Playtime in the Rockstar household…
Rockstar: Mum. Look, I’m totally teaching the Miss to make stuff with her playdoh. She’s pretty good, too!
Me: That’s great, whatcha working on?
Rockstar: Intestines!
Me: Uh… Why can’t you teach her something more… kid-ish.
Rockstar: <blinks> Like what?
Me: I don’t know, cute animals or the smiling sun on Teletubbies or something.
Rockstar: <like I’m the weird one> No. No, intestines. <firmly> See Miss, this is where the long ropes of intestines go, and then over them is your belly and the belly button…
(Miss giggles delightedly)
Me: You guys are gross.
Miss: Mummy. You don’t have belly?
Me: Yes I do.
Miss: <conversationally> Ko-ko have belly? Miss have belly?
Me: Everyone has a belly. It’s just whether it’s a big or small belly.
Miss: <nodding theatrically> Oh. I seee.
Me: And you. Half the time I don’t know if that’s sarcasm or what…
Almost sure this one is sarcasm. Almost.

On Bumps to Babes run recently…
Me: Go pick up your raisins, darling.
Miss: Noooooo.
Me: They’re over there, pick a few packets up and put them in our basket.
Miss: NOOOOOOO.
Me: ?? What? I thought you liked raisins.
Miss: <theatrically> They not ro-sins! Oh Noo! <tragic hand wringing> THEY. BUGS!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Which prompts me to take a closer look:
Packaging FAIL.
Hahaha, packaging failed. They should really test market their products with children before using such packaging.
I thought she really fell asleep while eating. So it was a fake sleep, was it?
Rockstar can’t help himself but teaches his sister those serious stuffs I guess but it is all good, she will grow up knowing a lot of facts.
No no she IS totally asleep, I’m the one being funny… I don’t think the stuff Rockstar teaches her will be very useful for awhile more, especially since he teaches her what he wants – so instead of alphabets (many of which she still appears not to be able to recognise – I’m not too fussed about that, Rockstar only really started that in earnest in K2) we are looking at building cubes and pyramids, stuff like that…
