How to be brought down to earth-by an almost 5 yr old
We were down with M’s sister and family yesterday and just before we left, after I had said goodbye with his niece D, I was jokingly showing her the fancy walks I said she must practise for her Flower-girls Duties of walking up the aisle.
You know those kind of walks, the sticking out the bum whilst flouncing, looking side to side… the exaggerated sticking the legs out in front of each other whilst wiggling the hands, - those kind of walks.
After watching me making a fool of myself in the sitting room while she had been colouring happily, she looked at me disdainfully and said……..
“Just go….”
So I did.
Talk about perfect comedy timing!

Hah! My daughter does that to me all the time. Hilarious. Like the time I was singing her to sleep when she was about 3 and she looked up at me and said…’Mummy….’ ‘Yes, pet’ I said…’Mummy..’ she said ‘…stop singing’. You wouldn’t want to be sensitive!
