There’s nothing quite like kiddie logic.
And since we started our online writing competition for kids last week, we’ve been finding out just how great it is. Turns out our smallest citizens are the funniest, quirkiest most original thinkers out there. You might have caught Colin and Jim Jim getting in on the act on 2FM last week. We asked mums and dads to text in and tell the guys the funny things their kids have said…and the response was HUGE. Here are some of the best:
'I was making a sandwich for my son I was cutting it in half he said mummy will u cut it into four pieces as I'm really starving.'
'I brought my 3 yr old nephew to mass one day and as he normally doesn’t go, I explained that we had to sit down, be quiet and listen to the man who would be talking at the table, the priest comes out, in a red robe, and it was all quiet, and Charlie shouts out excitedly,.. ’it’s Santa’. Mortified is the word.'
'My daughter Karen was driving home with her little sister Niamh. They passed a factory with a large chimney, billowing white smoke. Niamh asked Karen can we go to the place that makes the clouds? So sweet.'
'When U2 launched their last album my then six year old daughter was in town with a friend of mine. They had life size cut outs of the band and my friend took a picture of my daughter and her own with them. When my six year old came home she was buzzing and told me that she had her picture taken with U2. She said Ava stood beside Bono and she stood beside Corner (meaning Edge). He's still known as that in our house.'
'After catching a fish in the local pond and carrying it home in a plastic bag, I went to get my friends to show off my live catch only to return to a empty basin and a 3yr old sis with a towel drying the fish saying ‘he had enough swimming, it was time to get out’. Both in our 30’s now and she still gets slagged for it.'
Well done to little Katie Teggart who will be jetting off with her family to stay on a sustainable farm in Sweden for a week….all thanks to Corner…aka Edge.
