    oh oh Amber best story I can think of little kids would have to be the one about my sister!!

    In the states we have a brand of lighters called bic and there was an advert on telly that ran for years and stated coffe tea or a flick of my bic. well......

    my little sis was prob about 6 or 7 at the time, maybe slightly older and we were in a cafe one day and she was forever muttering stuff about anything. Anyway the waitress came over to take our order and my sister at the top of her voice and smiled sweetly and matter of factly stated, "yes please, coffee, tea or a flick of my !!!!!!" the whole place went suddenly very quiet and then errupted in laughter and she has to this day NEVER lived it down!!

    I work with kids so have a fair few laugh out loud moments.

    One was little lad J had been telling me all about how he had a camper van (or a tent - a little hard to get the details when they are 3!) and he was going camping at half term. Little C comes up with his face tripping him and says sadly "I'm not going camping". "Oh never mind, C" sez I, "maybe you can go camping another time". "No" (shakes head) "I'm only going to Mauritius."

    Well when you are 3, camping is probably way more exciting.

    Then there was when little girl J told me that she had taken flowers to her nanny. "That's nice, J". "Yes, nanny was in a box, and we put them on the box." "Er......anyone else got anything to tell me?"

    Misheard lyrics : DH was convinced Whitney Houston was singing "Climb every Mormon" (I'm every woman) and I wondered why someone was singing "Should I give up, or should I keep on chasing penguins" (probably makes as much sense, come to think of it).

    Amber my oldest DD comes away with stuff all the time but its mostly sarcasm. How can a 3 year old be sarcastic?

    Oooh do you have the recipe to hand? My last batch of macaroons (well my first and only) ended up like erm gloop!!

    My teammate at work keeps publicising my beauty skills at work so I think I will need to get some price lists done up, and business cards. And a little website, linked to a FB page. Should do for now :)
