Special things

Published by Jim Cromwell.

Rosie: "Do trams come along here?"
Mummy: "Not along here, darling, no."
Rosie: "But I saw shiny lines on the road."
Mummy: "Well, that is where they have fixed the road and left some lines, but they are not tram lines."
Daddy: "Tram lines are very special, you do not see them in many places. Only places where, er, special things happen."

...

Rosie: "Do Special Things happen in Croydon?"

Note from Daddy

Published Monday, December 26, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

I just went up the stairs and both kids were stark naked at the top, and when their business-ends were at eye level they both farted at me...!

I can't imagine who teaches them this sort of behaviour.

... and you shall know us by the trail of the dead

Mad For It

Speed vs Technique

Published Sunday, December 25, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

Scene: Rosie is sitting on the loo. Daddy is perched on the bath with a loaded heffalump toothbrush. Holly is on her bed with a sticker book.

Rosie: "I can run much faster than Holly!"
Daddy: "I don't think you can. I think Holly can run faster than you because she takes more risks. But that means she falls over more."

Offstage: "Yes! And when I run that fast, that's when I put on my MAD FACE!"

Daddy's Birthday

Published Thursday, December 22, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

It's Daddy's birthday! He forgot, until Rosie wandered in for a chat.

"What are you doing today lovey...?"
"Well... We aren't doing anything really. Except. We are doing one thing."
"What's that?"
"It's your birthday!"

And then later, Holly gave Daddy an enormous squeeze:

"I love you Daddy. You make me happy. You always make me smile. And I am sad when you are not there..."

Father Christmas

Published Monday, December 19, 2005 by Jim Cromwell.

We went to Painshill Park today to find Santa Claus in his grotto. We had our own little torches and followed the signs to the wishing tent and then to the grotto. We were very certain when we told him we wanted Barbies, despite evidence from the contrary on our Christmas lists....!

Holly's First Joke

Published by Jim Cromwell.

Holly told her first joke to us today.

"Why did the chewing gum cross the road?"
"I don't know. Why did the chewing gum cross the road?"
"Because it was stuck to a chicken!"

(Aches with laughter.)

And then,

"Why did the pepper cross the road? Because it was a chicken!"
"Why did the Santa cross the chicken? Because it was a road!"
"Why did the road cross the chewing gum? Because it was stuck to Santa!"

And so on. Endlessly...!
