my 8 yr old son phillip came in from school & had some daft qustion's like where dose your lap go when you stand up

It goes on a race track when you stand up.

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.

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

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!..

How about this one then: where does the sky go at night? Janice

A colleague is pregnant and was explaining to her 8 year old daughter that the baby is currently in water..... 8 year old replied..... why doesn't she need armbands?

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 :)

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.

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".

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

Why can't you telephone heaven on your mobile ? when there's a phone mast in the church tower question asked by a 7 year old Brenxx

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

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?"

last year when my daughter was 3 she asked me why did i wear one of those meaning my bra and not a vest like she did i told her it was my boobie warmer. She's 4 and a half now and still calls it a boobie warmer

when my eldest was about 4 he asked me mummy where does the sea go when the tide is out. did some one leave the tap on is that why we have the sea

i am pmsl!! these are so funny especially the 'can i watch' one!!! when i was alot younger, my friend was telling me all about her older sister, and what was 'happening' to her. Well i was horrified and after school i ran home and shouted, mummy guess what- lauras sister is bleeding all over, from face to feet, mum said- oh really- i said- yep, laura says shes having a pyramid! i have never ever lived that down!!lol
