A while back the girls were playing with acorns in the backyard
This led me to tell them all about gumnuts, which are totally NOT like Aussie versions of acorns
I used to play with gumnuts as a kid and was mad about SNUGGLEPOT & CUDDLEPIE
I’ve told the girls all the Snugglepot & Cuddlepie stories I can remember
Now they are obsessed dying to get their hands on anything to do with S & C
So I’m totally going to BRIBE them
I’ve told them if they can be good for their Daddy until I get home, I will see if I can find a S & C book for them while I’m in Australia
I asked them this morning how they’ve been doing in the ‘good behaviour’ department
Miss 5: I cleaned the toy room and my bathroom AND my bedroom today mummy
Me: Wow – that’s fantastic. Looks like I’ll be getting you a Snugglepot & Cuddlepie book before I leave
Miss 5: AWESOME!
Talking to Miss 3
Me: So have you been good for Daddy?
Miss 3: Ummmmm
Me: Do you think I should get you a Snugglepot & Cuddlepie book?
Miss 3: Ummmmmm
Me: Sounds like maybe I shouldn’t
Miss: Well, maybe you should just get me a little book mummy
Translation:
“I’ve been a total arsehole!”
At least she’s honest…and obviously, like her Mum! 😉
