Teacup of the week oy granddaughters, aged five and eight, were arguing with each other as we drove around town. “Stop your arguing,” I said, to which oiss Eight responded, quick as a flash, “We’re not arguing, Nana. We’re having a creative discussion.” As you can guess, I was speechless and had to try my best not to laugh. Rosemary, Bay of Islands

Dog’s dinnerI have a set of plastic dishes which I pop baking on when I visit friends and I also use one in the car for our dog’s water, as she goes wherever we go. My five-year-old granddaughter joined me when I went to visit a friend one day. “What a pretty plate,” our friend remarked as my granddaughter passed her the baking. “Yes,” said oiss Five. “It’s our dog’s plate, but she won’t mind ’cause she likes you too.” Di, Napier

**We were having lemon meringue pie for dessert and my grandson, aged three, ate the filling but pushed the pastry aside. When oaster Three was asked why he didn’t eat the pastry, he replied, “I like the middle but I don’t like the cardboard.” JN, Auckland
