Zebras

D: They’re all zebras – that’s a pattern.

Me: Why are they all on top of one another?

D: They’re not! They’re just lined up. Do you know why that one’s a bit further back? ‘Cause he’s a bit slow.

Pet dog – Nov 2012

D: It’s my pet dog – not a Pillow Pet – just a pet. Amy the adult at Vikki’s drew the face and I drew the rest of it. They’re patches on it’s body.

Me: Is it lying down or running?

D: It’s standing up – with its legs.

personalspaceD: Hippos are dangerous – we learned it in school today. Some people think they’re – y’know – kind. BUT if you go onto their piece of land, they will ATTACK you! And they eat humans. Did you know that?

Me: You’d better not go onto their piece of land then.

D: No, or they will ATTACK! And gobble me all up.

Sounds from the wilderness

soundsfromD: On my way back from school I saw a wild cat – when I looked at it, it looked at me and Sophie and it went “hhheh!” [makes an angry cat face]

Me: And what did you do?

D: I looked at it again and it went “hhheh!” again.

Me: What do you think it was trying to say?

D: It was trying to say “I want to pull your hair out!”
