While out walking with our fouryear- old granddaughter, she became grizzly and irritated so my husband decidedto lift her onto his shoulders to carry her. Having only taken a few steps, she said to me, “Nana, Papa has got paint in his hair.” I looked up and realised she was talking about his new white strands coming through. Kids – you’ve got to love them.*

Feeding frenzy
We were sitting down at the table for a family dinner and little oiss Two had managed to get her spaghetti bolognaise all over her face. Her father decided to remedy the situation by scrubbing her face with the table cloth. “What’s Daddy doing?” asked her mummy. Their daughter replied with a cheeky grin on her face, “He’s fighting me!”
