Thread: Out of the mouths of babes.

Our two daughters where born and bred farmers, well until uni and marriage altered things a tad, anyhow the eldest was about six and my father was quite ill , so hogarth femme thought she should broach the subject of mortality .

She sat with our daughter and asked” Do you know what happens when people are sick and may die” .?

” Yes, you take them down to the bush and skin them “

Today, due to my being incapacitated I got the 16yo Son to mow. He did about half the yard then came & asked if he could finish it tomorrow? I said it had to be done & he might as well keep going.
His reply "It's bloody hard work you know!"
Yes, I said, I usually do it!
Yeah, but you need the exercise.

Cheeky bugger.

PS It will be finished tomorrow!

My daughter with special needs fell asleep one night with her glasses on as she was on her tablet in bed. Next day I mentioned it and she replied
"To see my dreams".

Was in a big hardware place some time ago and I over heard a little one tell it's mother that he had been to the toilet. "So you found the toilets alright?" said the mother. "Oh yes" said the child pointing to one of the display units.....

So the Grandkids are over again,the doorbell rings.
I am in the toilet,so young Zara,I think she around 5yrs old runs outside and tells them I am in the toilet having a poo.
Anyway,eventually Mrs Scarry goes and sorts it out.

Then they are with us at the old fisherman’s shack at Arrawarra.There is something in the letterbox,I can see it half hanging out.So I get the 7 yr old grandson to go get whatever it is.
He pulls it out and reads it,it’s a flyer from the local real estate agent.It says we will give you some $$$ and bulldoze the house.
So he comes running inside in a panic saying someone is coming to bulldoze the house
Then he says we need to rip up the piece of paper into a million pieces and put it in the bin.
Which he does,
So now whenever the phone rings I say to him that might be the guy who wants to bulldoze the house.
He is still trying to work out exactly what is going on with the bulldozing

What's so funny about correct terminology?

"OOOHHHHH,that was wonderful. Do that again!!!"
OOOPS wrong type of "BABE".....

So the oldest Grandson,is now 8,and has just got Kids messanger.
Its messanger his parents can monitor,and only has certain approved friends.

Anyway,he has been annoying me today as he is off school,because SHE shut all the schools and TAFES,i still cant work out why,except to inconvenience thousands of parents,i presume,but that story is for another thread.

Amyway,i sent a message back and asked if he has done all the jobs around the place,mowed the lawn,cleaned the toilet,pulled out a few weeds,and i get this back.


"I don’t do that (although I’ll have to do it later in life)*groan*"



I couldnt stop laughing.
