Couple of funny Alice stories

Yesterday when I got home from Northern Ireland I was showing Alice a photo of me when I was about 5. I asked her who it was and she kept saying she didn't know. So we asked was it Daddy, no. Was it Mummy, yes. So later on we were in the chippy having Bank Holiday fish and chips (Alice's first chippy chips!!). Stuart showed her the back of a £20 note and asked her who the picture was of. "Mummy". Everyone in the chippy just burst out laughing!!!

Some of you will know that Stuart's dad (Ian) was stuck in New Orleans during the ash cloud crisis. We kept telling Alice that Grandpa was stuck in New Orleans, America because the planes weren't allowed to fly. Last night as she was going to bed I asked her who she wanted to pray for. She said Nana, Grandpa and Nanny. I was about to pray and she started praying instead. She said "thank you God for Grandpa being home from New Lions". "Thank you God for the lions". I had to try very hard not to laugh. So cute.

Wouldn't it be great if it were your picture on the back of the £20 note!!!! (Or maybe not, only the queen and dead people get unto notes!)

Glad you've written those stories down they are priceless!

Stuart and Pauline said...

Laura, I posted on your wall about it.

Rhoda, I was telling Stuart what Alice had prayed and he said that although I put these wee sayings on FB, I should post them on here because they get backed up on the computer and we have a record of them then. He was right!!! For once!!

Brilliant! I love kids and the things they say, unless of course its the changing room at the swimming pool, right Pauline!!

Stuart and Pauline said...

Got it in one Lisa!!!! I found it funny, not so sure Stuart felt the same though.

Soo funny Pauline! Leia has learnt how to say grace in nursery. As soon as she gets into the Tesco trolly and sees all the food she closes her eyes and YELLS at the top of her voice “Dear Lord Jesus, thanks you for all this food, A May” (Won’t say Amen!) Usually find a few people buckled over in two into a crate of spuds! Bless her! Ruth x
