Thoughts from the Bus Stop

Writing to the Queen

Roxie (7): Where does the Queen live? I want to send her a letter.
Me (37): Well, if you put 'Buckingham Palace, London', I'm sure she'll get it. What do you want to ask her?
Roxie: I don't know. I just want to be on the news.

The Miracle Of (My) Birth

During a conversation about the miracle of birth with the offspring of Joe Mattinson and Rachel Smith, I mentioned that when I was born, the doctors had to cut into my mummy's tummy to take me out:

Isabel (8): 'That's disgusting!'
Roxanne (5): 'Is she dead then?'
