Excuse of the day!

[Mouse]

Child A took a toy off child B.

I asked if he could give it back as B was playing with it.

He said "I can't. I've got a bone in my leg!"

I haven't heard that for years and it sounded so funny coming from a 3 year old who was so serious about it

[*daisychain*]

This made me laugh :-) that was my dads response for everything when I was growing up !

[HTSMumma]

Lol!!
My younger sister and I still use this excuse with our kids!

Thought my generation was the last to use that one: lovely to see it's still in circulation.

It ranks alongside the answer to the eternal string of "why?" "why?" "why?"................

...........cos Y's not Z, and that's final.

[teacake2]

We also say Y is a crooked letter and Z is no better.

[Kiddleywinks]

Because y's a crooked letter and you can't straighten it :-/

"I can't. I've got a bone in my leg!"

I have never heard this before, what's it all about??

I have never heard this before, what's it all about??

me neither it sounds a reall odd saying

[Ripeberry]

Never heard those sayings. My Nan used to say 'Cut it out!' a lot.

[bunyip]

My teacher used to say "because of the dogs".

We never understood it, but then we never understood his lessons either.
