Grandkids say the darndest things…

Last week we asked “What funny things have your grandkids said?” and had an overwhelming response. Turns out your grandkids are all early stage comedians by the sounds of it! Ah, from the mouths of babes.

We’ve compiled the funniest comments but feel free to add your own below!

Vicki Smith: My four year old granddaughter came out naked the other night, except for a pair of thongs. Her dad asked why she was wearing them and she replied that she was cold.

Jan Turnbull: “I don’t really have to stay with you Gran, Mum and Dad just want to do that sex thing” (little miss 4 at the time)

Elaine Henderson: When I objected to my 4 year-old grandson that I wasn’t old (as he said), he just looked at me with scorn and said, “Take a look at yourself Nana!” Ah the young!

Shirley Nevin: My 9 year-old granddaughter said, “Nan you have got to stop putting that white and grey stuff in your hair. It makes you look old”

Maree Munro: After finishing basketball one morning, I was walking to car when my 10 year-old granddaughter said to me, “my leg is sore I think I pulled my g-string”. She meant hamstring.

John Jarvis: My grandson was told if he bit his nails he’d get fat, so when he met his pregnant aunty he said, “I know what you’ve been doing!”

Irene Edwards: My then 4 year-old grandson came racing into the house, yelling “Look out of the way nana, gotta get to the loo, my poo’s nose is sticking out!”

Margaret Vecchio: My 3 year-old granddaughter innocently asked me why my arms fell down. I said I didn’t know what she meant. After pleading several more times to know, she pointed to my “batwings”. I couldn’t stop laughing..

Jan Hall: My granddaughter told me her favourite movie was “Parrots of the Carrots ‘n’ Beans” when she was 4. It was Pirates of the Caribbean she meant!

Mary Phil O Dwyer: When I was putting on some moisturising cream one day my grandson asked what was it for. I told him, “To keep the wrinkles away”. He looked and said, “Nanna, it’s not working”

Margaret Dargie: “What are you knitting Nanna?” “A vest for granddad” “What’s a vest?” “A jumper with no sleeves” “Doesn’t granddad have arms?”

Dianne Diannem: My granddaughter said to me, “You are really, really, really, really, really, really old aren’t you Nanny?” Just a few too many really’s for my liking!

Jenny Franks: My granddaughter was running and holding her hair, when asked why she was doing it she said, “Run quickly mummy it’s windy and I don’t want all my hair to blow away and be bald like daddy!”

Dot Peniroglou: My granddaughter was playing with my locket and asked if she could have it! I said when I die and she said “Well, die then”. She was only 2 and didn’t understand so I had it packed up and gave it to her on her 10th birthday!

Vicki Smith: After not seeing my granddaughter for some months we picked her up from childcare where she was playing in the sandpit, I thought how beautiful and sweet she was. Her opening comment to me was, “I’ve got sand in me crack”

Margaret Carney: After viewing the 12 week scan I asked my grandson if he knew if the baby was a boy or girl – “Oh no Gram, we are having a skeleton!”

Carol Bielak: 5 year-old grandson was looking at numbers 1-100, pointed to 66 and smiling said “Look Nanny, same as you”. Then pointed to 100 and said “you might get to be 100”. I smiled and said “maybe”. Then he burst into tears and said “and then you’ll die”. He’s such a joy.

Janette Eyles: Showing my 10 year-old grandson a beautiful mohair rug I lugged back in my case from Ireland on my recent trip. Telling him how I bought it there and how special it was – “It’s great Nan, but you could have bought it on eBay”

Leah Ball: I told mine to have a shower and wash his hair. He came out crying and saying he could not wash his hair as the shampoo said for dry hair and his was already wet!
