I am well aware that this particular post is straying into 'kids [well, my kids] say the funniest things' territory. I will try to steer clear of that, generally. But do other Dads / parents out there find that their children are at their funniest and most creative at six in the morning?
I have not had to set an alarm clock for many a year, because my youngest will invariably pop in at around 6 and launch straight into some bizarre question as I groggily rouse myself from my slumber. Here's a selection of my 'six-year-old alarm clock' quotes:
'One question what's really important: can hedgehogs and foxes go in the sea?'
‘Daddy, I want to make a metal detector’. ‘Ok, how do you make one of them?’ Indignantly: ‘I don’t know, don’t ask me!’
'Dad, did you know that in the Stone Age the first word was "Ug", and then "Hunga Bunga"?
'If cockroaches can survive a nuclear bomb, how do they fight?'
'Can an alien put his feet in cold water for 100 seconds?'
'Dad, did you know that in the Stone Age the first word was "Ug", and then "Hunga Bunga"?
'If cockroaches can survive a nuclear bomb, how do they fight?'
'Can an alien put his feet in cold water for 100 seconds?'
'Will there ever be a tsunami?'
'Why do countries fight?
‘Dad, when I grow up I want to be in a band called Robin Rovallo and the Flying Pigs.'
‘Dad, when I grow up I want to be in a band called Robin Rovallo and the Flying Pigs.'
Is this a common experience?
