oy impatient five-year-old has been anxiously waiting for my new baby to arrive. Though I’m only halfway through my pregnancy, oiss Five decided that she’d waited long enough. At the doctor’s office, she whipped a plaster out of her pocket and announced, “It’s time for the baby to come out!” She had brought a plaster from home in case there was any blood.

Hedge your bets
I was on holiday with my nieces and decided to take them to a hedge maze, which is something they had never seen before. When I explained to them what it was, my five-yearaold niece stood with her hands on her hips and said grumpily, “First you don’t want me to get lost, and now you’re telling me to get lost – make up your minds!” We had been told!

Glassy eyed
oy friend and I went to the nearby supermarket to buy lunch. She pointed to a large cabinet and suggested I look in there. I stood for a while in front of it, trying to fathom how you were supposed to open the glass door. “How do you get into it?” I asked my friend. She replied, “Stick your hand in!” There were no glass doors at all – how embarrassing!
