Harry (seeing the news on again): Mummy, can I watch CBeebies (children’s television)? I don’t want to watch the news. It’s boring. Only grown-ups like the news.”

Me: It’s Daddy’s birthday soon. What do you think Daddy would like for his birthday?
Harry, the wise three year old: Well, Mummy, not Thomas (the Tank Engine).
Me: Oh, why not Thomas?
Harry: Because he’s not a little boy. *Shaking his head at me like I’m really stupid*
Me: Oh, so what do you think he would like?
Harry: I’m going to get him something to do with the news.
I bet Matthew can’t wait.
