I was dye-ing my corduroy jacket a blue denim colour today. Put the dye and the salt in the machine and then the clothes. Turned the machine on. Nothing. Faffed about on and off for a few hours leaning on, slamming and waggling the door. Nothing. So, while I figure out what to do next, thought I’d share some amusing things said recently by Miss R (just turned 4 this week):
There’s a baby crocodile in my cup. His name is Burt Elburt. I named him that. That’s his surname. His real name is lemon squash. And his middle name is cup. He and the spider were playing a racing game and he won. He fell over and got mud on his knee and then I washed it with the water in my pink cup. Look he’s all dry now.
There were friendly monsters in my bedroom. They were blue yellow and red. Like sonic. Sonic was blue, yellow was yellow and red was red. They were on my wall when I opened my eyes and then on my pillow. I saw them twice. No. I saw them 3 times because I saw them once on my wall and 2 times on my pillow.
Mummy, why have you got hairs on your lip like Daddy?
Mummy, why have you got hairs in your nose? You’ve got a haunted nose.
You know that big room at the sports centre? That’s where they do the jam-nistics.

There is no limit to that girl’s imagination! Shall I call the priest to exorcise your nose? (Or book you in at the beauty parlour?)

I never remember any of this stuff, even 5 minutes after they say it, and especially not to that level of detail – do you have audio recording gear rolling at all times?

Hi AG. If the price is right yeah!
Nice to see you Ben! I like the image of her being being miked up 24/7. Actually no, that would be a complete nightmare. She needs no encouragement to talk. I try and write them down if it’s something funny but you’re right, most of them have been forgotten. Hope you well x Oh BTW, Marian Buckley didn’t used to work at Planet 24 did she?
