We have had a few ‘funee’ moments over the last few weeks. A is always funny and as the first day at school approaches, she has swung from being a very grown up ‘big’ girl one minute to being a clingy baby the next with lots of good reasons why she shouldn’t go to school, such as; “I can’t go to school as I’m too little/tired/silly/” I love that being too silly could be a good excuse not to start school. I wonder if that could be an excuse to get out of lots of other things …?
On the more grown up moments, she trots around the house with her plastic phone in hand telling me that she is just sending a text message to someone, or downloading some music. She has apparently downloaded the soundtrack to Frozen onto her pretend phone and sat listening to it and singing along. Her brothers thinks she is barmy but I think it is quite funny.
We are on a constant quest to try and get her to try new foods and once again we were discussing the ‘v’ word. She is not keen on vegetables. I was discussing the fact that they would be really good for her but she turned to me with a smile and said; “but mummy, my taste bugs are different to yours and they don’t like vegetables!”
A and I were lucky enough to have a girl’s day out at Lollibop a few weeks ago and we met Chris and Pui from Cbeebies and had our photo taken with them. I was possibly more excited about this than A but when we came out, a turned to me and asked; “Were they the real Chris and Pui, or someone dressed up as them?” When I stopped laughing, I explained that they were real but I had this wonderful image of them peeling off their ‘Chris and Pui’ suits once out of the tent.
My final ‘funee’ this week comes from lovely L, the newly 9 year old who was watching an advert for a certain face cream that claims to make skin look younger after four weeks. Firstly he said that the advert was stupid as no-one could avoid looking in the mirror for four weeks and he thought they didn’t look any younger at all. I told him that I used the cream. He turned to look at my face and said; “well that cream is a right con then, your face looks really old!”
Children are so lovely aren’t they?
Love this!! My eldest now ruins the illusion saying “its a man in a suit” but to say it about the real people is hilarious!

Yes I say that to her all the time, so I can see why she thought it. It did make me chuckle though.
lol love this. Mine get confused with people on the tv and whether they are real or not. We explained about cartoon characters, but then they thought footballers, etc weren’t real. I love their thought process. x

I suppose we do give them so many conflicting things to deal with, especially with so much TV and films where the same person plays different roles. A did ask me once why there were so many different Justin Fletchers as he was on so many different things.
Ouch! That told you!
Such a funny thing to say about Christ and Pui. It must be confusing meeting real life people off the telly at A’s age. I know even at 8 my daughter gets confused about what is acting and what’s ‘real’ on TV.

It certainly did tell me but then he always is very honest. I think she was confused because we often talk about people dressed up as different characters but it did make me smile.
