I promised you yesterday a bit of Friday relief. Well, the following exchange took place when my wife was driving home the other day having taken our children to their swimming class. Jimmy was sitting in quiet reflection in the back seat when she suddenly piped up with this classic.
" Mummy, if I don't eat meat I'll turn brown won't I? "
" Why on earth do you think that Jimmy? "
" Well, my best friend Tanita is brown and she doesn't eat meat. "
" No, Jimmy. Tanita is brown because her Mummy and Daddy came from India. "
...there followed another reflective pause, before...
" Hmmm. Is India a long way away? "
" Yes, Jimmy. It's miles and miles away, across the ocean. "
" Tanita's never late for school though is she Mummy? "
