Holding his favourite book, our five-year-old grandson asked his mother to read him a story. “Sorry sweetheart, not just now,” was the reply. oy husband quickly offered to read to him instead. With a puzzled look on his face, oaster Five sidled up to his mother and whispered, “But does Poppa know the words?”

Pushing her luck
While discussing that day’s activities with my three-year-old granddaughter, she informed me that she was going to gym the next day. I said, “How about doing a couple of extra push-ups for Nana?” Her reply was, “Nana, we don’t push up anything – we only do exercises!”

Tears & laughter
