Out of the mouths of babes

My SOn came home from school with a pain in his stomach. I told him to sit down and eat his tea, explaining that his tummy was probably empty and that he might feel better with something in it. Later that evening, my husband came home with a headache. My son said: ‘It’s because it’s empty. you’d be all right if you had something in it.’ C. Pope, Newport, Isle of Wight.
