Children Say The Funniest Things! (2)

Last weekend I attempted a 4 hour drive (each way) and a weekend stay with friends without my OH!

The 4 hr drive turned into 5 hours with 1 hour spent travelling only 6 miles of the M5 - thank goodness we'd just stopped at the services for a comfort break. However that hour was spent listening to my son shouting repeatedly 'Go mummy, go round the cars, tell them to get out of the way' (hmm road rage in the making).

We had a delightful weekend even though he tried his best to corrupt his godparents little girl by behaving atrociously (I told them it was a compliment and they didn't hesitate to put him on the naughty step). It was a weekend filled with trips to the park, a birthday party and generally causing mayhem.

At the dinner table there were two little gems:

'Mummy, they don't call you Auntie Dougalfish for nothing!' - delivered with the correct intonation and a straight face!

Then to his godparents daughter (14 months his junior)
' _______ I love you more than ice cream' (they were eating ice cream at the time and it was just too cute though her parents looked worried when I said that was tantamount to a marriage proposal!).
