Little things

When the boy was using me instead of my he was speaking in a cockney accent. It was like city talk in urban england teens kids and poorer class would use it did he ever use the words git, or bloody as expressions? also dillup was that the word?they put a dallup of cream on pastries in some parts of england so i guess you could relate those to doughnuts right? wirra also sounds european kind of sad too maybe ireland?

Hello there!

Wow! So it was a Cockney accent he may have been using.

My cousin was just a toddler at that time. I can't remember if he used any other words aside from "me".

Thanks for the clarification. ;)
 
Hi Jere - sorry to be a pain and widen your search again but must just say that the use of 'me' instead of 'my' isn't just a cockney thing. It's pretty much a scattered dialect thing across the whole of Britain. I was brought up in Lancashire and still say 'me' instead of 'my' sometimes. I'm going through the country's accents in my head and apart from really upper class R.P. English, most parts of the country say it.

SisterShelby - are you thinking of the word 'dollop'?

My friend's toddler knows everyone's name and knows how to pronounce them all but she will refuse to call one of my friends by her really name and calls her Danny every time. We'll say "Say hi to Gina!" and she'll say "Hi Danny!". I wonder if that's a PL name and they once knew each other before. I love the little things children come out with! :)

No need to apologise...and no, you're not being a pain. :)

I never really thought about researching my cousin's prior life, it was just something that I remembered when this subject was brought up. I do strongly feel that his sister, father and aunt did die in some sort of medieval battle and did get their legs bashed in, as was common practice during war at that time period.

Ta...
 
Something my grandson said last week.

My daughter and I were in the front seats of the car. He was in the back. He said -"How old are you grandma?" I said 46. He said. "Daaannnnngggggggggggg you're old." LOLOL

Out of curiousity my daughter said "Well how old am I?" to him.
He replied "Older than me." She said "I am 26." He said another "Dannnnngggggggggggg" I said "wait until you are 26 Lucas. Or 46. Then your mom will be 66." He replied," Well when I am 86 she will be one again."

I of course asked "what do you mean?" He said -"Mom will be back - I will be the old person and she will be the baby." Right out of the mouths of babes.
 
How cute. :) I wonder if your daughter really will be one when he's 86 and if they'll be in the same family then too?
 
One of my cousins , when she was very young would always say things of living in a past life, just hinting around a lot, but a distinct time when I remember her acting strangely was when my grandmother and I were sitting down in the kitchen and watching the tv in the living room from where we were sitting in the kitchen.

I was babysitting my cousin at the time and so I brought her over. All of a sudden my baby cousin got up off from the ground and started pointing up, she couldn't talk very well so she ran over to us still with her arm extended upwards and her finger pointing to the ceiling, she ran up to us and was making noises like uh! uh! uh! (very short uhs with her mouth gaping open) she had a very concerned look on her face and she seemed to be trying to tell us both something very important.

I said " what is it, what is it?" and I walked over to the spot she was sitting at in front of the tv and looked up and there was nothing and so I was looking around for her and she said Kt! (my name that she could say very well )and I looked at her and she still had her hand pointing up , at that time my grandma and I were frustrated, and so I knelt down and I said ,Meg, what is wrong? and she said "He left" I was confused I said " who, who left?" and she said "You Know Him!" and stomped her foot and got upset. My grandma said Meg really hunny what is wrong" Megan said with a sigh "Nevewmind,he's bettew now,but.....he left" (w's for baby talk,soft r's) My grandma and I took this as utter nonsense and ignored it because we could not understand and she wouldn't tell us or pay attention to us after she said those things for she was too wrapped up in watching tv.

Later that night , my grandma called my house and asked for me. It seemed unusual for her to be calling after 9. She went on to tell me that her neighbor that we have known for ever and I had grown up with had been strangled to death with ropes when sky diving out of an airplane. He was in his 20's and my god that was so young. The ultimate shock of this news took my mind off from everything and that was the only thing I could think of was how sad I was. It was days later when my grandma had reminded me that day of my cousins frustrated comments of a man whom we knew that left and was better but he left.... How my 2 year old cousin could have known this at the moment that she did completely blows my mind. Her mom has always told me that shes an old soul... but now I truly believe she has more knowledge of the non living world than anyone I know...
 
It's amazing how intuitive children are. They pick up on so many things that adults miss. :) It must have been quite a topic of conversation afterwards for your family. :)
 
When my oldest neice was 3 and just barely learning to talk....she asked me if she was going to die in a car accident, then she asked me if my sister was going to die in an accident, then asked if I was. The look on her face told me that she was really terrified that this was going to happen again.

I've always wondered if I was involved in an accident with her in a past life...because I used to always "pretend" that I was in one and would imagine being saved by a hero. I also wrote a poem when I was 12 about a car accident...she was born about a year later after I wrote that poem.

This probably also explains why I don't care to drive very much, especially in the rain at night

My other neice just turned 5 a few weeks ago, although she acts like she's 20 - she always uses manners, and is very witty. She says things that you would never expect a 5 year old to say! I've always wondered who she was in her previous lives, hopefully i'll be able to find out someday....:)
 
Any new members have examples of the little things children say or do? This is an interesting thread I think. Lots of examples. :)
 
HI Vicky.

