She never ceases to crease me up, my Lil Princess!!
So tonight we were trying to ring her uncle and aunt, but no answer. I rang my brother-in-law’s (BIL) mobile and handed it to her.

Me: Talk to him when he answers please.

Lil Princess sat holding the phone and it rang and rang, no answer, until the answering machine kicked in.

BIL’s phone: “Hi, you’re through to *** at Pitney Bowes…”
LP: Muuuum! He says he’s picking his nose!

I cut off the phone and was literally rolling about on the floor!!!!

Yet another children and what they hear classic!!!

Don’t you just love it when kids ask you certain questions? It was a conversation with Lil Princess about love today… And Lil Man joined in.

LP: Mummy, where do you find love?

Me: What do you mean?

LP: Like when I want to get engaged, where do I go to find a person?

LM: Just on the street, you know, you just meet them!

LP: No, Mummy, tell me!

LM: Ask Daddy. (Funny, as I am always telling them to ask Daddy instead of me all the time!)

LP: But I want to ask Mummy, because she’s a girl, and so am I! So Mummy, where did you find Daddy?

LM: They met at university, don’t you know?!

LP: But Mummy,how did you know you were going to get married?

How do I get into these conversations with children…? !

I love the way you smile.

Eyes light up and cheeks grow fat,

Precious little child.

Who does he/she look like to you?

Lil Princess had a spillage…

When I went to wipe it, I did a double take!

It was like the profile of a person!

Please tell me, who does it look like to you?

Last night the kids were sat next to me watching The Voice UK and as usual Lil Princess was unable to contain herself, she grabbed one of the mics from our Playstation Sing Star set and belted out

LP: Annie are you ok? Are you ok innit!

Since when was Michael Jackson speaking Hinglish?

And the dictionary identifies how the ubiquitous “innit” was absorbed into British Asian speech via “haina” – a Hindi tag phrase, stuck on the sentences and meaning “is no?”.

The last time I heard, Smooth Criminal was set somewhere in the U.S.!!

It reminded me of a time when Lil Man was being educated in urban music, with my Trevor Nelson CD.

We were listening to Adina Howard’s Freak Like Me and a short rap comes on

“1 to the 2, to the 2 to the 3

Adina do you wanna get freaky with me.”

Lil Man’s version?

LM: 1 to the 2, to the 2 to the 3

Baby do you wanna get a sweety with me!

I prefer his version!! Every time I hear the song, I sing that now!

Do you have any great misheard lyrics? Kids do it all the time!!
