8-9 year old girl studying closely the contents of a jar - couldn't see what it was - while speaking to her younger brother. Do you think that we could take one out and experiment one when we get home?

I was heading out yesterday evening to meet the chair of governors of our local school with a view to joining the board.

Dylan (5): "Don't say anything silly".

It's a perfectly sensible thing to say to me.

This is a food utterance.

MsC and her fiance live off a budget of £25 per week for food for the two of them. They can't afford many luxuries, like puddings, cakes, etc.

So last night he made profiteroles dipped in chocolate and topped with spun sugar.

It's cheap if you make it all from scratch, apparently.

3 year old to nurse about to give her immunisations, one in each arm:
"Have you washed you hands?"

"What's the point of having Nutella and not being allowed to eat it straight from the jar?"

Wise word, very wise

I think you could be some sort of honorary uncle, Woolly.

Miss Dan the Elder doing homework on dystopia, takes a look at the news for inspiration as to what might have led to her imagined state of the world:
"The news is all dystopian."

Confronted with a Silly Sustrans Slalom at the bottom a hill on NCN41: "Why do they put this here? It makes you lose momentum."

Deglet Nour

It was gold and a bit stringy.

This evening we also had this exchange:
me: *moment of exasperation*
her: what are you going to do with seven hake?

OK, that's verging on befuddling, but I might start using "oh for seven hake" in conversation now and then.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #293 on:** 30 May, 2015, 03:41:47 pm »

Seven hake for feeding the multitude?

perpetual dan · « **Reply #294 on:** 30 May, 2015, 03:54:27 pm »

instead of "for heaven's sake"

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #295 on:** 30 May, 2015, 05:34:31 pm »

If there are seven hake how many loaves of bread are needed?

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #296 on:** 30 May, 2015, 05:39:27 pm »

We get that, but are you sure it was seven hake rather than Severn hake? (wiki says the nearest they get is the Mediterranean, but maybe they went for a wander?)

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #297 on:** 30 May, 2015, 06:01:30 pm »

Or could it be a reference to an area of woodland near Marlborough?

She seemed fairly sure they were fish and more than one.

The Little Duck is now capable of counting to (and recognising the symbols up to) six.

Clarion: Let's count to three!
