Conversations with Minty and Turi...

While putting away the easter decorations…

Minty: I'm just packing these away in case an easter-birthday or an easter-christmas comes up

Me: do you think an easter-christmas is likely to come up?

Minty: yes coz this is the real world and in this world anything can happen

Clearly the kids are still confused about the death of their goldfish…

Turi: Where's Timmy?

Me: Timmy Boomda is dead

Minty: I said goodnight and in the night he died and then he became a wee and went to the poo party

Turi: No, he's dead. He's a poo.

Minty [angrily]: I know he's dead!

Minty [sobbing a little]: we don't have to work for everything we want.  The world doesn't work that way.

Me: Doesn't it?  Tell me, how does the world work?

Minty: It just gives us icy poles when we want them.

who can argue with that logic?

On the way to have coffee...

Turi: Can we have a cino baby?
