Outofthe mouths of babes

Julia’S grandma wore long silky knickers down to her knees, which she called her ‘drawers’. Julia, who was under three years old at the time, decided to adopt the saying, much to her mother’s horror. ‘i don’t want you saying “drawers” any more, Julia — you wear pants,’ her mum said. a few days later, some new furniture was delivered, and Julia declared: ‘Oh, i do like your chest of pants.’
