Rosie's first poem

A log log time ugoe threr lived a qeen.
That wos green. Bcose she wos ile.
From her qwilte. There where fly s in it there wos a borll at the palace. The drncer s sead goodnoos.Bcose the qween for wunce wos not
greeeen.And wos playing the boggow drum.
With her bum.

Straight hair

Compare this post, and guess which Daddy prefers.

Blurb

Rosie has really taken her half term project to heart, having written pages of illustrated facts. Now she's done a cover, but that's not the end of things.

"I need to do a 'blurb'. Because books have the title on the cover and the 'blurb' on the back."

Apropos of nothing

Watching Hider In The House today, Holly made the following observation to Daddy:

"He isn't at all like you. He's got hair."

Humour...

Holly:

Q: What is covered in red, and white, and black?
A: A newspaper!

...

Sir Simon Rattle

Holly was conducting Rosie and Daddy's singing, but there had to be an interlude.

Holly: "Right, stop. I think I need to go and do a poo." (Exit stage left, clutching buttocks together.)

Easy questions

Holly came into Mummy and Daddy's bedrom this morning at six o'clock.

Mummy: "It's very early, darling. What is it?"
Holly: "Oh... Can I just ask a question?"
Mummy: "Yes. Go on..."
Holly: "How do you do doggy paddle?"

Ego

Rosie: "These are the words that can describe me. Fantastic... Brilliant... Good... Well done..."

History

Holly has a bib from when she was a baby with "Holly" in American Sign Language on it. She plans to take it to school tomorrow because "it is geography AND history."

Daddy: "How's that?"
Holly: "Because it is from America. So that is to do with geography. And it is history because I have had it from when I was a baby."

Oops...

Holly climbed into Mummy and Daddy's bed this morning. Daddy started tickling Holly quite mercilessly. It's good to do that because Holly laughs like Sid James and thrashes about like mad.

Except this morning she broke Mummy's nose...
