Made me smile

No idea actually!

"Trod" and "trodden"? obieone

Best thing they could have done for her educationally that is.
She treaded water at the primary school, and would soon have treaded water at the local comprehensive.

I dont totally agree with private schools, but I breathed a sigh of relief when her parents sent her there. Best thing they could have done for her.

Or a journalist sunseeker. The girl who I knew who was 5 going on 11, is now a journalist.

Please be careful what you accuse me of.There are some things I don't find at all funny.Thank you for your attention.

It seems to me that alot of things on GN need to lighten up a bit. There are certain people posting on here, I notice, who describe a post as " silly" if they don't happen to like it or agree with the poster. It isn't silly to throw something up for discussion. I think back here to my Phone sex Operator post

Isn't it refreshing when somebody who has been posting for such a (relatively) short time, brings us up to speed regarding our manifold shortcomings.
Not taking any sides in whether or not it would have made me smile, but children's logic usually does.
Not all adults' though.

sunseeker nothing wrong with your post......but as to some posters!
nothing wrong with a hot sausage roll either ( unless you live on them.)
cherry I agree about children, one minute they can't produce words and the next they are telling anecdotes , so funny.

Nice to hear of a child arguing her case in a reasoned way, much better than demanding 'I want' or a tantrum

. Go on then....

Well...actually I am quite interested in the phone sex thing now .

Yes. You're right actually. You can get some very know-it-all clever little so and so's these days.

Riverwalk .

I find the original post very believable. When my DGS was about 6 he solemnly explained how having a Mini-magnum before lunch wouldn't spoil his appetite because that's not how his body works!

Don't primary schools teach them loads about nutrition these days? My grandson is always trotting out the "it might make me obese" stuff.

What sort of age was the little girl?

I find the original post hard to believe. Tbh. Sorry.

Doesn't ring true. Sounds like one of those things that circulate on the Internet.

And "smart ass" could mean intelligent, bright, enquiring, curious....

Do you mean ones who look cute but are seen and not heard?

I suppose one person's 'cute' could be another person's 'cheeky'.

Marmark1 If I were to take your post as seriously as others have taken mine I could say that perhaps store security should be informed that you are looking for cute children! Mothers Beware!!!! See just as silly a response as some of those to mine

It wouldn't have made me smile,I don't like smart ass kids,I like the cute ones.

I thought it was an inoffensive light hearted post too. Many of us enjoy hearing what wee ones say without needing to try to make particular points.

My stock answer to my children when they argued about what they wanted to eat was " when you can cook, you can choose"! It settled a lot of discussions and yes they both learned to cook!

Yes sure there must be an opening for older phone sex operators with a sense of humour ! !

Aren't little ones wonderful! - it would have made me smile too! No doubt Mum was trying to hold back a smile too.
