Yesterday, I was sitting behind a young couple on the bus. The man was snoozing and the mum got into a rather desperate conversation with her daughter who was aged about four. I was trying hard not to listen, but the woman sounded a little stressed as she tried to explain that, no, she would never give the little girl alcohol to make her better. She did, however, sometimes give her Calpol. The more the poor mum pronounced the medicine deliberately and correctly, the more the little girl was clearly saying: "Yes mummy, alcohol...for when I'm sick." We've all been there with children and I wondered if anyone had a similar story to share?

I was planning to take my 4 year old granddaughter to the supermarket with me, and she asked if we could go to the one with the underground car park and explained ‘Grandma, it has an alligator!’ - it has an escalator from the car park to shop floor level! I prefer the image of an alligator waiting for us at the top!

Not only children that say these things. Mum was singing along one day to Stand By Your Man but was instead singing stand by your beds. When I pointed this out to her she said she had thought the song didn’t make sense but she liked the tune lol

My bad tempered old cat, Pud, gave a grumpy wowl when granddaughter approached. When asked why she was crying, she said "Pudding did a bad purr!"
