Hi. Welcome to my new blog. I've had one before, but never really had the inclination to keep it updated - it usually only got updated when my dad threatened me with horrific things liek washing up duties and no computer games. But I'm going to keep this one.
Last night, over tea, I was feeling a bit mischievous and decided to tease my little brother and sister. They were both tired from having a late night the night before, so they were prety much begging to be wound up. I take after my dad, and since he's a massive tease, so am I. To any normal person, it wouldn't affect them, but to some four and six-year-olds, telling them you're going to paint their entire room black in the middle of the night is perfect bait. Since they take me too seriously, my brother and sister tried to negotiate over how much of their room I would paint - they got a bargain of just one big stripe round it. Mostly, they don't believe I'll do it, but I know they'll check for one in the morning.
The other night, when I was helping them get ready for bed, my sister asked if she could wash her underarms herself (she gets ticklish when I do it). While I was washing her, she said,
"I want to whisper something to you." so I bent down so she could tell me and she said,
"Mummy says we're not allowed to say armpit." This got the three of us into a conversation over what I was allowed to say at school that they couldn't say. So the next morning while I was pretending to be asleep (a frequent habit of mine at my dad's house) and my dad was washing my brother, I heard him say,
"Daddy, Issy's allowed to say bum in her class and she said her teachers say it too." Dad didn't really say anything then.
