That's sweet of him. Sort of.

I'm not sure what to make of it. His dad absolutely does not smell, but I assume it was something like "mum will like this being her space again". Please do not light candles when I'm out though

[viggy]

I just assumed his dad would reek of overpriced aftershave. :judgey:

This is possibly true

As I was dropping A off at school this morning, she shouted over "Don't forget to tell Daddy to work hard!"

She's decided she wants to go into space, and I told her the only way she can do that is to become an astronaut, so she needs to work hard at school. Except she doesn't want to go into space without her Mammy and Daddy, so we all have to become astronauts now. Ergo, we all have to work hard.

Has anyone got a Dummies Guide to Being an Astronaut, by any chance?

[Loralei]

Oh

[Cerise]

That’s so cute!

[Squirrel]

That’s very cute! Or should I say… Это очень мило!

[Elya]

My children also recognise it as the tune I chase them round to.

It predates BH if that helps?

Hmm, jazz aficionado or dirty old man? Tough choice. ;)

That's hilarious, Glint!

What age is Sam, Elya?

He’s 8 - sorry, I forgot I posted this!

My parents looked after the babies yesterday. Dad was playing a card game with TT when she said to him in a sinister voice, "You know I'm going to win, don't you." Bond villain in the making!

In the car this morning, A was telling me all about her friend Lilou doing dancing classes.
"Would you like to take dancing classes too, sweetheart?"
"No, I already know how to dance."

I probably don't need that 'Self-confidence for Kids' book I bought.

[viggy]

I fully love that

Both of those are ace

Mr J made a queso dip the other day trying to make it similar to one of the boys' favorite restaurants. When asking L how it was he said it was Deee-licious (a family joke because S said that as a small) and L then said 'No! It's not Deee-licious, it's A-licious'.

I was half listening to V this morning talking about gameswhen she came out with this dark, George RR Martin-esque gem:

V “…and I play a slithery little snail and they have a sword that they have to cut me in half with.”

I have double checked this isn’t an actual game she plays at school .

[purple_dress]

They are so weird! Similarly weird: S talking about the drawer under his new divan bed - 'Wow, this drawer is massive! You could fit a whole baby in here!'.

Er please don't!

Elf has been badgering me if he can watch something on Netflix. I eventually went to watch the trailer and noticed it was a U certificate. I explained to him that he can watch anything on kids Netflix or if it had a U symbol in a green triangle.

“So anyone can watch stuff with a green triangle?”

“Yes it means universal so it means for everyone. Ask me about PG and up.”

“Absolutely everyone!? Even people on death row?”

[Squirrel]

I love all of these. Their brains are so funny

[Jet]

The day before L's birthday we'd talked about what time he was born and we happened to be in the car yesterday around that time so I pointed out the time to him and he said "OH! My seatbelts just got tighter!"
