a 2 year olds conversation with her mother

1. picture this - mum has put me down for my lunch time sleep and she is currently at the other end of the house with zara, trying to settle her to sleep so she can have some time to

clean the house
do the dishes
hang out the washing
talk to the bank
lie on the couch and put her feet up

zara is crying and clearly not happy about being left in the cot..... and i start up on the

"mum!" "mum!" "MUM!" "MUMUMUMUMUMUMUM!" "MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!" as I progessively get louder and and screechier....

finally I can hear mum coming down the hallway, Zara is still crying in the background, but I have won this battle and mum is coming to me

"Katey.....? (puffed and out of breath) What is it?"

"Mum.... that leaf on the window is annoying me!"




2. Mum has removed the above offending leaf from the window, settled zara and is now in the kitchen doing the dishes. I am happy that the leaf has gone and contently lying in my bed looking out the window and the lovely blue london summer sky.......

"Mum"

from the kitchen "yes katey"

"I've been thinking"

coming in to the bedroom "you've been thinking? what have you been thinking about?"

"i've been thinking that the neighbours are very noisy!"

"the neighbours are noisy? why do you say that?"

bump bang stamp bong

"is that the neighbours?"

"yes dear"

"they are noisy!!"
