If you’ve ever spent time in the company of a toddler, you’ll know they have no filter. What they think is what they say. And they say the funniest things. No matter where you are! Here are a couple of conversations we’ve had lately.

In the shopping mall. A very loud pfffffffttttt sound is heard. Love Bug {at the top of her lungs} Mumma, did you fart? Mumma {almost as loud because, well you know, I needed to make my answer heard} No bubba, I didn’t. Mumma, did you fart just a little bit? Oh, look … there’s the car park sign. Let’s get out of here!

Driving to grandmas. Crossing an intersection at a green light. Learner driver in front slams on their brake {for no obvious reason} so I do the same. What happened mumma? Nothing darling, the car in front of me just stopped really quickly. Naughty car. Did you smash it mumma? Um, no I didn’t smash it. Did you smash it a little bit?

Are we sensing a theme here? For the record, I’ve had one car accident in 20-something years of driving. And it was in a very similar situation when the person turning the corner in front of me at a green light stopped suddenly. But this time I most certainly did not smash it. Not even a little bit.

Mumma getting dressed. She points at my boobs. I used to drink from there. Yes you did, lots of bubbas drink milk from their mummas. {Looking at me as if I were crazy} It’s not milk mumma. It was yummy for my tummy.

And my current favourite mispronounced words:

Mecimens {medicine}.
Affocato {avocado – heavy on the ffffffff}.
Mimato {tomato. Quite often mixed up with affocato, and not just in her salad}.

Out of the mouths of babes.
