I was newly pregnant with my third child and thought I would use the opportunity to give some simple sex education to my four-year-old. I did a marvellous job I thought - Mummy and Daddy lie very close together then Daddy etc etc. She looked at me gravely and said "Can I watch?"

that last one of brendas is funny, i recently commented about some silent phone calls we keep getting when hubbys in work, my son said maybe its nana, i said yeh very funny son, i got the impression he was being witty as he laughs at mine and my daughters interest in mediums, he then said mum there are no barriers between heaven and earth and the phone. i think he may be on the stage when hes older

Hi loved the daft thing's kids say, they reminded me of when my 22 year old was only 3 and his friend who was 2 years older started to tell him about the tooth fairy, so my son aske me if it was true "of course" I said, I could see him thinking then he asked "Mom if Nanny has not got any money then why doesn't she put her false teeth under the pillow, she'll get lots of money then?" I had to explane that it was only real teeth the tooth fairy paid for...... Bev

Older son, aged about 4 said "Mummy when you have a baby, do you have to take your knickers off?" Much easier to answer than "Why did those people do that to those children in russia".

We had relatives from London up this weekend, as you can imagine the booze was flowing nicely. My dad was worse for wear, he was having a conversation with my Uncle about my Nan. they were discussing the only time my Nan was ever drunk, my dad said he remembered it well - it was on V D Day...... needless to say we all fell about laughing (I dont think he even realised what he had said until we told him.

When the daughter of friends was near the end of primary school, they watched a sex education video (with parental consent). Afterwards, the mum told her that she would be happy to answer any questions. Daughter thinks for a while then says that she's only got one question ... Mum, you know the man's thing? .... yeeeeees ..... has it got a bone in it? She's now married with two small children of her own so I guess she'll know the answer! Mandy :)

Always remember, my daughter, asking me what L.B. was, as we were walking round a market!. After much thinking I realised she mean't the weight, on the price cards!. (pounds and ounces), yes, it was a long time ago!..

Has he asked any other valid "daft" questions recently?

It might sound daft to us as adults, but he's only a little boy and they do ask what we perceive to be 'daft' questions. He's obvisouly thought about it and when you think about it, it's really quite a logical question. Jo.
