M2 is 5 years and 6 months old – his birthday is in June. At bedtime, on the 25th of December, all the presents unwrapped and played with, this conversation transpired….
M2 : Is it Christmas?
Me : Yes, it’s still Christmas for a few more hours. Then it’s Boxing Day
M2 : (after a pause) Is it June?
Then, a few days later, M1 is looking at his new Chemistry Set. M2 arrives…
M2 : (looks at the Chemistry Set)
M2 : (looks at me)
M2 : I’ve played with all my toys.
Me : That doesn’t mean you get to play with your brother’s.
Nice to see him mastering the art of subtlety.
