From the Mouths of Babes: My eldest daughter approached me this morning, whilst I was attempting to reach the peak of yet another mountainous pile of ironing that seems to have become my lot in this house, and, somewhat tentatively, she began her question with that familiar tone that only a child uses when addressing a parent: Mu..uuum? Without hesitation; I reply with the long drawn out affirmative used only by a parent when responding to child, suspecting that the question may entail either some embarrassment or financial expenditure, as follows: yeeeeee-eeees To which she more confidently replied: can you sign my friend book? Completely sidestepped by this perfectly innocent request, which entailed no embarrassment or financial expenditure, I rather more lightly said: of course darling! and smiled. I shouldnt have smiled. My relief was immediately snatched back when she stated disturbingly: Its so I can remember you when you DIE! A little uneasily I suggested: Did you have to say that with quite so much relish darling? She offered no reply, merely giggled evilly put her coat on and was out of the door in the company of her father and siblings before I could inquire further. I have since inspected both flights of stairs, neither as yet appear to have been smeared with baby oil or soap, so i assume I am safe for now. I adore my children, and indulge them horribly, maybe a little too horribly!!!
