J: Mummy, you like mushroom hoops don’t you?
Me: Mushroom hoops?
J: Yes, those (pointing at a sign)
Me: They are onion rings!

J: Which train station are we getting off at
Me: Liverpool Street
J: Liverpool? That’s Granddad’s team! Are we going there?
Me: No, sometimes streets are named after other places. There may be a “J” Street somewhere but you don’t have to live there (this was a bad example I know)
J: One day can we go to “J” Street?

J: Rain, rain, go away, come again another day
Me: That’s a nice song.
J: Mummy, why is it still raining? I just sang the song to make it stop!

J: It’s not been a very good day Mummy
Me: I’m sorry we didn’t get to see Grandma. We’ll see her soon.
J: If you’d have let us go and see her first, them we would have seen her. I’m really sad and it’s ALL YOUR FAULT

Sat on the train to London talking about the things we are going to do today:

J: I can’t wait to see the dinosaur bones!
Me: I don’t think you’ll be able to touch them though
J: Why not? I can’t hurt them, they are already dead! Aren’t they?

J: I think we might see Killer Whale bones
V: We might see a big blue whale! It’s mahoosive!
J: Erm, I think you mean massive Daddy!
V: No mahoosive, it’s even bigger than massive!

J: What is a museum?
Me: It’s where you can see things from a long time ago.
J:Before we had electricity?
Me: Yep!
J:So were the televisions like on Peppa Pig when they had a power cut and Peppa got inside?
Me: Not quite!
J: What about the washing machines? Did someone sit inside it and clean the clothes?
Me: There weren’t any machines people just washed their clothes with their hands!
J: That’s a bit rubbish! I like our super washing machine!

More words of wisdom from the 4 year old! Got any to share?

(Chatting in the car about dinosaurs)

J: Some dinosaurs are a bit naughty aren’t they?

Me: Yes I think so.

J: And do you know, some penguins turn to a life of crime! (he seems to have remembered to the word what Sir David Attenborough said on Frozen Planet!)

(After I just made him laugh when he had been crying)

J: I’m happy, but I have tears. I think there is going to be a rainbow on my face!

(Wrapped in a towel after a bath)

J: Mummy, do you think I look like baby Jesus?
