OutOfTheMouthsOfBabes

MY GRANDChILDReN, emma, nine, and Jack, six, had emptied the small change from their money boxes into three purses, ready to go Christmas shopping. After placing the purses in her bag and slipping the strap over her shoulder, emma remarked that they were rather heavy. Slightly concerned, Jack came up with a solution. ‘Next year, ask Father Christmas for a credit card,’ he said.
