Right, I\u2019ve had little scrawled notes on my desk for a very long time now, so I\u2019ll assemble them into a little tasting tray of madness. Let\u2019s see how far we get.<\/p>\n
\u201dMummy, I just saw a bird in the sky!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201dOK".\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was doing an experiment! A bird experiment!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? What\u2019s a bird experiment, Zach?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it looked like he fell out of the sky, but he was doing an experiment! He flapped, but then he stopped flapping, but then he was soaring, but then he started flapping again to start going again!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n
Samantha (although weaned now) has decided that the milk-giving mounds are called \u2018bosuns\u2019. Granny was teasing her about that word when Zach piped up and declared that \u201cGranny doesn\u2019t have bosuns. Her has pimples<\/em>.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201dGood lord, she\u2019s being an unpleasant little cow,\u201d Sarah fumed. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t know better, I\u2019d swear she was having an unpleasant period.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201dNow, Mummy, you need to open your legs.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cWhy is that, Doctor Zachary?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI need to get a poo sample from you. I\u2019m a poo doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n Transporting the cat to the vet is a deeply unpleasant experience for all concerned. He scratches and yowls and bangs and thumps and carries on like you would not believe. Unless you have cats, I suppose, in which case you would believe it all too well. This is all compounded by the cage we have for him; the door comes off if you give it any sort of light pressure. The last time I drove home with him, he speared me in the back of the neck from the back seat, which just about led to an insurance claim. <\/p>\n Anyway, after one too many swipes at my arm, I told him that on the way home from the vet\u2019s, he was going to travel in the boot. Samantha, it would appear, is a true Kiwi chick. She grinned at me and said \u201cin the boot, ay? In the boot. Naughty Thrall.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201dDaddy, you\u2019re driving badly. You shouldn\u2019t crash into the other racers. That\u2019s naughty. The police<\/em> will come and get you.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think they have police on racetracks, Zach.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes they do. The racing<\/em> police.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Right, I\u2019ve had little scrawled notes on my desk for a very long time now, so I\u2019ll assemble them into a little tasting tray of madness.
