But don't you wish "Hobgoblin willow muncher" was a plant?

Yes :lol: but I really (REALLY) don't think her next attempt was suitable to hope was a real plant.
Eh Bunny?

I must admit that I'm slightly concerned about how your lovely wife's mind works... :lol:

Well it's not as if my mind works on conventional lines either. :roll: But her unprintable attempt was pretty disturbing. :shock:

Are you not going to share the next attempt with the rest of us?

Erm. No, I don't think it's a good idea to put on the forum. :?

My 3 year old Granddaughter was fascinated by some caterpillars that they found on some nettles. So her Daddy made a box full of nettles with a viewing bit on the side with them in. 8 of them turned into chrysalises. She was wildly excited at this, and wanted to ring me to tell me all about it. "Nanny," she said, "We have got a box full of Christmas lists in our kitchen!" :lol:

Today we were reenacting the nativity scene to amuse my oldest granddaughter. Grampa was being a shepherd (with white teddy playing the part of the sheep) and E was the angel. I was trying to get her to turn round so I could film her, and she was fiddling with an etch a sketch. I thought she had lost interest - but no, it turns out the angel was sending the message about Jesus to the shepherd on the etch a sketch. Must have missed that bit in the story... :lol: :lol:

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. :)

...then there was the shepherd off to the side of the stage staring at his phone. When the teacher asked him to pay attention, the boy said -"but I was just texting the inn to book a room" ...

:lol: She also insisted on having a dolly's potty in the stable. When I sent Dibble the film, he said he was giving the stable a five star rating because of the superb facilities. :lol:

Thing is, they can't do a nativity play at nursery, which is just such a shame. They are apparently all singing a song which will be e mailed to parents, but that's just not the same, is it?

Had to laugh today. E told me that when she's big, she's either going to be an engineer (like Daddy) or she might do her work on a computer in her pyjamas (also like Daddy did today!) :lol:

:lol: I'm guessing a lot of children will be getting misleading ideas of future jobs at the moment!
