Top Ender Giggles - How to negotiate

"I've got a great idea Mummy!"
"Yeah?"
"Every week when Dad is at work we should eat pasta on one night and take out on the other!"
"That could work out expensive Top Ender"
"I don't mean every week, maybe every other week"
"Yeah?"
"Maybe once every three weeks?"
"Yeah?"
"Once a month?"
"Yeah?"
"Once every so often?"
"Yeah, that sounds about right Top Ender"

Top Ender Giggles - thinking ahead

"Mummy?"
"Top Ender?
"When you buy me school clothes for next year, buy them one size bigger than I need."
"Why Top Ender?"
"Because then I will be able to get out of them really easy when it is time for PE!"

Top Ender Giggles - Fred and Ginger

For some reason I have another nickname for Top Ender of Fred. I normally use this when we are out and about as a sort of safety measure. I know that if anybody went up to Top Ender and said Come with me Fred that she would run in the opposite direction!

"Mum? Why do you call me Fred?"
"It is just a nickname, and a sort of safety device. No one can steal you away if they don't know your real name."
"But why Fred?"
"I have no idea!"
"I want to be called Ginger."
"Ginger? What made you choose Ginger?" I queried knowing that in my mind Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers were intricately linked.
"No reason, I just like it."

Top Ender Giggles - Think it through!

Yesterday we went to an Airshow. As we came off the main road to join the queue into the airfield we began to see some of the aircraft arriving for the show later that day. We all sat in the car watching the planes in the holding pattern waiting to land before Top Ender spoke;

"I guess there must be an Airshow nearby."
"Top Ender, where are we going today?" Asked Daddy
"Erm...An Airshow! I forgot!"

Top Enders Friends Giggles - I couldn't be a teacher!

There was another laugh out loud moment last week when I was in Top Enders Class talking to them about Baby Boy;

"Are there any questions?" said Teacher One

A few hands were raised, arms stretched waving about trying to be picked

"Yes, sandy haired girl"
"Ummm"
"Yes?"
"Ummm"
"Do you need some more time to think of a question?"
"Yes"
"Okay class, try to remember to think of a question before raising your hand, anyone else have a question?"

All hands remained firmly in laps.

Top Ender Giggles - You don't really Mummy!

Yesterday Top Ender, Baby Boy and I went to Granny's to wish her a Happy Birthday.

"You didn't get me a card with 50 on did you Top Ender? Everyone has been giving me those and I'm not really that old!" Said Granny
"Hmm" said Top Ender
"How old do you think I look?" said Granny
"50" said Top Ender
"Remind me not to talk to you again Top Ender" said Granny

Top Enders Friends Giggles - Not just mine then

The day before yesterday during the Question time the following happened

"Please raise your hand if you have a sensible question" said Teacher One
A group of children raised their hands Top Ender being the fastest.
"Yes, Top Ender?" said Teacher One
"When are the Babies birthdays? I know my brothers birthday, but when are the others?"
"That is a sensible question! When is your brothers birthday?"
"Just after Mummy's!"
"That's right Top Ender, Baby Boys Birthday is two weeks after my Birthday on the 15th May."
The other two Mum answered when their babies birthdays were and the children raised their hands again
"Yes, Little Blonde girl?"
"My rabbits birthday is October 15th!" said Little Blonde Girl
"Not really a sensible question, or indeed a question at all is it?" said Teacher One
