Playing Two Little Dickie Birds with three year old Chantel, and “pecking off her nose” at the appropriate time, she tried to snatch it back, I teased her saying “You don’t want it do you?” to which she answered, “Course I do” again I teased her saying “Why, What do you want it for?” she replied “It’s mine and I need it?” Once more I teased “It’s no good, what do you need it for?” after a little thought she replied “To keep my snot in!”

Gemma aged ten.

Three year old Jake asked “Do you always have to put your head
down when you sneeze?”

Spotting men playing bowls in the park. Four year old Zoe jumped up and down with excitement and said. “Oooh look, they are playing snooker, I watch that on tele’ with my dad and granddad!”
