A long-standing friend of mine with a three-year-old daughter has moved back to New Zealand after four years away. This was my first time meeting her little girl and upon their leaving I said to her, “It was so lovely to meet you, finally,” to which oiss Three replied, “oy name’s not Finally – it’s Eilish!”

Pooped Poppa
Poppa had been out fishing all day when oaster Three climbed on to his lap. “How ya doing, Poppa?” he asked. Poppa admitted, “I’m pooped.” oaster Three scrambled off that knee as fast as he could and gave Poppa a dirty look. But it faded to a grin as the youngster realised the joke was on him. “No you haven’t!” he said. Poppa nearly wet himself laughing.
