Owwwwccchhhh......

Neet, the mother of Child Dawkins, has been back with more tales from the madhouse.

She's just given us a graphic description of The Eldest's first attempt at shaving. There are several bath towels that will never be the same again...

Child Dawkins trapped her in the car and asked about the Immaculate Conception. Apparently it's "just a phrase she's heard at school." She is trying to find out whether Mary actually wanted the Baby Jesus, or not. Bit harsh to give a baby to someone who doesn't want it, in her view. So God had better have a good explanation for that one.

Youngest is developing a wide vocabulary and a mischievous streak. He has started a campaign to liberate one of his nursery assistants from nappy changing duties. He's toddling round saying "Why's it your turn again? Why's it her turn again, Miss?. It's always her turn." Chanting this as a mantra, the little Botticelli cherub careers round the nursery causing uproar in the work force. Mostly hysterical laughter, but we could have a baby social reformer on our hands. His baby pictures will look lovely in the biography.
