DH has been a MasterChef fan for as long as it's been on the telly. It was only recently that he saw John Torode's name flashed up on the screen and realised his name wasn't Jonty Rhodes.

My God daughter wondered if her mummy needed to take her "description" to the chemist.

"He!lo, I'm 4ft 10" , shoe size 2, with light brown hair" (my friend, not me) Don't think that would have helped much with her bronchitis.

My GD hoped she would get an ‘extinction’in her ballet exam. Thankfully, she only got a merit. ?

Our GD was about 4yrs old when she was convinced that her Great Grandma had a giraffe in her front room.
It took us a while to twig that my Mum had been complaining of a draught in her front room.
Said GD is now 20 and we still don't let her forget it grin

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?
