Channelling Dame Slap

Coversation over breakfast this morning...

BallFiend: "Thumper, if I have ten bananas and I take two bananas in my lunchbox to school how many bananas have I eaten?"

Thumper looks puzzled, as do I.

BallFiend: "...so I take two bananas to school every day for five days. So how many bananas do I have?"

Thumper: "ummm...."

Me: "Ten?"

BallFiend: "Yes."

Me: "what inspired you to ask Thumper that question?"

BallFiend: "I'm helping Thumper get ready for starting prep."

Harmonic dissonance

"Thumper, could you please sing something else!" pleaded BallFiend as Thumper began yet another medly of Frozen songs.

"Alright" Thumper responded, "like Party Rock Anthem?"

Kinder than you

We were in the kitchen, baking her birthday cake to take to Kindergarten tomorrow (I even let her lick the bowl) when Thumper came out with this...

"Mum when I'm a grown-up and I have my own child, I'm going to be kinder." said Thumper.
I was a bit confused. "Do you mean you're going to be kind to your child?"
"No! I'm going to be kinder."
"Kinder than what?" I asked, still puzzled.
"Kinder than you are to me."

Ouch.
