The Colourful Game...

Alisdair was excitedly running around before school trying to find some green clothes to wear as it was "Rider Pride" day at school. They were having a tailgate party for lunch (selling burgers and pop) and he was totally into it as he cheers for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on a regular basis.

"Green is the colour and football is the game..." he sang as he arrived in the bedroom, where Isobel was lying on the bed watching cartoons.

Immediately she began to sing, too -- and on key! Only Isobel had her own lyrics "Red is the colour and soccer is the game!"

That girl can sure think on her feet and keeps surprising me and making me laugh!

But Mum...

Isobel often provides insight into the mind of a child and how it works!

The other day she was wanting to know where her stamper from her McDonald's Happy Meal was. It was early morning and I was still running around the house in my nightgown.

Isobel asked where her stamper was and I assured her that it was safe, and that I could get it for her later. "It's in my pants," I said.

She looked at me, puzzled and said "But Mum ... you're not wearing pants!"

Now how do you explain that the stamper is in the pocket of my jeans that are down the hall in the bedroom...

Isobel makes me laugh like this on a regular basis!
