Yesterday I tweeted out something Bonus Boy said which had made the whole family fall about laughing and prompted quite a response from my Twitter friends. His wonderful, philosophical, child’s eye view of life is a precious thing and every week he comes out with some absolute corkers. All my children have and many, many of them have disappeared in the mists of time. One or two have stayed as family sayings and words but I regret enormously not keeping a consistent record of the funnies and the wise words.
So, I’m going to do it here and I’m hoping a few of you would like to join me. I am going to consciously listen out for the week’s best BBism and I’m going to make a note of it so I can blog it on a Friday and have a running record of them. If you’d like to do this too I am going to be running a linky so you can add your posts every week (or whenever you remember!)
Here’s mine for this week:
Bonus Boy to his teenage brother who was being particularly annoying ‘Stop it T, you’re tickling my mind’
I love this on so many levels, it’s funny, it’s descriptive, it’s clever and it is absolutely spot on!
To join in, write a mini blog post recording a funny/clever/eye opening sentence, word or sound that your child has made and you want to keep a record of. Come back here and pop your blog link on the linky widgit below this blurb. Please link back to me in your post and go and visit other people’s posts for a giggle/sob/eureka moment. Most of all, use it as a weekly prompt to remind you to keep a record of these precious moments before they slip out of your mind and drift off forever.

Your children are so gorgeous! My Mum said something similar to this recently and started a Facebook page for us to share ours x
What a good idea, fabulous family record.
Love this – definitely going to try to join in.
Thanks you’ve just reminded me of something I needed to write down.
Lovely story it reminds me of an author friend of mine who describes the way dogs hang around the kitchen when cooking as nose music .
Oh I love that! Brilliant! It absolutely is!
Hooray! Thanks Kate. x
I have been looking over my blog this week as it’s now 3 years old.I miss writing all the things my kids do and I decided to write a weekly round up post like I used when I first started blogging, only better.The kids say some brilliant stuff and sometimes it’s just a drawn picture or a little achievement that I would like to record.
It’s fabulous to have somewhere to record it all isn’t it? I wish I’d had this when my older ones were small.
cracking! x
Awww..lovely. I’m sure I have some thing suitable to link up! I try to record the funny things mine say too. xx
Hooray! I’m looking forward to reading them! x
This is a great idea and has encouraged me to start recording some of the things that Piran says. His speech has come on leaps and bounds in the last two weeks and he is like a little parrot all of a sudden. Perfect timing for your linky.
I am delighted Kelly! I think the linky will be a slow burner, I’m hoping it sticks in the back of people’s heads and reminds them to record the things their children say! I’ve already got three possibles for this week written in a notebook…which means I have written them down!
