Batman

Older boy got a Batman toy from Santa. He does loves superheroes but most toys are aimed at big kids but this particular range is aimed at toddlers. He was very excited and decided to ask super nerd Daddy to tell him all about it



The conversation went like this






Really...What?!?!?!?

kids Christmas party

**WARNING** this is not suitable for children


So (setting the scene), I took the boys to a kids Christmas party. The eldest child there was 6. We were playing party games before Santa came. The game I'm going to talk about is pass the parcel

As we all know, pass the parcel is an innocent game. The music plays-you pass the parcel around, when the music stops the person it lands on opens the parcel



Totally innocent until the parcel is wrapped in newspaper, well The Sun to be exact...

The music stops on Older boy. He eagerly opens the first layer, I help as he's not quite perfected his taking off one layer skills when the next layer reviles



Yes..page 3 of The Sun was the second layer of the pass the parcel wrapping.


NB. I took off another layer before letting the next child have it.

Santa

So, it's July and kids TV is being as seasonal as usual


So I get the question "Who's Santa?" We talk about it, I explain who he is and what he does. It's early but thanks to the TV we are ready and excited about Santa


Every time we see someone with a beard








Sigh. As time goes on it gets a bit more "creative"..











Then December comes, the Christmas decorations are up, when he suddenly decides...







He did go in, and tell Santa he wanted a bag for Nurse Flood (a Fireman Sam toy). And he demanded a refund when Santa gave him a book!

So, we were shopping

Daddy and Younger boy we shopping, me and Older boy were in the queue at the till. Behind us was a sweet girl, around 18 months old with her dad

Older boy says



So I agree when he then says



Again, I agree. He then says, pointing at her dad



Hoping they either haven't heard or the ground will open up, I explain that he has, he's just got clothes on so you can't see it. He then says
