The workings of a child’s mind ...

As all parents probably know already, kids listen to everything, store it and throw it back at you when you least expect it. It tends to happen at just the wrong time, so as to cause people to look at the parent and ask themselves “what are you teaching that child?” .Well just recently Chris has come out with a cracker. Vicky and I think we have identified the various information/misinformation that has contributed to his humorous comments.
· Discussion on whether the baby will be born on time or late...
· The euphemistic phrases
o “she’s got a bun in the oven”
o “Not quite cooked” (relating to a friend’s baby that was born very premature)
The setup.... Christopher is asked do you think the new baby will have dark skin like your mum or white like your dad?
The response.... (Which was delivered in a superior tone suggestion that the question was fairly stupid) went like this....
“That depends on when it’s born!” when asked why the response came “If the baby is in mummy’s tummy for too long it will get burnt like in oven! The longer we leave it in the more brown it will be”
Not a bad piece of logic I think, and probably too early to go into genetics etc...
