It all started this week with my daughter Joan saying to me, 'Mammy I'm not being mean but I have to tell you, you are shrinking with old age.'
Joan has also told me that the one damn grey hair growing out of my head means I am a granny and that I have a jiggly bum.
Kids are the best aren’t they? No filters, tell it like it is with absolutely no regard for your feelings upon hearing their nuggets of honesty.
I knew though, in my hearts of hearts, that I was far from alone on this front and put it out on Twitter during the week asking what are some of the worst things your kids have said to you and this is what people shared!
6 year old to my father: “I feel bad leaving you to be lonely what with granny being dead.....but me and daddy are going swimmin..BYYYYEEEE” - Eric, Galway
4 year old once said "Daddy you're going to die! Hahahaha!" - Lenny (Al Porter Show)
Ha, my 3 year old asked me why I was still in my pyjamas... I was not, fully dressed.. and nicely I thought 😠- Claire, Kildare
"Mammy I can't wait til you die so I can own the house!" - Nessa, Dublin
"Daddy most of the time I love mummy more than you" - Eamon, Kerry
My 4 year about my 2 year old “Daddy when are we returning him, he smells sometimes.” Damien, Galway
And my favourite
My 3 year old just announced at the dinner table "Mummy sometimes your hair looks like poo" - Siobhan, Carlow
So although they are super cute and we love them to death, kids really do say the worst sh*t!
