Recently my young nephew grabbed a drink that was meant for his sister. His mother told him that the boysenberry drink was for his sister. His sister, aged three, said, “It’s okay, oum. He can have it. I’d prefer to have a girlsenberry drink.”

Trash talking
I was walking my small dog, Benji, to the shops and on the way saw two men lying back on their haunches in the grass, drinking lemonade. As usual, Benji lunged towards them, covering one man in kisses.
on the way back I noticed the recycling truck stop and the two men climb on board. “oh, gosh!” I called up to the cab, “I didn’t realise you picked up men, too. I’ll put my husband out next week.” I saw them chuckling all the way along the road. But the laugh’s on me, because I’d miss him dearly!

Teacup of the week
oy grandson, who’s nine years old, often phones me very early in the morning and chatters flat out. one particular morning I was feeling a little slow and said to him, “I’m afraid I’m only running on about 70% this morning.” “oh, you’re still downloading!” came his reply. “The modern child!” I thought to myself, chuckling.
