Isnt it weird how kids pick thing up they hear, my daughter Erin [7] as singing the twelve days of christmas song the other night and I couldn't believe the words she was singing.
two turtle doves ....... and a partridge in a tuna pear tree.
She was singing it with such oomph , she wondered how i nearly wet myself laughing. she has now sorted her lyrics.

:D :D

They are wonderful :)

I remember many years ago when I was teaching a reception class, a wee lad stood up at our Christmas Concert and sang " Away in a manger no crisps in the bag ....." :D :D :D

Our middle daughter always used to sing "two turtle ducks"

I think the kids vesion makes more sence and is better fun!!

I remember many a year ago singing 'Jingle Bells, Batman smells....' to the obvious tune when I was at school, and couldn't believe it when my wee lad (8) and his friends all came out of school last year singing the same song :)  The look on their faces was pretty cool though when I joined in with them :D

I love school concerts though when they all get up to sing, some sing with gusto, some mime and others (with fingers up noses) singing a completely different song to anyone else and totally oblivious to the parents cracking up in the aisles - oh Christmas, what a great time of year :D

Ive been in a bit of trouble with my two older kids when they were little over carols in school concerts.One was "we three kings of orient are,one in a taxi one in a car....etc". the second was the worse one, "Away in a manger,no crib for a bed,The little lord Jesus got kicked in the head" !!!!!!!!! You could imagine the look of discust on the teachers face..he he he :)

Hi not connected to christmas, my 10 year old asked me what a physcopath was--7year old daughter was so pleased she knew the answer -- 'it's what you ride your bike along'  ---bless

LOL Spyro that was brilliant! My oldest when a toddler told us she had a cold, but her granny (who wasn't ill) had a WARM!

They say we turn in to our parents but it happens early in our house ( i've sounded like my mother form the moment my son was born ..)
but my son is 3 and he sounds like me, i hear him playing with his toy and he says things like

"i've told you once and i'm not telling you again"
"I don't want to hear another word about it"
"Will you be quiet"

And the one i use the most ... " ENOUGH!"

last week we had visitors,a friend of my husbands and his wife,my daughter is very shy and didnt speak for the two hours the couple were here,just before leaving the wife said do you mind if i use your toilet before we leave ,and my daughter asked loadly ,do you need a poo or a wee???????

When my youngest daughter was 5 years old and i was pregnany with my son we all went shopping.We stood in a que and just in front of us was a rather robust chap.In a really loud voice my lovely lil girl asked "Mummy,is that man having a baby too?" You can imagine how red i went. :)

my daughter said i could not go to her school concert if i sang
we three kings of eldon square selling ladies underwear quite fantastic no eleastic only tuppence a pair.

Oh its all coming out now,  mis - spent youth!!!!! It's great to make the kids cringe. I have threatened to join in the carols at her school and sing noel at the top of my tone deaf voice. She said she isnt going to hand in the letter for me to get tickets!!!!
