I was reading my two-year-old grandson his favourite animal sounds book. Usually, after I read the page out loud, he makes the sound of the animal. The last page reads, “oummy says, ‘I love you.'” However, on this particular day, when I came to the last page and read out, “oummy says…” my grandson piped up and said, in a loud, growling voice, “Keep off the garden!”

Helping hands
I was reading aloud an advertisement for a bidet to my mum. “It washes and dries you at the touch of a button!” I said. oy 10-year-old was listening in and said, “Eww, so a couple of hands come up and wash you?” We all had a good laugh at such a funny thought.

Howdy park-ner!
I was dropping my children off at school early one morning when I executed a nifty and quite fast duck into a parking space. As I triumphantly looked up at the car in front of me, I saw its personalised number plate, which read, “YEEHAA”!
