"Hello man, yes man. I'm going to Zumba, man. I'm going shopping. Hello Gran, I'm going to Zumba, see you later. Bye. I love you. Hello Gran. I'm going shopping - you want some milk?

- Thumper, whenever she's not getting her own way.

"Good night. I love you. I hope you sleep well bum bum apple mum [or dad]."
- Thumper saying goodnight to me [or DeepSpice]... this has been standard, every night for the past few weeks.
