My friend took her five-year-old nephew to visit his mum and new baby brother in hospital. On arrival, he gazed at his new brother for several minutes, turned and said, “You growed him good, mum – when can he play?”

Hard candy
We decorated the Christmas tree as a surprise for the little ones and they all woke to find lots of decorations and sweet treats hanging from the branches. We had started making the Christmas lunch when my nephew yelled out, “Auntie, I like the candy canes and chocolate Santas but the apples are a bit hard to bite!” He had bitten into one of the apple decorations as he thought they looked so real!

Cat nap
After a hard day at work, my friend’s adult son fell asleep on the train on the way home. He woke up to see a small girl staring at him from the seat in front. “Mummy,” said the child, “that man’s stopped roaring like a tiger now.” My friend’s son laughs, “I don’t care if I was snoring. I had a lovely sleep.”
