Honesty!!

What is it about young children that they feel they need to be brutally honest about absolutely everything? I was taking my 2 year old (who will be 3 in october) to my mums yesterday and there was a man walking across the road from us. She then said in a very loud voice "Mummy that man over there in the blue top has a very big red nose he looks really funny" OMG i wanted the ground to swallow me up, i didnt dare look but she just kept repeating herself. I think im gonna have to stop going out through fear of someone taking it the wrong way and beating me up!!!

  • lol, thats funny my 3yo is the same he says hello to everyone, and asks where they are going and what they are doing etc, he shouted at a man once 'hey cowboy man' he was a middle aged man but had boots and leather jacket and a cowboy type hat, thankfully he has just about got over calling everyone dad!!!
  • hi. we have got a postman in our town that is on the larger side. and my 5 year old laughed and pointed at him one day and shouted out as loud as he could "oohh mummy look at that fat man over there" sooo embarrassing. i wanted the ground to open up and swallow me.xx
