Quote: Rights and Reponsibilities at Home

You know you’re at home because you have refrigerator rights.

But if you eat, you wash up. Rights bring responsibilities.

Everything on Your Plate

Yesterday evening, we had guests for dinner. JB (5 yrs) was over tired and over excited. Perhaps that is why he was being particularly fussy about his food.

L (my wife): Eat up! Everything on your plate is something you normally eat!

JB: Yes… Except my fork.

Something Else That’s True

JB is 5 years old:

I’ll tell you something else that’s true:

Volcanoes don’t have wheels.

Not Enough Water!

JB (now 5 years old) complained that there was not enough water in the tapless end his bath.

With a wry smile, I suggested that he use a beaker to bail water from the deeper tap-end into the shallower end.  After 4 or 5 beakers full he proclaimed that things were now “much better”.

So Close

JB (my 4-year old):

CAT and RUG. They rhyme, don’t they?

With Rough On Them

About a week ago I was going to pick up something from the chip shop for tea.

I asked JB (my 4-year old son) what he wanted.

JB: “Um… Chips and Sausages with Rough on them.”

Apparently he meant battered sausage.

It’s Even Got…

JB is my 4 year old. His mother made him a chocolate milkshake, with a blob of ice-cream floating in it. However, at first sight, JB obliviously misidentified the ice-cream. With glee he announced:

It’s even got bread in it!

So, I asked my good lady if she could make one for me, too. Yum!

I Will See My Skeleton

This week JB, my 4-year old said to me:

When I die, I’ll be able to see my skeleton, won’t I Daddy?

I wasn’t sure were to begin with this one.

One of the Best Days…

…ever.
