That is BRILLIANT!

I just love how young children say what they mean without worrying about the consequences.

It reminds me of when my Son Adam had his 6th Birthday. My Mum asked him what it felt like being 6 & his answer was simple. . . . .

"It's just the same as being 5, but with a new bike."

Perhaps lesson 2 should be about Heel and Toeing.

I love these stories. My son was five when The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin died. I did not want to tell him because he was a big fan and I though he would be upset. I thought I should tell him before he heard about it at school.
I told him that The Crocodile Hunter died. He looked real sad and said "how." It told him he had been "stung" by a ray and it pierced his heart. He was quiet for a few seconds and then said, "well, that was bound to happen."
I still laugh about it.

Here his Darcey trying out the three pedals with two legs :lol: :lol: , She came out with my flat cap on ( or is it Brian Johnson's cap ) and jumped straight in, I had to grab the camera, I guess Darcey only needs a Whippet now.

Just after I got my shell back from the painter i bought a work friend around to show him my new super paint job, when I lifted the cover the whole side was a rainbow of different colours!! My youngest had decided to help Dad with his car and painted it with his hands.....................Luckily it was all water colour's so washed off easily but my heart stopped for about 30sec until I realized what it was...........................
