My son and I had some differences of opinion the other morning about whether AC/DC is acceptable breakfast music, whether undies really need to be worn under clothes, and whether the cat needs feeding EVERY day (No, yes, and yes, in case you weren’t sure).

Me: ‘Wow! I love the spider that you made at kindy today!’
Boy Child: *withering look* ‘Mum. It’s not a spider. It’s a banana with seven legs and one long nose’.
Of course it is. Silly me.
