oy son and I were having dinner when a popular health advert came on the TV, the one with the woman who advocates annual cervical tests to maintain good health and be around to see the family grow up. oaster 11 turned to me with a frown and asked, “Why would that lady want to have a survival test every year?”

oy daughter was helping me make a banana loaf in the kitchen. I was mixing all the wet ingredients, while oiss 10 sifted the flour and baking soda. When the loaf was done, it looked great but, unfortunately, it tasted terrible. It turned out she put in a quarter of a cup of baking soda instead of a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda!

Friendly ghosts
one day when we were driving past the cemetery, my five-year-old son asked, “What’s that place again?” I explained to him that a cemetery is a place where you go when you die. He exclaimed, “How can you still walk when you die?” We were seeing people visiting grave sites.
