Party decisions!

It's my eldest daughter's fourth birthday soon and we have been pondering the guest list recently. A couple of days ago I suggested a boy she goes to preschool with her response was.

'Mmm yes, he's always got some snot'

That made me chuckle and then today when I was writing the final list I asked about him again and she said.....

'Oh, hang on! Errr will there be tissues at my party? If there are then I'll have him'

Possibly the funniest thing she has ever said to me!

I like your daughter!

Hehe. It's funny she should notice really because neither of them are girly girls thankfully. They are usually covered in mud and general grubbage....and yesterday they were having a farting completion the bath! That ended abruptly though when Merryn learnt that appearances can be deceptive!

He would be off the list sorry. I don't do snot makes my stomach churn to see babies and young children with it.
Farting in the bath is fine.

Hehe. I think it's a preschool issue...I've never noticed snot when he's with his mum....however mine fart all the time...with great gusto!

My understudy (when in her teens) went on a Dartmoor camp with the school doing the Ten Tors stuff. When she got back she proudly reported that she won the 'farting competition' beating all the boys. I was mortified!

As for green snotty noses. I will never forget one of the questions on one of the training courses for care of the under 5s was what would your reaction be if a child with a really thick snotty nose ran full pelt towards you for a cuddle? Smartly sidestep? My humourous answers never did go down well on those training courses!

Like when I said 'now these days we aren't allowed to bang their heads together are we?' in answer to how I would handle TWO behavioural special needs kids if they started fighting. I still laugh thinking about their faces when I said that!

That brings back memories some extremely embarrassing comments made at my daughter's 4th birthday party. We were then living in an 8th floor flat and a young neighbour had come in to help.

- When is the entertainer going to arrive?

- Where is the upstairs?

- Why is A's daddy not here? [I had been divorced for nearly two years]

and the worst of all, one precocious child pointing at my neighbour saying:

- Is that the au pair?

Out of the mouth of babes So funny - especially the "I'll have him"

Yeah! That was the bit that made me really WARM to this young lady lol!

Mine would win too...particularly the twos year old!

Haha,charming!

she also want Tonks and Remus to go to the party too. We'll cross that bridge later!
