My son has now been saying em-oh-gee whenever something blows his mind (it’s at least a daily event when you’re a kid) and I’ve just figured out it’s because he’s got OMG a little mixed up.

#TMCAMTD – The Last Boss
My Son had a buddy over for a playdate after school and I listened in on them and my daughter (the youngest of the 3) role-playing something…
Son’s Friend: …okay okay, if you’re the boss I wanna be the second boss.
Son: Okay. So I’m the boss and you’re the second boss.
Daughter: Yeah, okay, and if you’re the boss and he’s second boss, I wanna be the LAST boss.
Son & Friend: …Okay.
A Monster with Broccoli Horns
The London Loop gallery is up all over London at the moment and I thought I’d do a little submission, yunno, something silly to brighten up your day if you happen to spot it at a bus stop. It was originally a #TMCAMTD idea but it deserved an inky upgrade from the crayon doodle…You can vote for it here
#TMCAMTD – Jumping Antelope
We have been talking about animals that can jump for the past 5 minutes…
Me: …And Antelopes! They’re excellent at running and jumping.
Daughter: The lovely beautiful ones Daddy? They have horns?
Me: Yes! (She loves them! How sweet!) They would jump SO high if they were here now, they’d be SO happy to see you!
Daughter: …Oh no Daddy. The horns would spike (Gestures with fingers upwards and shouts BANG!) the ceiling.
#TMCAMTD – Make & Something
Me: What game should we play?
Daughter: Let’s play Mummies and Daddies!
Me: I AM a Daddy, that’s not a game for me really, it’s just real life… Why don’t we play…MAKING SOMETHING!
Daughter: (Really excited) YES! You be Make and I’ll be Something.
#TMCAMTD – 6 is my Favourite Number
Me: What’s your favourite number?
Son: Hmmm…6.
Me: Why’s that? Why not, I don’t know…4?
Son: Daddy, if you said I could have 4 milkshakes or 6 milkshakes then I would have 6. So 6 is better.
#TMCAMTD – Swimming Hat
Me: …so you’ll need to make sure you wear your swimming hat buddy.
Son: Okay.
(He looks at me and my wife. He is thinking. Obviously.)
Son: Is it a humungous giant hat? Like a Mr Wonka Hat daddy?
Me: Er, no, professional swimmers stopped wearing those a while back.
#TMCAMTD – A Bald Egg
Me: Oooh, I think I might have a BOILED egg for breakfast.
(Son looks at me very puzzled)
Me: What is it?
Son: Well you can’t eat a HAIRY egg Daddy. That would be disgusting.
Me:Wha…? HA! Very good…Bald, boiled…very good.
(Son looks very pleased with himself)
#TMCAMTD – Moo is the only Word a Cow can say
We had been discussing the special abilities of different animals…
Me: You’re a human being. Your special skill lies in how smart you are. You are smarter than all of the other animals in the world.
Son: Yes. Yes I am (He is very pleased with himself). Cows are not smart. ‘Moo’ is the only word they can say.
