[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!”

Child #2: “Knock, knock”

Us: “Who’s there?”

Child #2: “Dr Who”

Just found a piece of paper with the interest rate of the kids savings account when we opened it (4.25% in 2004) and then checked what it is now (0.25%).

And the £250 that the government gave us for Child #2 when they were born? Now worth £210 due to interest rates and a 1.5% annual “management fee”. Thanks.

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.”
