Let me give you an example.
At age ten she came through the door after school yelling "Mum, Mum I'm on the netball team so I need an airfix shirt!"
I did know what she meant and when I had stopped laughing I corrected her "It's Aertex shirt". She made a kind of Pshaw noise and sped on with how she was selected.
When Mr M and I first met we took my children to stay in his parents caravan for a weekend and during that time She announced loudly that "You two are not going to be left alone at all, I am going to play grapefruit all weekend". She meant it too even if the word was gooseberry.
All this is just so that I can say how delighted I am that Miss Boo has inherited that gene.

"Ahhh, the Eclipse! well that's different, that starts at about 8am"
"So what's an apocalypse Daddy?"
He explained but he simply had to tell me about it later when we were watching the

You've got me thinking..I was in the carpark at Sainsburys for the eclipse: is this somewhere I'd be happy to be, were the apocalypse to arrive?
I just love it when you post about "Little Boo!" She is so darn cute and everything she says is too!! We were unable to view the eclipse here which in my mind is nearly an apocalypse in itself!!
Love it when it doesn't turn out right ... like the time TBC spotted a fly in the kitchen and told me to spray it with electricity!
Brilliant use of language - makes life so interesting!
