Rather Unexpected


I always knew that having a child in my life was going to be a lot of work.

What caught me completely off guard is how much joy she'd bring too. Now that mini Limey is 20 months, walking and talking she is a joy to behold.

Imagine my joy and pride the first time she echoed back such fine English words as 'bollocks' - a woes I use all too frequently. Another real surprise was quite how excited I'd feel when she could correctly identify the ownership of objects as 'mummies' and 'daddies'. I'll never forget the first time she brought my boxers into the lounge and presented them to her Granny with a flourish and a loud 'Daddies!'.

See above for a more socially acceptable example of 'Daddies Shooose'
