This came up as a Facebook memory, one of Grandson George’s first matches:

————————

Conversation with George at the match.

George: Grandad, where is the referee?

Me (pointing): It's that man over there with black shorts, grey shirt and a white stick.

After a pause, me: Can you see him?

George: I can see a man with black shorts and a grey shirt but I can't see his white stick. (Laughter all round)

Me: He hasn't really got a white stick.

George: Well why did you say he had then, silly.

You should have told him that most of the refs that come to Meadow Lane should have had white sticks @Fan of Big Tone. ????

 

Kids say some of the funniest things at times, it's a good story to share @Fan of Big Tone.

I've seen refs who not only need a white stick but a carer, as they've obviously only been let out for the day.Just to balance things out there are also some excellent refs

Down in the basement league we get some right Charlie’s @super_ram

Apologies to anyone called Charlie on the forum. 

We should come up with questions to ask our kids/grandkids and see what they say.. could be a funny topic as they come up with the funniest things sometimes.

It's funny and sweet what kids sometimes say, it's even funny when they spot an elder making a mistake in their mind.

pon could do a take on that american show 'kids say the'. lol

Most Definitely mate ????????

Over the years Jake's said some very funny things, I recall at an away game he asked why the opposition team had 12 players on the pitch. This was during a physio helping on of the player.
