FUNNY MUMMY MOMENTS
Kids are creative – I love that about them! My kids have a habit of mashing up words to come up with new ones, or explaining things in their own innocent unabridged way. Here are a few examples of how they describe things they are experiencing in life… I share these as I find them innocently entertaining, and each of them bought a smile to my day.

| Water helicopters flying around helping to put out fires I guess if you put hearing and heard together, you get hearding… | “There it is! I was hearding it!” | 5 |
| Tyes favourite food (ravioli carbonara) | Plasta! | 3-5 |
| Mr T: “You guys don’t care about nature anymore!” Parents: “What do you mean?” | Mr T: “You eat animals!” | 5 |
| Observing the neighbours dog Opal malting | “Mum! Why is Opal falling apart?” | 5 |
| Big W, looking for school equipment and stationery, preparing for COVID-19 lock down Extract… pretty close to distract. At least I think that’s what he meant. | “Oh Mum! Let’s get this (outdoor musical mat)! This will extract us!” |
