Last night went to the shops to get crackers with matthew. He spied some plastic toys...those types with paper cupboard backing, very old style. One of the toys is a police kit, complete with mini handcuffs, baton guns the usual. He said " Mummy, i want this toy so I can lock ah mei up.".

Hmm... devious thoughts for a 4yr old tot. "why?"..." Bcos ah mei always so naughty lor".. hmm...So what happens if I buy for ah mei also? then she also lock you up. "Then I will destroy the toy." Matthew said matter of factly.

These moments of enlightenment with 2 tots... I never pen them down fast enough.

Same evening... "Look mummy"..pointing to the sky. " The aeroplane is going to bang the star". ..:-) So I (aka Mummy) looked up and try my best to express anticipation that we may be witnessing an impending disaster - of a airplane clashing into a star. As the plane's blinking lights flew past the stars...we both sigh a hugh sigh of relief.

I need to explain that to him one day.
