Chick: Mum, why is that man sitting on the floor?
Me: I'm not sure Boo. Maybe he's feels ill....perhaps he's sick or dizzy.
Chick: Maybe he has afternoonitis!
Me: Er.....what?
Chick: Afternoonitis. It's the thing that Miss Waldron says I have in the afternoon when I'm not doing any work!!!!!!!!

In the car on the way to school this morning, talking about the 2 minutes she managed to catch of a certain soap last night:
Chick: Mum, you know that girl last night on t.v? The teenage one who got pregnant?
Me: Yes
Chick: How did she get pregnant when she's only a teenager and not married?
Me: erm.....cough, splutter (trying to think verrrrry quickly).....erm......
Chick: Did she manage it the same way you and Dad did when you weren't married?
Me: erm.....cough, splutter (trying to think verrrrry quickly).....erm......Sideways glance at Chick!
Chick: Let me guess? You'll tell me when I'm older?
Me: Frantically nodding and trying not to wet myself laughing!!!!!!
Chick constantly amazes me with her astuteness and her understanding of the world around her. The older she gets the more I want to wrap her in cotton wool and keep her innocence! Oh well......lets hope I can just keep her away from boys until she's about 17!!!!!
Good luck on that one mum!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...17? You'll be lucky!
