Havi-ism's

A conversation while watching Elmo talk about dinosaurs...

Havi: "Mummy, my favourite dinsoaurs are the flying ones, the T-rex and the leaf eating ones. Which are your favourite?"

Me: "Erm, I like the triceratops (only name I could think of)"

Havi: "Ohhh, pretty. I like that one too. Did you know the baby dinosaurs didn't die yet, they're not bones? They're nice dinosaurs."

Me: "No, I think they all died."

Havi: "Well, no, they didn't. And they're friendly."

Well... OK then.

While lounging on the sofa with strep throat...

Havi: "Yes, wahoo." (Throwing her fist in the air watching TV)

Me: "Wahooo."

Havi: "Ooops, I forgot to be quiet and resty because I'm sick."

Me: "That's OK, you can still move and speak, but we're just gonna chill out and get better today."

Havi: "Well, I'll just be quiet and get better then."

Pointing at a picture of Hawaii...

Havi: "That's Hawaii."

Me: "You're right, how did you know?"

Havi: "Because I have a smart remember."

Me: "Oh, you have a good memory?"

Havi: "Yes, you know my grandpa used to live in Hawaii?"

Me: "Oh really?"

Havi: "Yeah, because he went there because there is no swimming in England."

Well, now you know!

Good to know. Next time I'm there I won't bother packing a bathing suit.