Lucas is six. My oldest grandson Christian will be nine next month. :D
 
I don't know if this counts but recently my youngest drew a perfect star of David in a circle on the back of her hand. I didn't notice it until my eldest pointed it out. I asked why she'd done it and if she had been having religeous lessons at school but she said no and couldn't answer why she'd drawn it.
I have listened to things my children say since becoming invloved in PL things but sadly that so far is the only possible clue.
Hammy.
 
My son started doing this odd thing a few weeks ago... :rolleyes:
He likes to hold his shorts up, like he is holding a skirt, and walk on the tip of his toes. It looks like he is wearing a long skirt and high hill shoes! :D
I think it started when this girl that i watch at my house brought her "dancing Elmo" with her one day.
After my son saw Elmo dancing he started holding his shorts up and doing this odd dance on the tip of his toes!
It is quite funny watching a 20 month old boy acting like that! :laugh:
 
on the dinner, supper, lunch note thing. I live in central Arkansas, and we've always said breakfast, lunch, dinner in my family.....but some elderly people still say breakfast, dinner, supper. (my grandparents on my dad's side do)

And for kids saying weird things.....well....I'm only 14, so I don't have any kids. XDD Althought I have had a couple dreams of a future kid. Same kid evertime. Makes one wonder....and my mom had one dream with him. I didn't get a name in the dream though....oh well.
 
I am 13 and i have had a couple of dreams of a future kid... a little blonde girl, (in my dreams she is usually around 2 years old) and although I've never heard her name in a dream, I have already decided to name her Jessamay. And I have also had visions of all my kids, there are five of them, and I know all of their names. Jessamay is the oldest, the next oldest is six years younger. I can picture them all so clearly, it's like I know them personally :rolleyes:
 
Xd

To Rosie Rose,

wow. Another person with a similar experience as me. I'll describe my dream to you guys, because I remember it so vividly. Its like it was real, and I was really there. First of all, In my dreams, I only have one kid. which sucks, because I really want two. :( I'm an only child myself, and I know how boring your life is if one is an only child...thats why i'm going to have two kids.

Anyway, here is my story:

I had a dream that I was grocery shopping, and standing on the end of my grocery cart was my son. He looked to be about 4 or 5 in the dream. I didn't get his name, I just remember he had brown eyes, golden blonde hair (not that white blonde), and he had it cut in a fashion I can't describe, because I don't know its name...and he was fussing because I wasn't getting the cereal he wanted for breakfast.
 
I have 2 stories that tie in with this thread. One is my little half brother, he is 7 - he constantly calls me "mommy" or "mama" - everytime he sees me. I babysit him once a week (we don't live together) and everytime he runs to me, gives me a huge hug and says "Mommy!!!!!!". I think it's cute, but I tell him repeatedly that I'm his sister, not his mother, but he just laughs and ignores what I say. One time he told me "I love you whoever you are" (awww). Just yesterday he said to me "I wish you were my mom. I mean, I like my mom, but it would be so much better if you were my mom" (his mom is my stepmom by the way). He is completely obsessed with this wish that I was his mother.
Another story is that a close friend of my family's died in August suddenly, and left behind a 4 year old daughter and a 2 year old son. I was watching the 2 year old last week and we were sitting on the couch reading a book and suddenly he points across the room (to a bare wall with nothing interesting in sight) and starts smiling and laughing, looking so happy. I asked him "what's so funny?" and he just kept pointing and so I said "do you see something?" and he goes "don't you see?". Then he just went back to his book. I really believe his mother's soul was visiting him, and that makes me so happy because I loved her very much and her death was devastating for me, and everyone who knew her.
Another thing I should add is I had a dream a few years ago, it happened only once but the image is still clear in my mind, of a little girl who looked about 2, with light brown/auburn hair, I could see her from the side, she was sitting on the carpet and smiling. And I knew that was my daughter and her name was Hannah Kirsten - very weird because I don't particulary want to name any of my future kids that. It's a cute name, but not my favorite and it was just very random. But I'm not sure if that was a past life memory or a future event.
 
Childhood memory

When I was very young (too young to remember) and had only just started talking, my family tell me that whenever they spoke of an event that had taken place before I was born, I would ask "Is that when I was with Kingsey?". Kingsey was not a name (or even word) that any of my family had ever heard of, but for years my 'imaginary friend' was always called Kingsey and when I was slightly older I became convinced that he was my twin (although this could easily have been something I created as I got a bit older). As far as I know this was the only indication I ever gave of a previous life - but as a child I was a firm believer in reincarnation (something I haven't thought about for years - until today)
 
Welcome to the forum, Kimothy.

That's really interesting. I wonder who Kingsey was. Perhaps he was a twin in a past life.
 
For the last few weeks my son started putting a little bucket on his head everytime he gets on his tricycle or goes inside one of his cars...
I believe he truly thinks he is wearing a helmet! :D
He watches some cartoons in the mornings but i haven't seen any of the characters using helmets yet.
It makes me wonder... :rolleyes:
 
One time, I was at a restaurant when a family with a little girl passed us. (I'm guessing she was six, seven.)


The girl looked at me, and I smiled. She got a very surprised look on her face, and then a look of pure joy.


Ten minutes later, she ran to my table, and gave me a picture she'd drawn. She then ran off, and I never spoke to her again.


I still sometimes wonder what that was all about... :confused: I know kids are outgoing, but this was exceptionally so.

Well, what was on the drawing then? Maybe that could give you a clue?

You know, I really can't remember. This was about ten years ago. I think maybe a drawing of a person, maybe two people, but I don't know. I wish I still had it. :(
