Master, two, loves to play hide and seek. I went looking for him outside and got quite a fright when there was no sign of him. But when I called out to him, I heard a quiet, “mummy”. I looked over to see my little son sitting inside the birdcage with the lorikeet, eating the dry bird-food mix. Needless to say, Dad won’t forget to lock the cage again.

SMARTY PANTS
Master, 11, had been nagging his sister (Miss, 13) for months to stop wearing his boxers, but to no avail. He threatened to wear her bra to school if she didn’t stop borrowing his undies – and a few days later did as promised, with his head held high and not an ounce of embarrassment. Miss 13 was simply mortified when her mother had to come in and collect her undergarment from the principal’s office.

HEALTH CHECK
My nine-year-old granddaughter was watching TV with her grandfather and me when an advert for cervical smears came on. “Have you been, Nana?” she asked, and I replied that I had. She then turned to her grandfather and said, “What about you?” He replied, going slightly red, “No, but I did have a tetanus injection last week.” Miss, Nine, was satisfied.
