Children speak

 At the beginning of Febuary we drove grandchildren home.

- What will you be doing at home? - I asked.
Felix thought a while and then answered:
- I will draw a birthday card for my Mum.
- Me too, me too - shouted Matilda - I will draw many, many cards for my Mum.
- Yes, we will make gigantic number of birthday cards - confirmed Felix.
- Felix, and can you write - Sarah? - asked Matilda.
- No - answered carelessly Felix.
- So what shall we write?
- We'll write - I love you - and instead of writing Sarah, we'll draw Mum's portrait.
- Yes! And I, instead of portrait, will draw a piglet.
- Yes, and I, instead of portrait, will draw a pirate ship! - announces Felix. Then, after a short considerations, he corrects - actually, I will draw crossed bones and a skull.
- Yes! We both will draw crossbones and skulls. Mum will be so happy!!
