WHAT FUNNY THINGS HAVE YOUR MM AND KIDS SAID LATELY?

ON YOUR MARKS

My grandchildren Jasmine, seven, and Kyle, six, were discussing how their horses went in the Melbourne Cup. Jasmine said, ‘My mummy won’. Kyle looked at her and said: ‘I didn’t know your mum could ride a horse?’ SHIRLEY BLACKIE, RAYMOND TERRACE, NSW.

TIME LIMIT

My seven-year-old grandson, Sebastian, sat with me after his mother had fixed my computer – once again. He said: ‘Nan, you know I am going to be a computer genius when I get older?’ I said that will be great and he could fix my computer when I break it. His response was: ‘Nan, I will always fix your computer – until you are dead of course.’ MARIE SIEGMUND, CHIFLEY, ACT.

CROSSED LINES

I rang my son, who lives in Brisbane, only to have Miss Nearly Three answer her father’s mobile. ‘Hello Grandma,’ she said, ‘where’s Charlie?’ – Charlie being her older brother. ‘Love, I don’t know,’ I answered. ‘Where’s your Daddy?’ ‘Upstairs’ came the reply. I then asked her, ‘Amelia where are you?’ ‘GRANDMA, I AM HERE!’ she said in a loud voice. I couldn’t help but laugh! ANNE BARNETT, NAMBOUR, QLD.

EYE CONTACT

Taking Master Five to the movies for the first time, I told him to sit properly, be quiet, just watch and nothing else. With a puzzled look in his face, he asked, ‘But can I blink?’ ZANDER GREEN, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ.
