Driving to Bury St Edmunds today the youngest proudly piped up from the back seat: “I can do math Mummy!”
Me: “Marvellous Darling! You are clever.
Bog Boy: “Go on Mummy, tell me a question!”
Me: “Oh! Alright. Well, erm, if you have one apple and I give you one more how any apples will you have?”
Bog Boy with some thought: “Two apples! Now Mummy can I tell you a question…?”
Me: “Go on then..”
Bog Boy: “If you had eleventeen apples…..”
Me: waiting expectantly for the next bit and wondering just how much elventeen is…“Yes, Darling?”
Bog Boy curiously: “…would you be able to eat them all?”
