Makes sense, I suppose

Veronica: "Mum, how come you wear glasses?"
Mum: "Because I'm as blind as a bat."
Veronica: "But bats don't wear glasses!"

My Paint!

Mum has bought some new makeup. She opens it up and places it on the table to check it all out. Renee spots it and exclaims:

"My paint! My paint!"

Experiece the elements

With air-conditioning in our cars, open windows are pretty rare. On the odd occasion we open the windows whilst driving, the kids refer to it as "windy hair day". It's a real novelty. (I didn't think so when I was a kid!)

Today it was raining. Pretty heavily. Cameron asked for a "wetty hair day". I don't think so!

New bodily functions

Veronica hasn't quite mastered the art of holding her breath underwater yet. Almost every time she goes under, she surfaces coughing and spluttering. And sometimes burping. So she's invented a new bodily function. In her words, it's a "burp-cough".

Ewwww...

Times have changed. (Beep!)

The kids are playing "shop" at the moment. They have set themselves up with a cash register - but instead of typing in purchases (like we used to), they are running things along the table in front of their register and saying "beep!"

Gone are the days of having to key in the amount, it seems!

Put your hand on your knee...

Another case of misheard lyrics.

This time, Camron's favourite song: "Are You Going To Be My Girl", by Jet. (Yeah, I know. Pretty cool fave song for a 5 year old!)

Anyhow, for the uninitiated, the song goes:

One two three
Take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine
And I really wanna make you mine

Cameron's version:

One two three
Put your hand on your knee
Mumble mumble mumble
Mumble mumbla make you mine.

Well... he's close!

Why didn't I think of this?

A little off-topic, but this is a fantastic idea.

Before going on a trip, have a peek at where the kids playgrounds are in the area you're going to.

The only thing they need to add is for you to add your starting location & destination and have it tell you all the playgrounds along the way...
