Things the kids said and other stuff to remember...
Child #2: “If you want to kill a cat you have to throw boiling water on it.”
Mummy: “Why would someone want to kill a cat?”
Child #2: “To eat it”
Mummy: “Who would want to eat a cat?”
Child #2: “People in other countries. Like Keynsham.”
Child #2: “Can seals breathe out of water?”
Daddy: “Yes, they can. They can stay under the water for a long time, though.”
Child #1: “Yes. They’re Aluminiums.”
Child #2: “You know we went to see Buckingham Palace? Well Amber’s Granny has been inside. And she’s not even a member.”
Child #1: “Have you got anything that does writing on your computer – like Microscoff?”
Child #2: “Mummy, I’ve got a splinter – get the Tweenies.”
Daddy has to question another child in class about the ‘dissapearance’ of a toy belonging to Child #1. Child #1 isn’t there but Child#2 is. The other child denies taking it but it’s fairly obvious she’s not telling the truth. As we’re walking away Child #2 shakes her head and says seriously to me: “She said she didn’t do it but I don’t think that’s a proof.”
Child #2: “I don’t hear very well, I think I need to get my ears pierced.”
Child #2: [walking up to a lady with dwarfism in a wheelchair] “Are you an oompa loompa?”
