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!!

Go on, guess!

We were at that painful stage, last week, of paying for our new bed.
Lil Man rushes up to me.

LM: Mum! I NEED your phone!
Me: Why do you NEED my phone?
LM: To take a picture! Quick!

He came back with the above photo.

Me: What is it?
LM: Not what mum, WHO!
Me: OK, Who is that?
LM:(looking at me like I’m dumb, because I didn’t get it!) Bob Marley!

Just told Lil Princess to stop talking and finish her breakfast.

“I can’t help it mummy, I’m like you, a chatterbox!”

Well…. That told me! (Again!)

It only takes a couple of minutes… Kids Logic part 7

So we managed to ~~get rid of the kids~~ no sorry, ~~palm them off on the in laws~~ nope that sounds bad! Arranged for the kids to have a sleepover with their grandparents and uncle and aunty in Valentines night.
My Sister in Law (SIL) told me the next day about a conversation she had with Lil Princess (LP)…

LP: Why have they sent us here tonight?
SIL: Because it’s Valentines Day, and they wanted some time together.
LP: I know what they’re going to do… KISS!!
SIL: Erm…
LP: They could have done that when we were there… We would have turned round. It only takes them a couple of minutes!!

(Oh, 😮the innocence of children… From the mouth of babes and all that!)

Lil Princess: “Mummy, how do babies get their blood?”
Me: “Well, you know your belly button? That is attached to your mummy inside her tummy, and she gives you all the blood you need to grow, that s why you have one.”
Lil Princess: “Oh, ok.”
Lil Man: “So that means Adam and Eve didn’t have belly buttons then.”
Me: ” Why’s that?”
Lil Man: “Well, they didn’t have a mummy, God made them, right?”

Can’t argue with that, eh?!
