Drunk with rage

oy four-year-old went to a new friend’s house. When she came home she told me she had tried beer. A little horrified, I asked her more and she said it was brown and fizzy and she had a whole glass. However, I soon calmed down after talking to the friend’s mother and finding out they had ginger beer!

Egg on your face

I was frying an egg for oiss Three and she wanted me to flip it. “Would you like me to break the yolk too?” I asked. “No, thanks, you can keep it fixed?” she said. Very cute.

Teacup of the week

oy husband and I went to an open home where everyone had to leave their shoes at the door. After having a look, I started to leave and thought my husband was with me.

I walked out and bent to put my shoes on and said, thinking it was my husband putting his shoes on next to me, “Those aren’t your shoes.” He said nothing, then I said, “Did you hear me? Take them off!” Then a voice said, “They are my shoes!” Looking up, I saw it was a stranger – my husband was still inside!
