Funny things grandchildren say

Erm, I think we all accepted that the farmer shouldn't "lift the poo" Pollengran, which sort of brings us back to the beginning.

Sorry, confused, brain ache and am no longer completely sure of my grip on reality, it is reaching the stage where Digby is starting to look as if he might have the answer to life, the universe and everything, (which some of us will know is 42) however I very much doubt if Digby is capable of any thought beyond a concern regarding the current level of cat biscuits in his bowl.

The grandchild! Bless him.

Who the hell said he should?

You have sent me scrolling back, not understanding, avoiding hashtags since my Stephen Fry days. Totally .

I honestly don't think the farmer should lift the poo. So there!

You don't say! (#ffsasjingsmightsay)

Well,Pollengran you have achieved something, the first time I have used the # thing!

I think your post of 20.25 might have been a tad premature, but benefit of the doubt and all that

That is not a word Phoenix .

That post was in response to Nanaandgrampy, just to make things clear!

Prizactly!

The way I write is wry. I love GN, and I mean no harm at all. I tend to have "a face on me" that does not come across in the written word.

I do love the site, and it has given me so many insights and advice that I am grateful for.

I also observe people quietly, and try to bring that to the surface when I can.

Being nice and agreeing with everyone is fine, but the best threads for me are those that get everyone going.

I appreciate that is not what everyone likes, sorry about that.

Good question Phoenix I had to go back and retread and there's no clue it's lighthearted a smiling emoticon might give us a clue and god knows I have no clue

GS2 aged 3 was watching Max Whitlock's phenomenal floor exercise and said "It's just running and spinning, I can do that!"

Ok, so why such serious posts on threads??

I think we would be pals

Hey, bit unfair, Pollengran ! I just apologised for previous posts in case they were deemed a bit harsh of whatever!

No, never a prefect, much more likely to be the one metaphorically having a smoke behind the bike sheds!

Phoenix, were you a Prefect at school? I feel like hiding behind the bikeshed now with my hand slapped from you .
As for slippers.. I wear my old Uggs at home. Bliss .

I have never talked about slippers, don't even wear them, even though Mr P in a misguided moment bought me some for Christmas a few years ago! (Goodness knows why, possibly last-minute-shopping-desperation syndrome? )

I was at the library picking up books for the book group. I explained this to GS (5) who thought about it for a few seconds and asked:'Is that all about philosophy, Granny?'.

I then had to give him a short dissertation on the difference between Plato and Aristotle.

Pollengran, I apologise if I seem to be having a "pop" at you, or being facetious, but I truly think that to get the most out of Gransnet, and I do speak as someone who has been a member from the start, you might get more out of it if you perhaps took some posts a little more lightly?

(I would have suggested"lighten up" but got a roasting on another thread for using that phrase! )

If I didn't express my strict views you would all be talking about slippers instead.

Please don't take me seriously, my grandchildren report me for my bad behaviour all the time .

Pollengran

DGS had decided to keep a diary over the summer , notebook of impressive size was purchased and said journal has been full of writing and drawings ............. until last week . No idea why , but he tried to fill it in this morning , I found him red faced and cross , I have phenomenal memory , he announced , but not about last Monday !!

Quite right too, Luckygirl we can't have unbridled frivolity, every action has its consequences and these should be emphasised/stressed/drummed home at every opportunity.

We would be irresponsible people if we didn't do this.

Love these stories about the things kids say. I'm sure the children also enjoyed (and understood) the lectures on the merits of picking up sheep poo and the one on refracted light - whatever we do we mustn't allow them to just enjoy themselves.

But.. Maybe she could have also explained the cost of poo bags which are only 99p in home bargains, and suits cat and dog lovers but might not work for the farmer.
If he were to add that to the farmers EU allowance that may bankrupt him if he has to pick up all the sheep poo.

I DO kNOW IT IS A JOKE. NO NEED TO SHOUT At ME AGAIN. Jeez.
