With all the unease and strong feelings over your side of the pond, I thought I'd share this little pice of joy.
I had an early appointment in town this morning, and my walk coincided with the kids going to school. Well a few yards ahead of me was a dad and his pre school little girl.
Their conversation went something like this:
Girl " Daddy, I do love you!"
Dad "I love you too poppet"
Girl "but I love you lots Daddy"
Dad" and I love you loads and Lots"
By this time the little girl was practically vibrating, this was obviously a game played often!
Girl "I bet I love you more than that!"
Dad"Well I love you bucketsful"
Girl "How many?"
Dad " At least five or six"
The little girl suddenly stopped in her tracks, looked up at her pop and with a voice full of disdain."pfft, well I don't love you that much"
I burst out laughing, Dad turned round and was biting his cheek trying his best not to join me. Then the little voice piped up "but I really mean it!"
I had a warm fuzzy feeling all the way into town.
