Out of the mouths of babes

-

MANY years ago, my daughter and son, aged four and two respective­ly, were playing on their new seesaw, singing:

‘ See Saw, Margery Daw, Johnny will have a new master. He shall earn but a penny a day Because he can’t work any faster.’

My daughter said to her younger brother: ‘ You be Johnny, I’ll be Kozy.’

We asked her what she meant, and she replied: ‘Kozy [’cause he] can’t work any faster.’

Mrs J. Hinton, Bedford.
