crazy things you (or another adult) said to your child...

[mizfissy815]

you just tell them you bought it from the baby store, that one usually works until the age of 7, at which point they don't quite care anymore :D

When my twin siblings were born and I was about 5 yrs old, I asked my dad that question...

Dad- Oh, you...umm.. buy them from the hospital.
Me- oh I see...but how come you bought two now, but only 1 the other times?
Dad-...umm...because...there was a buy one, get one free offer...so everytime you pay for one, you get the other one as gift...
Me- ooooh...

Mom- :smack:

lol :rotfl:

I was thinking of making a thread like this anyway - about crazy/daft/amusing things that adults find themselves saying to small children mashaAllah...... and I saw this post and it soooo made me laugh and is perfect mashaAllah to start my thread :up:

me: but Ruqayya sweetie pie, you can't wear three shoes cause you've only got two feet!

Ruqayya: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!


she has three shoes, because she managed to lose one of her first pair of shoes so we had to buy her a second pair - couldn't get the exact same pair again but got a similar looking one in a different colour..... so she has three shoes. She totally loves shoes (proper lil lady innit :inlove: mashaAllah) and often wants to wear the spare shoe... around the house I sometimes let her wear odd shoes lol but not for going out! A couple of times she's wanted me to put the third shoe on her when she's already wearing the matching pair lol :D

Allah sends an angel to blow the soul into the womb

[Tahiyah]

kids naturally wanna know where babies come from

there are plenty books available for children of all ages, explaining the process to them, at their age/level of understanding

this really shouldnt be a problem

however, there are still people who tell children we will explain when your older, or the stork comes, or etc, etc.

be honest with kids, if not, they will find out somewhere else

Lol!

I think once I started school (grade 1), every single one of us had a different story...I think sometime in 3rd grade we all believed that a) only married women can have children and b) you get them by praying to Allah(swt) really hard.

And then came that fateful day...

I think my general facial expression after that Biology class was a cross between :0:, :shock: and :vomit:

Got back home screaming...'Maamaaaa you lied to me!!!!'

be honest with kids, if not, they will find out somewhere else yes they do hear things outside from other kids or at school etc. my son told me someone had told him there were things like balloons to stop people having babies , i said yes thats right when a mummy and a daddy dont want to have a baby right away they put a balloon under their pillow to let God know :S ( i wasnt muslim then)
