Grandson to Eldest Granddaughter [his sister]: What's that you're making out of Duplo?
Eldest Granddaughter: It's my seagull.
Grandson: I thought it could be a big barrier for my level crossing.
Eldest Granddaughter: No, it has to be a seagull, sorry.
Grandson: But it could be a barrier.
Eldest Granddaughter: I'm afraid it just IS my seagull. [Makes seagull noises.]
Grandson [as if struck by a sudden bright idea]: Maybe you could go and play with your dollies now!
Eldest Granddaughter: Not now, thanks.

Great response! :)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully polite they are to each other, and how imaginative to be able to make a Lego Duplo bird. There's no comparison with a barrier for a level crossing!
ReplyDeletePolite yet firm. She will go far.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! They both have calm levels of persistence which will serve them well!
ReplyDeleteThey aren't always this polite!
