteen, was watching a programme on the television with her son. It was about the birthing of a foal.

Sister said to young son, " that's how you were born"...

reply : "did I use to be a horse"
