When my oldest son David started nursery two years ago they were teaching the kids about drugs and that nicotine is a drug. My husband is a smoker and a reserve police officer, so imagine our surprise when heard our son telling people, “My dad is a policeman and he does drugs!”
One night I was changing my four-year-old’s shirt. He looked at his chest and asked me what the two “dots” were. Because he was so interested, I told him the truth, using the the correct term. Then he pointed at my chest and asked, “You have them too?” I said yes. A couple of days later I got a huge blemish on my forehead. When my son noticed it, he said to his daddy, “Mommy has a really big nipple on her forehead!” My husband had a kick trying to explain to him the difference between a “nipple” and a “pimple!”

Bloopers, blunders, and just plain brilliant observations. Kids can be quite amusing at times, without even knowing it!
My son’s little friend at playgroup died recently and he asked what did ‘died’ mean? I told him that his friend’s grandma didn’t hurt anymore as she’d gone to a nice place called Heaven which was sunny with a beach and icecream. (That would sound like a nice place to him!). He went very quiet and replied ‘That’s ok, her grandma won’t be lonely because my grandad and grandma live in Devon‘! Very cute.
