Kid's do you have any?

[magnatom]

2 boys. The oldest is 3 and the youngest is 17 months. Great fun and hard work all at the same time!

You just can beat moments like we had last night. Our oldest was talking on the phone to his grandparents about a trip we had to our local sea life centre. It was his first trip there (been to another down south). He loved it and he seemed to latch on the the phrase 'sea life centre'. As in

magnatom junior (MJ): I've been to the sea life centre!!!
MJ: Have you been to a sea life centre???
MJ: I loved the sea life centre.
MJ: I saw shaaarks!! in the sea life centre.
MJ: Do you have a sea life centre??
MJ: In our sea life centre there were SEA OTTERS! WOW!!

etc.

Mrs magnatom and I were in hysterics!

None for me, and it doesn't look likely now, which I think I'm ok with. I have my lovely little nephew to dote on, even if I don't see him as much as I'd like, (off to see him tomorrow), and if he gets a sibling, that'll be even better.

Nice to know this all makes me worthless, anyway...

It was Daughter's birthday on Sunday so we had 7 4/5 year olds at Edinburgh Zoo on Saturday.

"Look, look, look! Daddy, look at that!"

It was a robin!

 

[Fnaar]

3 for me (that I know of, anyway, hur hur)...

 

[4F]

3 here, 2 girls and 1 boy (10, 9 and 5)

 

[goo_mason]

1 - 8yr-old daughter

 

[postman]

4 girls.2 from first marriage so if my maths is correct 2 in this marriage.

 

[ChrisKH]

Two boys. 5 and 8 (soon to be 6 & 9).

Probably another thread due for this sort of thing but as Swee'pea99 said money can't buy what kids say sometimes. I try to stimulate some debate when I'm giving them a bath of a night time and we were doing so some maths and spelling in the bath. We got round to soap and I said "How do you spell "soap?" "S-O-A-P" said eight year old. " What is your soap called?" I said holding up the soap box. "I know, I know" said the five year old, "It's called Dave".

Oli has yet to say anything, as such, but back in July when we were all my Mum's, my sister was showing off his talents - she put his rag book in front of him, open at the cat/dog pages and said "where's the cat?" and he pointed at it.

Ah, I thought, here's a test, so I said "where's the dog then?" and he pointed at my Mum...

Apparently, he's currently using the same vague set of syllables to mean "banana" and "grandma"...

My brothers are supplying me with plenty of nieces and nephews so I'm quite happy gearing up to be the kind of long-distance Auntie who'll come into her own when they go through teenage rebellion and need wise counsel, trips to the pub and shopping expeditions.

There are plenty of worthy worthless people on here and only one who has expressed that view anyway...

Pure selfishness - What about my pension and people to empty the bins. It's not you, you, you, you know

 

[Cycling Naturalist]

You make me feel very old. My youngest is 24.

 

[Arch]

I believe Arch is a part-time recycling bin person

Well, casual, rather than part-time, but yes, I am...

No nephew of mine is going to empty bins. Unless he wants to, of course...

You're casual about it? I'm surprised Arch as I wouldn't have expected you to approach any job with a casual manner.

*visions of Arch chucking stuff about everywhere in a "can't be ar$3d" fashion*

You've obviously seen me at the end of a hard week...

BTW, you and Crackle are going to have to fight it out to see who changes their avatar, I keep getting you mixed up at a glance!
