Thankyou for cheering me up on a bit of a stressful day. Was reading through the others as a way to de-stress, but laughed out loud as soon as I saw yours. Ta Much
With not having kids there's not much to add to this forum. I remember my mum saying the hardest question she had to answer was when I came to her, as a very serious 4/5yr old, very nervous because I wanted to know what a word meant that I thought was a swear word. Sitting there expecting something from the banned words list and having a prepared answer ready didn't really help as the word was "wally", and trying to be serious when all you want to do is laugh your head off is one of the hardest things in the world.

That reminds me of the time I asked my dad what this means (at which point I stuck my 2 fingers up at him) but he was slightly "less than understanding" about it! Still, from that point on I knew it wasn't a polite greeting.
Another funny one was when we were over at my auntie's house, who had twin girls. They must have been about 1 or something and my auntie was bathing them in a little bathtub in the living room. My little brother would have been about 3 at the time and he asked my mum and auntie "when will Fiona get a willy?". Classic!
