It's well established that Peanut is the mother while Bug is the baby. I would like to say their conversations are complex and deep, but normally they consist of high pitched "Mummy, mummy!" and "Baby, baby!" Ad infinitum.
But this morning Peanut, being hungry and with big plans for drawing a giraffe right after breakfast, scoffed her toast.
When the squeaky bread child came calling across the table, she was very blunt: " Sorry, but your mother has been eaten. Try again tomorrow."
The toast baby did not seem too perturbed.
Mrs Accident: raising resilient* children since 2008....
*read "shockingly callous"
Ah yes.. the resilient child.. never forget Boyo's excited fish countdown when they started dying, "..and then we will have two fish, and then we will have one fish, and then we will have NONE FISH!! YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteDisturbing children est. 2004.
Hmmm, a little too close to Peanut's "and now Panzer is gone, Archie will die, then we can get a cat! Hooray!" for comfort...
DeleteThat is awesome! I love kids!
