It's only words...

This weekend, D correctly used the word "simpatico" in a piece of writing, while M told us that she knew what the word "dick" meant.
I couldn't be prouder of either of them...

Should be band...

Watching the Brits, we asked the girls what their band names would be.
D's was Midnight Daydream.
M's were Bad Blood, Unicorn Killer and Beaver Tail.

Reach for the stars

Went to M's class assembly yesterday, which culminated in a bunch of 7 and 8 year-olds  stating their ambitions...
"I want to be an actress." (M, obvs.)
"I want to be a footballer." (90% of the boys.)
"I want to be a scuba diver." 
Of course you do...

Prize comment

M, on learning about the Nobel Prize:
"Could I win one for inventing soft trousers?"

Sickly child

M, in some distress from earache...
"This is so painful, it's like being bitten by a crocodile! I'd rather eat tomatoes!"

Strictly Come Dancing - the analysis

D: "First they get rid of the old ones, then the overweight ones go, and that's when the real competition starts..."
M: "Janette Manrara!"

Waiting in the wings

M: "So far I've lived my life in the wings. But soon I'll be on the stage..."
