Juvenile Jibber Jabber

[Chicky]

My SIL has just told us that she’s pregnant ( ) and my brother sent a video of them revealing it to my nephews (5 and 3). My brother gave them the scan picture and asked what they thought it was. The transcript is as follows:

Brother: What do you think it is?
Nephew1: Ducklings?
Nephew1: is it a Bat?
Nephew2: is it a squirrel?
Nephew1: Oh it’s a hurricane!
Brother: No it’s something that is inside mummy
Nephew1: is it her skeleton?
Brother: no, it’s something that has arms and legs
Nephew2: IS IT A HAMSTER??
Nephew2: is it an owl?
Brother: it’s something that’s growing inside mummy
Nephew1: a baby! Mummy’s body is trying to make a baby! It’s very little at the moment.
Brother: what do you think Nephew2?
Nephew2: GOOD.

I am HOWLING

That’s hilarious!

[wendy james]

Ha, brilliant.

[nineseven]

Aw. An owl

[Rhodonite]

A hamster!

Congratulations, Chicky!

[Jet]

An owl. With arms and legs

L couldn't find a toy car earlier and I swore I hadn't packed it but couldn't really guarantee I hadn't but we looked anyway and couldn't find it and he suggested:

"Maybe a mystery took it"

Ali talks more or less non stop these days and is constantly cracking me up. This morning we parked at nursery next to an absolutely massive shiny new black Range Rover and out got an impeccably dressed mum with really expensive looking highlights. There’s me in my dribbled on t shirt with marmite from Ali’s breakfast on my jeans (looking suspiciously like something far worse). Out hops Ali, he claps eyes on her brand new £100k+ car and his face lights up. “Mummy! Look!” he shrieks at the top of his little voice. “Is bin lorry!”

[Toast]

I LOVE this!

[Squirrel]

Aww that’s so sweet and funny Chicky.

“Mummy! Look!” he shrieks at the top of his little voice. “Is bin lorry!”

Mahahhaa! I love this!

[sally maclennane]

An owl. With arms and legs

Tbh, whensomeone shows me a scan photo, I might as well be looking at an owl for all I can make out

Ali and the bin lorry

Sproglette had a bit of an earworm yesterday. "Strategy! Do doo doo doo doo doo do doo! Strategy!" I cracked and played her The Bee Gees and corrected her eventually.

[Livilla]

at Sproglette and Ali

“Mummy! Look!” he shrieks at the top of his little voice. “Is bin lorry!”

Bless Sproglette.

Mine seem to be having some kind of identity crisis. I made curry twice in the past week which isn’t unusual but overheard a conversation between the boys.

M: she’s making curry again. Do you think it’s because she’s Indian.

T: yes, definitely. That’s all nana and Nani (my parents) eat and they are definitely Indian as well. Isn’t that right, Mum? You’re all Indians.

Like it’s nothing to do with either of them.

[Jet]

That's hilarious.

[Hazey_Jane]

That’s brilliant Olive!

[Heebie Jeebie]

Olive I love the detached interest. That prompted me to go and find the post where T said to Mr O "no offence, I know you're married to her" which cracked me up the same way

[Squirrel]

That has really set me off! You’re all Indians

[wendy james]

You’re all Indians is genius.

[olive]

Olive I love the detached interest. That prompted me to go and find the post where T said to Mr O "no offence, I know you're married to her" which cracked me up the same way

Yes! That’s exactly it. Detached interest. It’s like T seems to view my lack of penis and my ethnicity as some kind of odd quirk that he has to humour.

[Jet]

Quirky penisless ethnic olive

Not that I’m one to talk what with my lack of peen and foreign words. L seems unconvinced about this and basically rolled his eyes and laughed the other day with an “of course you have a one, otherwise how can you pee??”
