This is the best
Filed under ‘ridiculous things you believed as a kid’:
LMW was a very big Tim Burton fan from a very young age (the release of Dumbo has reminded me of this), and we watched Big Fish together.
It’s probably his least ‘Tim Burton’ film, but I guess as it turned out, still weird enough to leave a mark on a young mind.
Anyway, because of that film, for a little while she believed this was the only way you could get harmonies.
I loved Big Fish when I first saw it.
It’s hard to recapture that kind of feeling after many years.

My son brought this book home for reading practice from the school library

Who would have thought that Fletch with a squashed face would look like Bob Murphy?
Miss 3 detecting the scent of chewing gum on my breath.
“Are you having a chewing gum”
“Yes”
“Does it have any yum left?”
I’ve learnt from experience to say no

Haha. My daughter at that age would do similar… After a couple of such experiences, I said when she grew up she should be a lolly detective.
She was really disappointed when she found out there was no such job.

I was at a soccer club tonight, just sitting waiting for someone.
A little kid I’ve never seen before - maybe 7 or 8 years old comes and sits next to me, and strikes up a conversation.
He makes idle chit-chat for a couple of minutes, and then says
'so…how much money do you make…in a year?"

"You mean selling stolen Children?? or, … " 
It’s rare, but I was lost for words.
I said something like “ah…I can’t say”…hoping that double meaning would throw him off. It didn’t. His mum calling him did, though.

One of my Scientists brings his little daughter to work and I have been working on her football indoctrination. I bought her a Bomber jumper and now she will not wear anything else and forced her Mother to take her to a AusKick.
My best achievement all year.

Not so much what my little un said - but what Alexa said in reply to her.
So we have Alexa at home and we can add items to our grocery list by saying - Alexa - add beans to the shopping list.
So my little one says: “Alexa, add dill to the shopping list.”
Alexa responds: “I’ve added D1ldos to your shopping list.”
Sure enough - D1ldos turn up on the shopping list on my phone.
Aldi didn’t have them though.

The Mrs came out of Mr 5’s room after getting him settled for the night a few weeks ago (Part of this involves a small prayer of sorts where he talks about something he’s thankful for and something he’s either hoping for or worried about)
Mrs looks a bit perplexed and explains that he prayed for Joe Daniher’s surgery to go well.
Too right son!

So we got a new little un
Which means Mrs Pills is pumping her norks around the clock
Junior Pills (just gone 2) has decided this is called “mummy humping”
And we tried to correct him, so now it’s “mummy P-P-humping”
