Nothing?

Sammy has discovered a useful psychological tool to force Daddy and Mummy to act.

Sammy: Daddy, Achie hit me.

Daddy: (reading) Uh-huh.

Sammy: So…, NOTHING?

Daddy: What?

Sammy: So you’re going to do NOTHING?

Another day.  Sammy had a painful tummy.  Daddy couldn’t do anything except wait for it to pass.

Sammy: So, NOTHING?

Daddy: What?

Sammy: My tummy is painful. So, you will do NOTHING?  You’ll just let me die?

How to Build a Bridge

The children were watching ‘The Librarians’.  In one scene, the heroes came across an old wooden bridge spanning a wide river, near a waterfall.

Domu: How did people build a bridge across that river?

Sammy: (serious) I know, first they build the bridge.  Then when the bridge if finished, they build the waterfall.
