I said goodnight to 4 and when I left the room I heard her say to her teddies “mummy better not give me the wrong cereal bowl tomorrow”. I have no idea what the wrong cereal bowl is and now I fear for my life.

Have a preteen, so you can ask “did you remember deodorant?” Every day , only to be met with an indignant “I don’t stink!!!” as they stomp their stinky selves to the bathroom and put on deodorant .
