Out Of The Mouths Of Babes

i LAugHed at the anecdote about the five-year-old telling the 56-year-old midday supervisor that she was older than the dinosaurs. it reminded me of when my daughter, Samantha, was in reception class. Mrs Truswell had been telling the pupils all about when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Young colin was looking concerned, but his older brother John stepped in to reassure him: ‘don’t worry — that happened years ago, when Miss was a little girl.’
