My son likes to come out with some pretty random statements.
“I like Sauce Pie Mummy,” he announced while I was hanging washing on the line.
“Mmmmm pie. Do you like it covered in tomato sauce like your Dad?” I enquired.
"Whatchoo talking about Willis?"
“Huh? No, I like SAUCE PIE!” he shouted at me
“Oh do you mean one that has sauce in it?”
“NO MUMMY, I LIKE SAUCE PIE,” he screamed at me, stamping his foot in exasperation at the stupidity of the Mummy species.
As I fished around in my useless memory for anything pie-related that might explain what he was on about, he burst into tears before shouting “SAUCE PIE” at me again.
While I cuddled him and made soothing noises, he looked up at me with big sad eyes and whispered, “I just like sauce pie.” Then he pressed the button on his toy motorbike to make it rev.
A bolt of inspiration hit me and I said what I thought it could be.
His face lit up and he positively beamed as he said “Yes Mummy, Sauce Pie.”
And all was right in the World again.
And now in the spirit of furthering your education, I present to you The Sauce Pie
It’s probably a good idea not to get your Sauce Pies confused with each other.
Hysterical! I was in suspense til the end
Way to go detective!
Kids are so funny especially when they get so insistent.
I’m giggling. I love the things kids say that take some detective work to understand. Sauce pie, dir. Of course it’s exhaust pipe. Anyone could have figured that out—like almost never.
Fun post!
Oh, kids are so cute! Mine always got mad when no one could understand them!
Oh, I needed that laugh! I totally laughed out loud. That is cute!! (Thanks for linking up with us over at #findingthefunny!)
oh man – too funny! I love those kid moments when they get words mixed up. My favorite was my oldest told me one day he was going to write in his diarrhea…he meant diary. Yeah, we still laugh about that one. (came from finding the funny!)

My seven year old son is in speech therapy and we have many, many conversations like that. Especially when he’s trying to tell me about things I had no idea he knew about. Trying understanding “Symbiotic Relationship” from a kid who can’t make half of the sounds in the word!
Even I have trouble saying symbiotic relationship.
We still call Blenheim ‘Blem-eden’…
The piccie of the R6 brings back some memories…
