Beyoncé kills Sasha Fierce!

5 Mar

Her third solo album ‘I am…. Sasha Fierce’ introduced her dynamic alter ego to the world, metallic glove and all, but now that her world tour is over, Beyoncé has announced, "Sasha is done. I killed her."

The ‘I am Sasha Fierce’ tour played over 100 dates across six continents since kicking off in March 2009 and now Beyoncé has announced she will be taking a much-needed break.

Among the things Beyoncé plans to accomplish on her holiday from performing include learning “to paint and cook – and to do Broadway shows and museums. And learn just to be at home and just watch television.”

But the real question on everyone’s lips is whether Beyoncé is planning to have a mini-diva with her husband of two years, rapper Jay-Z. The ‘Single Ladies’ singer herself says, “When it happens, it happens. I definitely want a family... I'm too close to my mother. I have the best mother, you know. I can only hope the relationship I have with my mother, I can have with my kids whenever I decide to have them.”

Over the Teacups

My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?

I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone

Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry

My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
