Muffins

Mummy baked some muffins.  Chocolate flavoured ones. Cinammon / orange flavoured ones. Orange flavoured ones.

Sammy and Pia were having some:

Mummy: Sammy, do you like the muffins?

Sammy: Yes! I love them. So yummy!

A few minutes later:

Mummy: Sammy, do you want some more muffins?

Sammy: I don’t like it anymore. I think I’m going to vomit.

Handbag

Daddy was having dinner (he eats dinner alone on weeknights because everyone has already eaten by the time he comes home from work)

Pia: Daddy, look at my handbag.  It’s got everything I need: my sunglasses, my pen, my notebook, my vulture…

The Stoyr Wirter

Pia loves horses.  She also loves to write stories. But her spelling needs improvement.

She drafted a story with the interesting title:

 

The Hores Who Ran Away from the Big Bad Wolf

Faith, Hope, and Charity 2

The 3 theological virtues are: faith, hope, charity (or love).  The children were finding the 3 words strange-sounding while they tried to memorise them:

Daddy: Pia, what are the 3 theological virtues?

Pia: (thinking)… hate … hope … charity?

Faith, Hope, and Charity

The children were learning about the 3 theological virtues: faith, hope, and charity.  Three strange words. The children were struggling to remember them:

Daddy: Sammy, what are the 3 theological virtues?

Sammy: Fake… hope… charity

There’s the Rub

The children were playing with a toy yacht construction set.  It had hundreds of small plastic parts which interconnect. 

Sammy built a 15-inch long stick which bends when you wave it.

Sammy: (waving his wand) Daddy! Mummy! Look! It’s like rubber…

(Then he noticed that it wasn’t bending at all).

Sammy: … but it doesn’t do much rubbing

Moon

Mummy and the kids were walking to the nearby playground. 

It was about 4pm, but the moon was visible.  Sammy noticed the moon was shaped like a crescent:

Sammy: Look!  Someone cut the moon!
