Surprise!
March 10, 2013
D: I’ve got something in my book bag that’s a surprise for Mother’s Day on Sunday – so you have NOT got to look in it until I’ve got it out and put it upstairs.
Me: OK.
[Comes into kitchen with a piece of paper in both hands]
D: You can see THIS picture I did – it’s a picture of a blue whale for you.
[D hands me the picture and exits the kitchen]
Me: Great – thanks.
D: You didn’t see the card I had in my other hand, did you?
Me: No.
D: Good. I’m going to hide it in my bedroom.
[Goes upstairs]…
[Comes back downstairs]
D: You know my story CDs?
Me: Yes?
D: I’ve hidded the card with them – don’t look at it will you, when you put a story CD on tonight?
Me: OK – I won’t look.

…more balloons and presents
January 28, 2013
D: Go out of the kitchen, mum – I’m going to decorate your birthday cake all on my own – you’re NOT ALLOWED to see!
Me: OK.
…
[Quite a while later]
D: This is not good, mum – you’re not going to like it; I tipped the silver balls into the pot with the gold balls in it. Then I tipped them all into the empty pot, then back into the other pot, then back, then back, then back. Then some of the balls fell out – not all of them – and they went onto the floor and now I can’t find them.
Me: Have you decorated the cake yet?
D: No.
…
[Quite a while later]
D: There. That’s a piece of white string, with a chocolate chip balloon on top [left of centre], that’s a silver balloon with some gold string [centre, top], and they’re gold and silver presents [bottom].
Balloons and presents all around!

A smashing party
August 9, 2012
D: What’s Greek Night?
Me: It’s like a party and there will be greek music and greek dancing.
D: Awesome! I LOVE parties! Can we go?
Me: If you can stay awake until late – it doesn’t  start until 9.30.
D: I can, I CAN! What’s greek dancing?
Me: You’ll have to wait and see, it’s a special kind of dancing. Sometimes they even smash plates!
D: Why do they smash plates? – It’s naughty to break things.
Me: I don’t know, it’s just one of the things they do in a different country to celebrate. YOU shouldn’t do it.
D: Why?
Me: Because they’re adults and they buy the plates, so they’re allowed to smash them.
D: Do they break the ones we use for breakfast and tea?
Me: No – they use special ones.
D: …I don’t want to see the greek dancing, I think I’ll go to bed.
