Mum: Ah – you’re new teacher will be Mr T.
Boy: Yes! I’m going to be in Newts.
Mum: Are you happy about that?
Boy: Yes, he’s the only boy teacher and he let me make cookies!
Mum: You did cooking at school with the Year 2s? Did everyone do cooking?
Boy: No! Year 2s were visiting THEIR new teachers, and Mr T gave us all two jobs to do when we went to visit him.
Mum: Ah! And what were your jobs?
Boy: Making cookies and writing.
Mum: I see. What did you write?
Boy: I writed “Where is the newt’s head?” Because there was a picture of a newt and it looked like it didn’t have a head, but then I saw it head WAS there, because I could see its eyes. Mr T said he thought it was a brilliant sentence though.

Boy: I had a dream last night – it was half BFG, half school. One of the bad giants visits Stony Stratford – he sees our school and and he says, “I’ve been looking for that school!”
He sees us playing in the bottom playground – year 1 and year 2 – and he guzzles up all of the children up. I’m sad because he’s eaten up all of my friends and who am I going to play with?
My friend Lucy is hiding and sewing bird feathers. I ask her if she can change me into a bird; giants don’t like birds – they make them itch ALL day! I go flying above the giant and the feathers drop off onto him and make him start sneezing. As he sneezes, all of the children he’s eaten explode out of him, through his fingernails. And it’s not even the end of break time, so we can carry on playing!

Son: Why does the tree look all purple?
Mum: I don’t know, is it blossom that’s starting to flower?
Son: No, it’s because I didn’t get enough sleep. I’ve got purple eyes.

Mum: What are you doing? Being a chicken?
Son: No, I’m trying to do that thing like in Tom and Jerry when Tom locks Jerry out and he come in because he finds a hole that’s just the right size. Sometimes when Tom’s very confused, and he sees Jerry there’s this thing that he normally does: His eyes stick out one time; and then they stick out some more to there [uses hands to demonstrate] and then to there; and then to there; and then to there! It’s REALLY funny.
And then he chases Jerry around the room and then Jerry does bad things to him – like one thing he did was stick a pin right through his head – it went right through his brain, but he was still alive!
And once, there were some baby mouses, with nappies on and the mouses get some milk and they suck it into their mouths and pretend they swallow it but they actually don’t – they just swallow air and then they spit the milk out at Tom!
Mum: Do you think it’s fair that they do all that to Tom?
Son: Yes I do, because Tom tries to catch them and it’s Tom and Jerry so it’s meant to be like that.

Son: Do boys have eyelashes?
Mum: [Putting on mascara] Yes, why?
Son: I didn’t think boys had them [looks in a mirror].
Mum: They do – it’s just that women make theirs look bigger by putting make up on them.
Son: Oh – it’s just the first time I’ve noticed mine.
Mum: Everyone has eyelashes – they keep the flies and dust out of our eyes. They’re like a pair of curtains or a blind on a window.
Son: Or like a shield in a battle.
Mum: Yes – or that.

D: Do fishes blink?
Me: No, I don’t think so. We blink to keep our eyeballs moist.
D: What’s ‘moist’?
Me: Not dry – we blink to stop out eyeballs drying out, and fish live in water, so they don’t need to stop their eyeballs drying out.
D: But water can STING if you get it in your eyes, and THEN you have to blink.
Me: Water doesn’t sting – it’s a bit nothingy on its own. The fish are used to having it in their eyes.
D: What about the BABY fish? They won’t be used to having it in their eyes. Do they just come out, blink a few times and then they’re used to it?
Me: No. I don’t think they’re built with eyelids. They just have their eyes wide open all the time because they don’t need to blink.
D: Oh.

D: You know when I had sleepy eyes in Crete? Well I know what they’re called now – Misha told me. They’re blood streams.
Me: Do you mean ‘blood shot’ eyes?
D: No, not ‘blood shot’, ‘blood STREAMS’! When you’re really tired they come in your eyes to let you know that you’re really sleepy. Do you know why they’re called blood streams?
Me: Why?
D: Because they’re made out of blood and they look like little streams, so they’re called blood streams.
