Conversation, in a car, with a 4 year old

"Mummy remember when we played with the racing cars at Grannie Joan's?"
"Yes, Seamus"
"Do you remember that I went around and kept crashing off the track?"
"Yes, I do. You went so fast"
"Teddy was great, he always beat me through the narrow bit"
"He did."
"but then I just did it and went around about 500 times and you laughed, and then Garry laughed, and then Teddy laughed and then Grannie Joan laughed and Grandad Tom laughed, because you couldn't believe it!" "It was so funny"
"It was brilliant Seamus"

a little bit later.....

"Seamus there are christmas trees in Whalley"
"Can we see them?"
"Yes, but we're in Read now, we'll have to wait a bit"
"Oh, Luca from school lives in Read"
"Does he?"
"Yes, he lives with his Mummy, his Daddy and his brothers. There are five people in his house!"
"There is?"
"Yes, that's so many people isn't it?"
"It is"
"Mummy if Garry marries you, then we'll all live together and we'll have lots of people in our house"
"Maybe Seamus"
"You'll have to get a pretty dress with sparkles on it and a thing that goes over your head and face"
"You mean a veil?"
"Yes, a veil. But we might not be able to find a dress because shops that sell those are so far away in maybe, erm, London or something. You'll have to wear one of your black dresses. "

Oh Seamus you're so brilliant. I love our little chats.
