Kid quotes of the year 2021

When I was a kid my Dad had a little book and every time us kids said something funny/interesting he would write it down. Here's a few from 2 year old me:

"what's baby tom got on his bottom?!"

(Seeing a tights display in M&S) has that lady fallen through the wall?

(seeing fog for the first time) look! dark light

I now do the modern day equivalent and tweet them using #percyquotes and #ericquotes, and then at the end of the year I do a summary of my favourite ones. To be honest Percy age 3 or 4 was probably the peak. (I've not got that many this year, maybe I just haven't been good at recording them.) Percy's always been a big questioner of life, but at that age his questions were very surreal. Eric at the same age just isn't so bothered by philosophical questions, so he's not asking when we die will our house die? If we gave him an ice cream Eric just enjoys it and doesn't think about if ice creams and snow get on as friends.

Percy has a very unique mind and it was interesting to watch it develop at that age. He used to have an imaginary friend who was a carrot. The carrot was just called "carrot" but the carrots brother was called "boatius". For about a month they were friends, one time we were driving to somewhere and he asked if we could go back home because we had left carrot at home. He was freaking out and we had to make up this whole story that carrot was getting the bus and meeting us there. After a month or so of the friendship of Percy and carrot, Percy ate the carrot. 

Fast forward to now and Percy gets to put his special questioning mind to good use. Often in church they have a space for one of Percy's theological questions. For example:

"does heaven get bigger and bigger to make room for the new people dying every day?"

"did insects go on Noah's arc" 

"why is God a boy?"

"did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?"

I had similar questions, aged 5 I asked "can God count from 1 to infinity in one second?"

Here's the rest of the 2021 quotes:

Percy age 6-7

"Daddy your face looks like a world war."

"Wee and poo are married."

"how many bubbles are there in the world?"

Percy talking about the Euros "why do people put flags up in our street when the England team won't see that?"

Percy talking about dressage in the olympics "that sounds boring, I'm only watching if the horses do backflips"

Percy: I don't think those 2 ducks are married.

me: Percy animals don't get married.

Percy: how do they have babies then?!!

Percy: what's tennis?

Dan: you don't know what tennis is? (explains tennis)

Percy: Oh it sounds a bit like badminton.

(very loudly in public after riding the pirate ship ride) "that makes my willy feel funny"

Eric age 3-4

What shape have you made Eric "a Mexican...its like a hexagon crossed with a house" 

"a long long long long long long time ago......or maybe not that long ago, I wasn't alive"

one from today..."There's two things I want to do: tidy up my train track, and not tidy up my train track."

love them.

I hope 2022 will be full of lots of funny quotes due to us living as foreigners.
