He's so cool he wore his red polka dot sunglasses to bed!!!!  I did try to convince him he didn't really need them, but oh no he was adamant!!! 

Kids eh!

I have a photo (somewhere ;-) ) of my daughter wearing her swimming ring to bed when she was about 2 years old. :-D You just have to love them, don't you?

I quite often see little ones wearing their pyjamas on early or late flights but recently I saw one little boy defiantly wearing a batman costume including mask :-)

Easier to let him wear it than explain the limitations of wearing a lycra costume to a hot Middle Eastern destination I suppose.

lol, my 6 year old son insists on wearing odd socks! It can be quite embarrassing, despite me always pairing his socks up in his draw! I always wonder what his teachers must think and people in general especially when he wears shorts! :)

LOL

When she was 2 my daughter wore her new RED wellies everywhere including to bed - for 2 weeks    Nothing I said would convince her to take them off :-D :-D

Just love them at that age :-D :-D

When my son was two he insisted on sleeping in the box the lawnmower came in. He slept in a box on the floor till he was 5. I had to keep finding bigger boxes:-) I hasten to add he had a perfectly nice bed which he shunned. It was quite embarassing when his reception teacher came for a home visit!

at that age my nephew insisted in sleeping in the dog crate at my parents. the dogs were rather miffed.

Thank you I really needed something to make me smile tonight.(bad family news),...that did it ;-)

This tale is absolutely true and it still makes me shudder and laugh in equal amounts.When my son Ian was about 7 ,his class had to read out at morning assembly a little bit about their parents.I  was at assembly every day.So there I was sitting with the teachers and assorted friends and other parents when my lads turn came.I was smiling in that adoring way mum's do,when he launched straight into-and i remember word for word-"my mam likes to stay out at night and stay in bed in the morning.she uses soap on special occassions".I could feel all eyes in the hall turned my way,some people were grinning knowingly and others were looking as if to say "we knew there was something".To say i wanted him to be struck dumb at that moment is an understatement.At the end of assembly I had to go round to the headmaster and everyone else to explain that I worked until 10 o'clock at night and sometimes got up at 8 instead of 7o'clock.Also i had a special butterfly shaped soap that Ian had given me for mother's day which i was keeping so when he asked me when was i going to use it,i said that i was saving it for a special occassion.Still,you've got to laugh haven't you-or you'd cry!:)x

> When she was 2 my daughter wore her new RED wellies everywhere

At age 6 my daughter insisted on wearing her wellies to A&E after she injured her finger in a fall.

When I suggested she might be more comfortable in her trainers she told me she needed to keep her wellies on as they were SAFER ...

What on earth did she think they might do to her in hospital??!! :)

I have one of those pictures he is two in blue denim dungerees, wellies in red, swimming goggles on the top of his head and one of my watches!!! comes out when ever he gets a new gf.

The opher picture of my eldest is when he was about 14 months sat in the dog bed with my mums 8 puppies wearing a white T shirt and nowt else.   Couple of seconds later a pup bit his winkie!!!!!

Funniest tale was my brother who had a wee in the stingers and My Mum had to blow on it afterwards!!!!!!! There is always one in every generation.

My brother always stared off in bed but every morning my Mum had to crawl under the bed to get him out!!

Sam always said trainers made you run so whenever he wore them he ran everywhere!!Anyone remember LA lites? they were boots with red lights in the heels,  he wore them to piceces, Oh this post is bringing back memories thanks so much.

Bed wellie wearer here as well ! :-D She has also been known to go to bed as a Pumpkin !

It was a couple of years ago now but there was a wee boy in town that defiantly walked round with the full Buzz Lightyear outfit!  In summer!

My parents got called into my younger brother's (then aged 4) school to have a 'chat' with the head. Turns out he had written " my mummy & daddy make me use dirty rolled up jeans as a pillow and and my air bed goes down all the time" We had been camping and forgotten the pillows. They were soo embarrassed! :)

When my sister started as a primary teacher she had the daughter of the teacher in the next classroom in her class.
They had Diary Time where they all stood up and read out what had happened that day.

Her colleague's child stood up and said " My Mummy had no clean pants to wear this morning so she is wearing my Daddy's Y fronts".

The poor woman had 30 little pairs of eyes trained on her later that day. :-)

I clearly remember my oldest (Now32) just after getting to the stage of going shopping with out the pushchair (After the " your too old for it now and can walk" battles) and seeing a woman in a wheel chair and her saying..very loudly... " She is too old for that pushchair now and should be walking like me!" Oh how I wished the ground would open up and swallow me!! She was the one too who whenever anyone said to her " where do you live" she used to answer "In a box" !!! never got to the bottom of that one?

I'm so glad I started this - been great to read everyone's post!  When I got Sam up he wasn't wearing his sunglasses any more so don't know how long they stayed on!

Not long ago we took Sam's sister Zoë to a local shopping centre and she insisted on wearing her full Snow White outfit - dress, cape, clip on earings, necklace, and hair band - the nice thing is lots of people smiled, obviously happy to see a little girl being a little girl as they grow up so quickly nowadays don't they.

I went to a friends Dad's funneral about 4 months ago and the youngest grandaughter went as Snow White, Grandad Im sure would have loved her for that!!

As a youngster one of my friends was holding his mums hand stood at the roadside waiting to cross. He was stood by a little black girl who was ndoing the same. He tried to rub her face as he though she was dirty. He'd never seen a black child before so assumed she must have rolled in dirt to make her brown. The innocence of children is cute, only when you grow up do you relaise how un 'PC' it is!!!

I had a slight speech impediment as a child and when i saw a young boy sucking his thumb in the lift i looked at him and said " I -uck my fingers too" instead of suck :-) My mum says she has never been so embarassed in all her life. She was mortified.
Mum slapped me once when she thought i was swearing but i was actually trying to say 'fat controller' from thomas the tank. I will leave it to your imagination to work out how i pronounced it!! :-) :-) :-)

That is sweet.
A quick tear moment.

When my sisters FIL died all the grand children turned up wearing a variety of badges, brooches and frog memorabilia that he had given them over the years, (he had a thing about frogs).. the youngest child was 22!

My younger brother (17 years younger than me) went shopping with my mother - he must have been about three at the time. He picked up a bag of pasta twists and said very loudly "Here you are mummy, you can get these to have with pesto sauce when you've drunk too much wine". She was mortified!!!! :-D :-D :-D Not as much as she was with me - one of her friends from university (was very Norty of him!) gave me a t-shirt when I was 5... I loved it, cos it had a picture of a magic wand and loads of stars, and was really colourful, and we had huge battles cos I always wanted to wear it, and she kept trying to persuade me to wear something different. Oh - did I forget to mention, it had a caption under the picture - "It's not the size of the wand, it's the magic in it" ROFL!!! I seem to remember that t-shirt mysteriously disappeared, and I never could find where it went.

Nearly crying reading these... classics!  I remember my whole family being in hysterics when my then little brother got a bucket stuck on his head with the handle under his chin... crying his eyes out but we couldn't stop laughing to do anything!  (we did get it off him eventually!)... he also thought he was a muscle man and when he was 5 tried to carry a concrete slab but dropped it on his foot and broke all his toes  eeek!   This is funny but don't watch if the F word offends you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pj2Nutu5v8
