Out of the mouths of babes

My GrAnDSOn, aged six, stayed overnight as we were going to the theatre in london the next day. in the morning, i asked what he would like for breakfast. he replied: ‘i normally have toast and hummus.’ ‘Oh,’ i said, ‘nanny doesn’t have any hummus.’ ‘OK then, i will have toast and Marmite.’ ‘Oh dear, nanny doesn’t have any Marmite either.’ ‘OK then, just toast please.’ When i brought the toast, he asked: ‘What took you so long?’
