The End of the World is Nigh - What Fred Said

Mishearing grown-up conversations can definitely have its consequences.

This morning Freddy nervously asked me what was going to happen after the Zombie Apocalypse on Friday morning.  I had to explain that there was going to be an ECLIPSE not an APOCALYPSE!!  I think he was actually a little disappointed.

Unless of course he knows something we don't!

The Zombies are Coming

What Fred Said...about Dora, Dandelions and My Singing.

Freddy had worked out exactly why he was feeling tired:

I ate my Aero and it turned into lots of energy, but now my energy is used up and it has all turned into poo.

***

Freddy had a yogurt then put the spoon he had used back in the cutlery drawer.

It's OK, I licked it clean first!

***

He put his Nana into her place this week, with regards to her botanical knowledge:

Freddy: Look it's a dandelion. (He proceeded to pick the dandelion clock and blow it.)
Nana: Oh Freddy, look at all those fairies.
Freddy: They're not fairies Nana, they're dandelion seeds.

***

I think the appeal of Dora the Explorer has worn thin.  Whilst watching an episode where Dora was searching for the princess's castle Freddy could keep it in no more:

What's the matter with you Dora?  Are you blind?  Are you blind Dora? It's right there!

(To be fair, I think we all feel that way about Dora too!)

***

Whilst listening to "Wearing my Rolex" in the car (yes I listen to Wiley on the schoolrun!) Freddy deduced:

The boy just talks his words and the girl sings oddly.  Actually all girls sing oddly.  *brief pause* Except for Ella she sings good.
Me: What about me Freddy, do I sing 'good'?
No. You sing oddly.  Especially when you sing Frozen. You do that in a very wrong voice.

Smurftastic Things that Kids Say

To celebrate the release of Smurfs 2, children have been asked some smurftastic questions about being naughty and nice with some interesting results!  Take a look at the video below to hear their responses.


         


I asked Freddy and Kizzy what they thought and here is what they said.  Apparently the naughtiest person Freddy knows is the angel that lives on my head.  There is a logical explanation to this answer as I did indeed have a small toy Zelf on my head (as you do) so Freddy could see it whilst looking at the camera as he isn't too keen on being filmed.  That boy really does make me laugh!  But he is very, very nice!!

Smurfs 2 is out to buy now on DVD and Blu-ray.  You can see our review here.

What Fred Said About Pins and Needles and Tablets

Like most of us, Freddy is succumbing to the winter germs and has come down with a bit of a cold.  He has a good way of explaining his symptoms!

Freddy: I have a sniffy nose and a sniffy mouth.
Me: What's a sniffy mouth?
Freddy: It's when your lips go all dry and lumpy and you have to lick them.

***

He had a conversation with his dad at bedtime:

Freddy: I don't understand about these peas and needles.
Ian: I think you mean pins and needles.
Freddy (slightly agitated) : But what about the peas?

***

Freddy got a bit peckish at suppertime:

"Mum, can I have tasty treat in bed?"  He thought really hard before adding with growing enthusiasm: "Like tomato soup, or porridge or a banana!!"  (How nice to hear that the things he considers as 'treats' are all so healthy!)

***

This morning I woke up with a rotten headache and said that I needed a tablet before I could get out of bed. Freddy ran off and some moments later returned with his Innotab.  "You can have my tablet mummy!"

***

Freddy was making up songs and singing them to us.  My favourite lyric was most definitely:

"Everybody says the X Ray shows your bones at the doctors!"

***

Freddy is enjoying his new friendships at school and one very, lovely little lady in Reception has decided that she wants to marry him.  I was talking to Freddy about how cute that was when he suddenly gasped and said:

"Oh no, I've just remembered that I was going to get married to Snow White instead!"

He also has forged a really close friendship with a really sweet little lad in his class and I was delighted to hear Freddy tell me that he had told him he was his "number one mate!"   

I couldn't be happier with my decision to send him to the little rural school and not the big school in town. He is doing so well, bless him.
