The trouble with thinking too much...

... is that you ask questions like:

"Mummy, do you spell DVD D-E-E V-E-E D-E-E?"

And then look hurt when the two people meant to care most about you in the world burst out laughing and can't speak for five minutes. Especially after you ask it so earnestly.

I haven't written this blog for so long. Mainly I have started work and breakfast is sadly fifteen rushed minutes before leaving the hosue for a very long day. I'm the first to admit these early mornings make me grumpy and I don't feel much like talking or listening until I've properly woken up. Plus we've now got chickens and the children spend most of breakfast pretending to be chickens with superbly thought out names like 'Chick chick' 'Superchick' and my own personal favourite 'Chicken'.

However, last Saturday we were blessed not only with the DVD question from Child the Elder, but an almost equally funny "if I plant the seed off this bagel will it grow into a bagel tree?" (asked just as earnestly) from the Younger. Oh to be in their world.
