I was watching TV with my young son. The family cat was asleep on my lap, purring loudly. My son asked me why she was making that noise, so I explained that that’s what cats do when they’re happy.
A few nights later we were watching TV and my husband dozed off and started snoring. our son said in a surprised voice, “Daddy is happy.” When I asked why, he said, “Because he is purring.” Since that day, snoring is always referred to as “purring”.

Eat your greens
oy three-year-old granddaughter has always loved fruit and veges. This morning I steamed some broccoli, which she then ate for breakfast. I was so amused when she asked me to cook more, and asked, “Please add some leeks?”
