Out of the Mouth of Babes #6

 James

In a previous Out of the Mouth of Babes I was well and truly told by my youngest to ‘Google it’ I thought that this was bad enough; I mean seriously I was shocked to be told to do that by, at the time, a 3 year old. This boy has attitude!

Well that was until last week.

It was James’ birthday last week and although we spent a lovely day at the park Mother Nature decided to suddenly trick us and a sunny day quickly turned to heavy rain, wind and thick hail.

What could we, my friend and her nephew, do to remedy this?

Well we thought that the best thing was a milkshake in the café.

Obviously being his birthday there was one main goal for him; to get his birthday cake!

Of course this was the case, how many 4 year old boys focus on anything else?!

All the way through the day every other word that came out of his mouth was “Birthday Cake”.

So there we are back in the café enjoying our Milkshakes when just like the rest of the day James was, of course, discussing birthday cake. He had mentioned it at least 4 times within a space of a minute.

My Friend: “James do you think that you could say Birthday cake anymore times?”

(James at this point rolled his eyes, did a deep sigh and placed his hands out in an open book position)

James: “I could write you a book?!”

O.K. he hasn’t long turned 4, especially considering that it was his birthday but still my friend got told! Let’s just remember here that he is only young and not a teenager; I might hibernate through those years!

William

William has always surprised me with his intelligence when it comes to humour. There are times when he is extremely quick witted, as you may have noticed from a previous post when he joked about the Fab bin.

(I will point out though that he also has a humour that you would expect from a 6 year old boy, something that I will be covering in a different post)

On picking the boys up this week we had the normal fussing on getting into the car. This usually happens and it is normally surrounded by some ‘toy’ related problem. “Mummy can you get this toy” etc.

This week was no different. All seemed to be going well when the boys Mum said:

“I really don’t know why James has a toy crab and a pair of handcuffs but apparently the crab is under arrest”

At this point you see the smirk on Williams face and he raises his hand.

William: “It’s because he was giving it all that!” (Then comes the pincer/hand movement)

Genius, it had me giggling away for a while.





P.s. For anyone wondering, yes James did get his cake!
