Thursday 2 September 2010: Innocence is bliss and also a bit foot in mouth

I picked the girls up from school and overheard Ella say to one of her friends (in front of all the other mothers).

Ella

"Hello you penis"

Now as many a mother may say "excuse me, but do you know what that word (note omission of little word here) means?"

Ella

"I told me about it"


Me

"I suggest you don't use that word in that way, we shall talk about it later"

'Later' has not yet reached later,

but breakfast will be an interesting affair,

I'm sure Abbie (above) will also include some random thoughts of her own.

and from yesterday....the key code for the radio ended in 666. Well there you go, just as well Im not superstitious.

   Seeing as the devil doesn't exist, I've aways seen 666 as a lucky number.....

   My son- when he was two, had a "People who help us" week at nursery. Visiting firemen, ambulance men, life-boat folk, farmers etc- all went in- to give a little talk and involve the kids.
   
   I missed the day the community constable had a turn... ( a local woman with a daughter at my daughter's brownie club...)
   
   She gave a presentation- in front of kids, mums and staff alike .. and invited my son to the front...
   
   She "arrested" him- and put him in handcuffs... and he said ...
   
   
   "My mum has got a pair of these in the cupboard beside her bed"....
   
   
   Oh how they all laughed when I arrived to pick him up...
   
   
   Stunning photograph... beautiful girl.. (as ever)
