This weekend was mostly spent getting rid of dead or broken things in the garden and building an engine!
I was allowed to do most of the ‘fixing it together’ bits for the engine, whilst Dylan watched SpongeBob SquarePants (thank you, Dylan)! But he did help out when it came to the testing.
Son: When are you going to get that cracked ceiling fixed?
Mum: I don’t know – it’s not very important at the moment.
Son: It is important – the crack might get bigger and bigger and then the roof might fall down.
Mum: What are you, a builder?
Son: No, silly – I can’t be a builder until I’m an adult. THEN I’m going to be a builder.
Mum: Oh good, you can build me a nice big house, with some lovely big rooms, a shop and somewhere to have a kids club. Then I could work there, and you could be there, too!
Son: No I couldn’t! I’d have to build more houses somewhere else for my job… I could come over at break time though.
Mum: Ah yes, of course – you’ll be all grown up and going to work.
Son: What if I come over in my break and you’re out, so the house is closed and I can’t get in?
Mum: You could have a key, so you can come and go as you want. Can you build me a swimming pool too? That would be nice.
Son: Well, I don’t think that would be a good idea. What if all the children came running out to go to the swimming pool and flattened me, rolled me out like a piece of paper, until all that was left was my hard hat?
Mum: I hadn’t thought of that.
