Kids say the funniest things

My little man is now 8 & 1/2, and we are going through the questioning stage.  I do remember the girls going through this phase and if I remember rightly it drove me bloody nuts, after all, they are so close in age I was probably getting asked stupid questions for about 6 years in total!

Anyway we are currently being asked everything from our favourite colour, to footballer, day of the week, flavour of ice cream etc etc

In the bath the other night he asked me some different kinds of questions.

Him: Mum, how much toilet roll do you use?

Me: We get through about 6 rolls a week, 2 in each toilet

Him: (flustrated) no, no I don’t mean that, how much toilet roll do you use when you wipe your bum?

Me: Erm, oh right, about 6 squares each time I guess

Him: I use about 4

Me: Thats because you have a smaller bum than Mummy!

Him: and how many times do you do it?

Me: Erm, until the paper is clean of course – I thought I had told you all this when you started to do it yourself

Him: Um

Now I realise that any talk of poo, wee, pants and farts seems to entertain not just boys, but men for ages and bring about hysterical laughter and endless giggling, when us ladyeee’s would rather just ignore the subject, but I think I would have been less embarrassed if he had asked me my Cup size! Mind you, knowing me, I would probably have said I prefer a Mug to a cup and saucer!
