Mum, where do babies come from?

A colleague of mine was teaching one of my students when he was in pre-school. My colleague was showing the children a picture of a cow, when my student raised his hand. Pointing to the cow's udder, he asked, 'What's that?' My colleague replied, 'That is the cow's udder.' 'Oh,' said my student, 'my dad has one of those...except he only has one, and it's bigger!'

My daughter had just learned to talk at age two, and learned the different names of different animals. One day her dad was about to have a wee and was stood by the loo. Before he undid his zip to pee, she started shouting 'NEEK NEEK'. We didn't have a clue what she was on about, so she took her dummy out and said 'SNAKE SNAKE' very innocently. Her dad has been proud of his snake ever since!

My son (age ten) said to me one day that he couldn't go to school. I asked him why, and he told me it was because he'd started his period! I found out that he'd heard some of the girls in his class talk about periods and he didn't know what they meant!

Wrong time, wrong place

My daughter-in-law was in B&Q a few weeks ago, when my little granddaughter piped up, 'Mummy, I want toilets.' Mum, busy pushing her younger daughter in a buggy, while keeping an eye on her elder son, says, 'Well, I asked you before we came out of the house if you wanted to go, sorry but you'll have to wait.' They amble along for several minutes, when suddenly mum realises she-who-wanted-toilets is missing. At that moment there is an announcement over the tannoy 'Will the mother of ... please come to the...' So my daughter-in-law hurries over to the bathroom displays where she is confronted by some pretty irate staff. DD (Dear Daughter) is standing there, in total utter blue-eyed innocence, after having found her way over to one of the immaculate posh toilets on display, struggled out of her trousers and nics, hoisted herself on it, grimaced and strained...and poohed.
