Walking on the street…
Queen E: I hope no one sees us…
Me: <worriedly> Why? I took out a nice change of clothes, you’re dressed quite nicely –
Queen E: But you’re not, Mum-may.
Me: Next time, remind me not to feed or walk you so I have more time to put together a better look.
Queen E: <same expression, without skipping a beat> You look nice, Mum-may.

Handing me a trading card…
Rockstar: Here, Mum. You can keep it.
Queen E: Wait wait lemmeseeitlemmeseeitlemmeseeit – <cheerfully> ok it’s not shiny, you can have it.
(5 mins later Her Highness gives me her own shiny card, also from Rockstar.)

Overheard on the playground…
Queen E: Hey! Don’t throw things at my brother! <stamps foot for emphasis> He’s my brudda!!
Me (to Rockstar): Hear that darling? (Rockstar doesn’t react.) Isn’t that nice –
Queen E: (still yelling) I. Want to throw things at my. Brudda!!

One fine day…
Queen E: Mummy, why do we need the sky?
Me: Erm… Erm… That’s where the clouds are, we need them for rain, we need a place for birds to fly…
Rockstar: <face palms> Without sky there would be no atmosphere. Then all living things would die. Become extinct –
Queen E: <shakes head> No, no, you’re (both) wrong. <authoritatively> You need the sky for rainbows <beams>
Miss Rockstar is smiling so contently in her sleep or is she pretending to be asleep? She is a smooooootttthhhhh… I like her answer that sky is for rainbows! Has she watched the whole Frozen movie yet? I can imagine her singing and dancing to all the songs.
She’s totally posing for a picture – her pose is titled “Asleep” 😀 She watched the whole movie quite some months ago on the plane when we were travelling; both kids generally don’t watch a lot of movies though, they watch much shorter Youtubes. Mostly, they require a lot more interaction than being able to stick them in front of a tv… which i both like but find very exhausting
