    We got the bus just recently and while I was paying, our youngest, 4cyclones, went and sat in the 'special'seats up the front.

    I went and sat in the normal seats and called him to come and sit with me. He wanted to know why he couldn't sit where he was. "Those seats are for elderly and disabled people" I told him.


    "Well YOU'RE elderly!" he piped at top volume.

    I could hear all the rest of the bus tittering behind me.

    Are they not priority seats meaning you give them up if they are needed by someone less able than you so in fact no issue with mini Clive utilising it.

    As the world isn't special enough for minimeisters I'll have to duck out of this thread.

    My mates daughter when asked what they should call her soon to be born brother, did chip in with "Parsnip" as a suggestion though.
    I like to annoy him by calling him that.

    Someone once told me that their 3 year old son saw his first ever Sikh man in the street and bawled out:

    "Look! Alladin!"

    They say that many a truth comes out of the mouths of children.

    Well I reckon your youngest must have obviously been looking at this forum and seen that you often go on like an old woman :D ONLY JOKING!!!

    Don't have any kids, but my dog once got "excited" in public when surrounded by a bunch of women.

    Many years ago my wife was walking to the local shops with a 2/3 year old and a baby in the pram (remember those?). 3 year old said oh look at that sweet little man; where said my wife; behind you was the response - my wife turned to see indeed a "little" man. She apologised but he said - don't worry, that is nice compared to what a lot of people say.
    Same daughter on Moor Park train station (changing trains,Clive, we did not live there) was struggling on a station bench - what is the matter said my wife; I've got my bl**dy welly stuck came the three year old's response. Titters all round from commuters.

    Whilst waiting at Leighton Buzzard station a midget walked past and my daughter, who must have been about 4, said very loudly "Look at that funny boy" and pointed at him.

    My 10 year son screamed "**** off" at a lifeguard at a water park in Macedonia on holiday 3 weeks ago, when they took an inflatable ring off him. That was definitely a low point.

    Florets obviously.
     
  9. When my son was one year old his vocabulary consisted of one word - 'bigabum'. On a holiday to Sydney, we boarded the Manly ferry and watched apprehensively as a rather large lady waddled on and headed for the row of seats in front of us. Needless to say, as she sat down immediately in front of him, my son shouted out his only word at the top of his voice. Luckily for us, he hadn't yet learned to say '****' as they were even larger.

    Whilst on holiday with another family, the conversation round the table got onto how all politicians are idiots.
    My 10yo son, who has obviously heard the odd politician's name crop up on the news etc, started shouting "Jeremy Colbyn, Jeremy Colbyn"
    I corrected him saying its actually Jeremy Corbyn, but then I guess he changed who he was shouting but got muddles and shouted loudly "Jeremy C**t"
    Unlike TV presenters who mix up the names, he wasn't aware that it was a bad word - well not until he saw and heard everyone else's reactions to it!!

    My son, while standing in a lift, dropped his shorts and trousers and shouted surprise at the lady standing next to us. In fairness to the lady, who was probably 70+, she said she wished her husband would surprise her like that occasionally

    Seems like perfectly reasonable behaviour to me. I did exactly the same thing just last week.

    I cringe thinking of this event, but 25 years ago we used to foster, and one of our kids (3 yr old), when on the beach at Salou, ran straight across a three dimensional sand sculpture of an octopus and mermaid of about 4 yards across, that had apparently taken 2 days to create. The small crowd that was watching were really mad with me and, I am ashamed to admit, I said something that was unforgivable. On the spur of the moment I said something like, "I'm sorry, she's not ours, we are just looking after her."

    Not my finest hour.

    "Sitting" is fraught with dangers.
    We looked after a huge wolf/German Shepherd "Chunky" for a friend of my daughter. Chunky loved people but was unpredictable with other dogs. In Cassiobury Park at the bridge over the canal a dog made the mistake of sniffing Chunky who turned barked and tried to eat it. The people said to my daughter you want to keep your dog under control" Her response which still makes me cringe today was "well he doesn't like other dogs sniffing his bottom".

    Theres a gaunt looking mother at sons school with an illness or eating disorder of some sort that make her teeth point out and combined with lack of weight, she frankly does look like a scary skeleton.

    However the day after halloween, son complains "why does that lady get to wear her costume again today when I can't". In earshot of her and half the other parents.
