Winter 2017

Luca, discussing how in the Gruffalo, the snake, the owl and the fox all want to eat the mouse, "and that's because a mouse has lots of energy".  Someone's been watching too many wildlife documentaries.

Me: Thank you for being patient today darling.
Annick: Not that patient!

How Luca will play his clapping syllable games as he goes to sleep.

How Annick will end a story to Papa with a cheerful, "et voila!"

Luca: Annick hit me with her guitar!
Annick: It is not a guitar, it is a UKULELE.

How Annick talks about literature, "mama, you know there are two kinds of books, friction and non-friction.  Friction is not real" and how she calls authors "wroters".

Luca, making pretend ice cream in the bath: "the flavour of mine is fruity pineapple flavour!  It's delicious!  It's got lots of gluten free in it!"

How the soundtrack of our life is an unfurling sticky tape dispenser.

Sitting in the warm dusk, eating ice cream by the beach in Hawaii - what is your favourite part of this holiday so far darlings?
Annick: seeing the sea turtles!
Luca: eating this ice cream right now.
