Out Of The Mouths Of Babes

MY wIfE Christine, 5 ft 6 in in her stocking feet, decided to treat herself to a new winter coat and opted for a maxi. All of the family got together for a meal at a restaurant and, as we walked in, my wife noticed our youngest granddaughter

Macey, aged seven, taking an unusual interest in her. ‘Do you like my new coat, Macey?’ my wife asked. Macey, looking her up and down, replied: ‘I think it was meant for someone taller.’
