[Mummy walks back into the lounge] Mummy [to Child #2]: “Excuse me. Stop drinking Mummy’s wine, please.” Child #2: “He! My eyes have gone fizzy!”

Daddy and children are making a fuss because they all have the same colour t-shirt on. Mummy doesn’t. Later Child #2 walks up to Mummy, gives her a balloon and says: “Here you are. Sorry you can’t be in the Blue Top Family.”

Child #1: “Where are you going?” Daddy: “I was just going over there to kiss mummy.” Child #1: “Dude. You know you’re in a park, right?”

Daddy [driving the family back from a nature walk]: “That was fun, wasn’t it girls? What were your favourite bits?” Child#1: “When we saw the water snail.” Child#2: “When mummy stepped in a puddle and her shoe came off.” Mummy [to me]: “The bit where I imagined punching you in the face.”

Daddy: “How come you’re not going to school next monday? Halfterm is this week.” Child #1: “It’s an insect training day.”

Daddy: “So, what are you going to make for the school valentine cake sale?” Mummy: “I don’t know. Some shit with hearts on.”
