Kids Talk

Daniel (singing): Scoop of the red eye… – Singing along to Sade’s Smooth Operator. Daniel comes up with some wonderful lady mondegreens.

Daniel, in his sleep: Aaaarrrggghhh, dishwasher waiting room…

Laura: Dad, I wish I had a broken arm. Can you break my arm?

Laura: Mum! Mum! I brushed my teeth without looking into the mirror and talking to myself!

Laura: Mummy, I wish I had a broken foot. Deb: Why do you wish you had a broken foot, sweetie? Laura: I dunno. … Laura: Actually, I wish I had two broken feet and a broken arm.

Laura: Daniel asked the eight-ball if he should marry it and it said “Yes”, but that doesn’t make sense. You can’t marry an eight-ball because an eight-ball doesn’t have lips.

Daniel: What do you like best, Laura? Lego or TV? Laura: Lego! Daniel: Yeah, Aditya would say TV and Timothy would say TV, but I think Lego’s better too.

Laura is sitting on Deb’s lap, stroking her face… Laura: Mummy, you smell like an elephant.

Daniel: The Normans were very fierce fighters. They were very tough. Laura: Do you mean the Harvey Normans?

5am. Laura: Mum… Deb goes in to Laura. Deb: What is it? Laura: I feel very strange in bed. A few minutes later, Martin goes in to see what’s up. Laura: Dad, you scared me when you came over. I thought you were a dinosaur or something.
