Looking unenthusiastically out the window at the pouring rain and not looking forward to getting soaked going to the bus stop, I sighed and said to Sam (5):
"Oh no, it’s raining heavily this morning Sam, that’s not very nice is it? Do you like rain?"
"Yes, I do", said Sam.
"Oh, why do you like the rain?"
"If we didn’t have rain, how would our plants grow? We’d have no water to drink either."

Watching the news from Rome last night and seeing the new pope being announced, Sam (almost 5) was a bit confused about Pope Francesco’s name.
He looked puzzled and said "Pope from Tesco?"

As part of Sam’s (4) homework this week, he had some words to put into sentences.
One of the words was – what.
"Sam, can you put the word ‘What’ into a sentence?"
Sam thinks for a little while and then replies
"Don’t say what, say pardon."
What a mannerly little boy

“Close the door after you, Sam”

"Granny can’t eat any chocolates"
"Oh. Why is that Sam?"
"She has diarrhoea."
Sam (4) meant "diabetes" – but we have no idea where he heard about diarrhoea!

Sam (4) : "Mummy, why do Bill and Ben wear flower pots?"
Me : "Because they are flower pot men"
Sam : "Mummy, they’re not flower pot men, they’re flower pot PERSONS"

Meant to post this last week.
Sam (4 today!) and I spent a few days holiday with my parents in Wicklow just after easter.
Sam was set up nice and comfy on a blow up mattress, and I was on a mattress on the floor in the one spare room available.
Around 2.30am I became aware of Sam twisting and turning quite a bit in his sleep. Didn’t real think anything of it until he said
"This bed isn’t comfortable."
I got up to investigate. The blow up mattress had deflated quite a bit and there was Sam underneath the mattress with his big sleepy head.
How he managed to maneuver himself to the position he was in I don’t know. Very funny thought
