Similar to my little brother when he was 5 or 6: “Mum, is that lady pregnant?” The lady in question had just eaten too many pies.

Another time my little brother upon seeing a punk rock dude with a dyed mohican asked mum, very loudly: “Why does that man have hair like a chicken?”

“Daddy, today I learnt Fire Engine Siren on the recorder.”

Soul-destroying rather than funny, perhaps, but y’know.

Not so much funny, but it’s so lovely hearing them talk about things that really engage them at school.

The other day in the car my son, who rarely tells me anything about the day he had at school said…

“Daddy, did you know in 1969 that there was a man that went onto the moon for the first time and his name was Neil.”

“Did he? That’s cool!” I said. “Do you know who the second man on the moon was?”

“Oh, no, I don’t.”

“It was an astronaut called Buzz.”

“Oh yeah! I forgot that! Oh, boy! I’m such a goldfish-brain sometimes! And there was another man called Michael, but he stayed on the rocket and didn’t go on the moon.”

There was a bit a year or so ago when my nephew rang me up at work to tell me that he liked trains :heart_eyes:

Man, those moments make all of the totally irrational hissy fits worthwhile.

My son is really into trains. He’ll just sit and watch videos on YouTube that trainspotters have made. So weird. One came on the other day which is a compilation of the 10 fastest trains in the world, which is one of his faves. It started and he said “Ah Daddy, this one a crassic” (can’t say ‘L’ very well).

Nephew was at Kew Gardens and a mother duck waddled in front of him followed by a string of ducklings. He looked at the ducklings and eventually said “They don’t know anything, do they?”

F learned that from watching Bubble Guppies on Netflix and regularly talks about skeletons inside you.

@Witches your BUMS thing reminded me of us getting a cab at 3am to the airport 2 years back. I had to wake her up and carry her to the cab and as we left the house said quietly, “We have to be quiet, okay?” “Okay, dada,” then, yelling to my wife locking the door behind us, “WE HAVE TO BE QUIET, MAMA!”

When my old housemate’s little girl was about three he came home really upset after he took her to the park, asked her if she wanted to go on the swings and she said “yes, but I’m afraid you’re too fat for the swings Daddy.”
