Who Needs Gadgets?

There can't be many aspiring workmen who go to work in their pyjamas. Maybe LL will set a trend?

Chrimbo has come and gone, fortunately I have been at home. I'm off back to work tomorrow morning. As expected, with two young loons, and a heavily pregnant other half, it was a quiet one. The boys had a great time though - lots of age appropriate gifts.....I've got a bee in my bonnet about 3 year olds getting Nintendo DS's, and 5 year olds getting laptops. Enough of that though......our boys got what we consider to be just right. Aside from a few disputes over who is playing with what, everything has gone just about right. I even got spoiled a bit myself......

Mummy's Beautiful.....Or Maybe Not??

I had an interesting chat with BB today on the way home from nursery. One of those ones from way over in left field, that you don't see coming. It went like this:

BB: Daddy. Why do you love mummy?

BFS: Pardon? (Not the buying time kind of pardon, but the come again mister kind)

BB: Why do you love mummy?

So in the following three nanoseconds, all the totally inappropriate answers crossed my mind. It's not like a 4 year old will understand that she's a chef in the kitchen and a tart in the bedroom now, is it?

BFS: Because mummy is beautiful. And kind. And generous.....I was leading to somewhere near perfect for the record.

BB (laughing): Don't be silly daddy. Mummy is not beautiful.

BFS (this should be interesting!): You don't think mummy is beautiful? Tell daddy who you do think is beautiful then?

BB: You daddy. You're the only one that is beautiful. (Spoken in the best Weegie are you for real dip shit tone - think Chewin the Fat)

Can he really be that manipulative 9 days before Christmas at 4 years of age???




I maintain that she scrubs up nae bad myself.
