Annick, observing an overstimulated Luca running about after breakfast, musing, "perhaps we should have a calming exercise as part of our morning routine mama."
How Annick writes Mama and Papa as 'MAMA PBPB' or sometimes, 'BPBP'.
How Annick wrote an invitation to Doudou Mouton to come to her school picnic, and addressed it to 'DDOOO MTOOO'.
How Luca will have long, querying discussions with you about "what is technology? Is it like electricity? Are they the same? What can we do with technology? Is a jet plane technology?"
How after listening to a great Fierce Girls podcast about Nancy Wake, the WW1 spy, Luca sat himself at the table and drew a 'WANTED' sign for her, the White Mouse.
Luca, looking at his calendar: What is Palm Sunday?
Me: Er... I'll tell you the story of Easter next week.
Annick: I know the story of Easter already. It is about bunnies.
Me: Well, yes, there are two main stories of Easter, and one is about bunnies, the other is about Jesus.
Annick: What is a Jesus?
Luca: You know Captain Cook, Annick? He's already dead. He was a pirate who killed lots and lots of people. He found land but he was greedy and wanted it all for himself.
Annick, passing a vase sale at the kitchen shop: Mama, look at all those wine jars!
How Annick still writes everything in mirror writing, and when showing us how she can tell her left hand from her right by making an 'L' with her fingers, gets mixed up because she can't tell which L is the right way round.
How Annick's immediate response upon regarding an immense whole salmon brought home from the fishmonger is to ask "can I touch the eyeball?"
Mama: if you had a dog, what would you name it?
Annick: I would call it Snowpea!
Luca: I would call it Michael.
Mama: if you had a car, what colour would it be?
Annick: ooh! Golden rainbow sparkle PINK!
Mama: How was school photos today?
Annick: Good!
Mama: Did you take a photo together?
Luca: Yes. I tried dabbing but they wouldn't let me.
Annick, getting up mid-breakfast to go to the toilet as usual: "I need to go wee wee before my next CHOMP!"
Mama: What is the difference between being seven and being eight?
Luca: Well, the bad thing about being eight is you can't wear Hot Wheels t-shirts any more.
