Miss M is off school today. She has conjunctivitis so is a little sore and battered about the eyes but otherwise fine. Just before lunch she tramps into the kitchen wearing Miss E’s flippers, tugs on my arm and clears her throat.
Miss M: “Mummy, where shall my go to get to my swimming?”
Me: “Erm, I think you should go round the kitchen twice, then into the living room.”
She looks at me, puts her hands on her hips, frowns and sighs.
Miss M: “No Mummy. Dat’s not right. You go round de kitchen and den into de living room, and den onto de furniture.”
Me: “Oh right, of course, silly me.”
Blimey that kid takes after her dad.

You know, were I to be totally honest, I think I’d admit that I want to meet Miss M nearly as much as I want to meet you someday.
And I am so going to go play with toonlet again now.

Lilacspecs, you jest right? ;D
Kim, Miss M would love to meet you too babe. And your toonlet was fabulous, you should definitely do more.
Mya, she has, but flippers are so much cooler don’t you know.
Susan, it’s a little known sport here in the UK. They also do football without the ball, they just call it ‘foot’.
Maria, thanks babe.
Holl, as long as she’s on our side I don’t mind.
Maureen I am so embarrassed. I should know that shouldn’t I.
Mie, yep. But I like it.
Bee, it’s always the best route to take. Snort.
Corey thanks hon. She is so much better today. A bit sore and itchy but tons better thank bob.
WT, were you never a kid? No don’t answer that.
Huckdoll, she is a doll. A very cheeky one.
Frog in the Field, I’ll check.
