BRIGHT SPARK

For his birthday, I gave my 4-year-old nephew, Lemuel, a battery-operated toy dog that barks. When it stopped working, I told him the batteries must be flat. He opened the back, took out the batteries and cried, “But they are still round!” MARIA AURORA WEAVER, CHRISTCHURCH, NZ.

CLOCK WATCHING

I took my grandson with me to visit my mother in hospital. A nurse came into the room to take Mum’s pulse. The nurse intentionally looked at her watch while holding my mother’s wrist. After the required time she made a note on Mum’s chart. Master Four looked at me and said: “It took her ages to tell the time!” The nurse laughed and said that he made her day!
