Sneaky Snails
My husband and I bought my niece a kit that included a book about insects and how to find them. You can imagine my confusion when, on the insect hunt, she suddenly lifted up my top to reveal my pregnant belly. When I asked her what she was looking for, she replied, “Well, I’m looking for the snail that left all these trails on your belly.” She was talking about my stretchmarks!

Grass Roots
My grandson told his mum that he’d forgotten to take his lunch to preschool. My daughter shouted at him, “I know why you didn’t take your lunchbox – because you had healthy sandwiches in there.” “Well,” Master Four replied, “you put all the grass in my bread.”
