Simpler Times

My ten-year-old daughter: Can I go to my friend’s house?

Me: Take your phone and text me every 20 minutes to tell me you’re OK.

Me, when I was ten: I’m off to the abandoned quarry with my pals.

Mum: Dinner’s at five. @ JOEHEENAN

Me: You can make a wish on any star you like. Five year old: Which one is the Death Star? @XPLODINGUNICORN
