OutOfThe MouthsOfBabes

WhiLe out walking and talking with my fiveyearold granddaughter on the cliffs near home, i said: ‘Nanny wants you to remember — be a good girl and always try to do all the things Mum and Dad have told you.’

‘Oh!’ she said, ‘is that all? i thought you were going to tell me to always eat my broccoli.’ She is 21 now and still doesn’t eat her broccoli.
