Notes from a seven year old....

I did get a bit of a chuckle recently. 

As I lay in bed on my assigned 'lie-in' weekend morning (until 8am sometimes if I'm lucky...), Tamsin entered the room and passed me 5 little notes. She was upset with Daddy and was hoping Mummy would come to her rescue.



Transcript with amended spellings:

'Daddy is crazy' said Tamsin. 'He made me eat ketchup sandwiches'.
'I hate ketchup sandwiches' said Tamsin. 'I love you' said Tamsin. (i.e. she loves mummy).
'Come downstairs' said Tamsin. 'Now!'
'He even made me swear' said Tamsin.
'No sweets now' said daddy.

I have to admit I wasn't very good at backing Daddy up on this particular occasion, even though Tamsin's story wasn't exactly the whole truth.... it was just the way she had turned it into a little play which made me laugh!

Linking back to Actually Mummy's Wot So Funee?

  1. oh what a clever girl, her notes made me smile. I'd have to back her though, ketchup sandwiches...yuk I'd probably swear at Daddy too :-)

    1. Yep. Lie-ins, punctuated by screams and tears are 'de rigeur' round here :)

    1. Oh yes, the notes are to be preserved :) they were bacon originally I believe, but bacon had been eaten alone!!!

  4. I don't get lie-ins not without first, making bottles, changing nappies instructing daddy then hiding under pillow again - he doesn't understand how this doesn't count.
    Great notes although I wouldn't be supporting daddy on my morning either ;) xx

    1. oh yes, have done the old head under pillow bit before now - and the I graduated to earplugs! Nothing works when they're old enough to open the door themselves though and daddy doesn't barricade the way upstairs...!!
