My three-year-old great-grandson and I were discussing the merits – or otherwise – of Coca-Cola. I told him, “It’s not good for you.” Master Three replied, “It’s good in my world.” I reasoned, “It might taste nice, but it’s not good for you inside.” He thought for a moment, then said, “Well, I’ll drink it outside,” and then added brightly, “We can have a picnic?”

Time machine
My six-year-old grandson was watching TV when he asked how long he had before bedtime. Mum said he had five minutes. He then said, “Mum, can you pause the time so I can go to the toilet?”
