An audience of two

Monday November 05, 2007

Brits are bad at sums.
Kevin sent me this. He's probably already blogged it, but I have to since A) it's from the Manchester Evening News and B) it contains this immortal quote:

I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I'm not having it.

That's right, Love. You tell 'em.

Zoe's Pre-Emptive Strike on her brother
We had some visitors on Friday. Two friends with their children, Charlotte aged 6 and Stephen aged 2. Which makes them the same distance apart age-wise as Zoe and Jamie.

Charlotte and Zoe were playing in her room when there was An Incident. I don't know exactly what happened, but it seems to have involved Stephen and a toy giraffe.

Following the Incident it would appear that Charlotte explained to Zoe her views on younger, male siblngs. Because soon afterwards Zoe came downstairs and asked if I'd put a (child-proof) lock on her bedroom door to keep Jamie out. I agreed that I would and she went back to play with Charlotte.

I thought that would be the end of it, but oh no. Not my Zoe. On Saturday she announced that she wanted to make a sign for her door. From what she described it sounded as though she wanted something like the image I've got here. I got her some paper and mummy helped her make it, I gave her some sticky tape and she stuck it to the door.

On Sunday night I took a closer look at the sign. I meant to take a photo of it, but my camera is bust, so it'll have to wait. And as expected there is the stick figure of Jamie and lots of red. But next to the sign she has had mummy write the words "Jamie, please stay out of my bedroom when you are two years old". I just fell about laughing.
