This weekend we are babysitting. I come in from this mornings training ride and Tom ("I'm nearly 5!") takes one look at me in my Assos suit and asks quizically "Uncle Gavin, are you in Star Trek?"

Awww.....bless....... :oops: :mrgreen:

  • My friend's kid once overheard a remark made by his mum regarding another woman's footwear.
    Ever since, whenever they are in the street/supermarket/library/etc and the kid sees a similarly shod woman he screams, "Red shoes, no knickers! Red shoes, no knickers!"

    Assos more Captain Scarlet than Star Trek IMO

    judging by the look of Assos kit I'm surprised he didn't say: "Uncle Gavin, are you gay?"

    Driving back from a party last year, all quiet in the car and assumed that daughter was fast asleep. After about 10 miles of silence she suddenly asks: "Daddy, what would it sound like if you stood on an octopus?"

    One of our kids was about 3, I think, when I took him to the loo in a department store. As my lad is washing his hands a guy comes out of the cubicle and leaves the loo without washing his own hands. My son rushes after him into the crowded store and shouts to the guy "excuse me Mr you forgot to wash your hands after going to the toilet"

    The silence is followed by a bright red guy who, to his credit, tells my son he's right and then goes back into the loo and washes his hands :)

    Priceless :D:D

    My son aged 3 asked our neighbour, who always went into his garden for a cigarette, if only bad people smoke.

    I have 3 children. My wife and I once bought a book with diagrams and drawings explaining how humans have sex. We showed it to the two younger ones when they were aged about 5 or 6. After looking through it my son looked at me and said in an amazed voice... 'And you've had to do that three times?!!'

    A few years back,when I was dropping the wife off in town for a night out,I had my two boys in the back of the car.When we stopped at the traffic lights,& a crowd of women crossed the road,my eldest,about 5 at the time,piped up,"Dad,where are that herd of women going"
    Never a truer word spoken :D
    so many cols,so little time!
  • I was in Tescos with the boy (then aged 5)
    we approached the vegetable area where a women was picking up two melons.....

    ....my son exclaimed in all innocence " wow daddy look at those melons they're huge"


    (mental image as to how she was holding them both)

    I was once told this tale by a headteacher of a (inner city) primary school, for children with learning / behaviour problems.

    He had asked his class to think of ways they could help their parents out at home. The usual answers, "tidy your room" "make your bed" were suggested until one lad, from a 'well-known' family said, in all innocence.....
