The final solution

I was driving my grandchildren near a cemetery.

- Grandpa, they hide dead people in boxes and put them here - said Felix (6 years old).

- Yes, you are right.

- You are old grandpa, you will die soon.

- Yes, thanks for reminding me, I will book a place here tomorrow.

- But grandma is older than you.

- No, she is much younger than me.

- She is very, very, very old - confirmed Matilda (4 years old).

- She will die before you grandpa - announced Felix.

- You are wrong - I interrupt - I will die earlier.

- No grandpa, she will die earlier, but you will not marry anybody else! - stated Felix.

- Felix - she cannot die before me - who will cook us the soup? - I used the strongest argument.

- Yes Felix - Matilda was seriously alarmed - who will cook the soup?

- Grandpa, you will buy yourself baby food! - declared Felix triumphantly.

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!!

Woman's Eye

I read a book to 4 y.o. Matilda. It was about a girl who visited her uncle on a farm.

The uncle grabbed her in his arms..

- What are you going to do, unpack or go directly to see animals?

- I want to see animals uncle Frank..

I turned a page. There was a picture of the girl sitting on the back of a cow. I started to imitate noises of cows, sheep, ducks, but Matilda interrupted:

- Dziadzia (grandpa) ! She has different top, changed her shoes and headband!

- Yes, it is more convenient with animals.

- But Dziadzia! You said that she did not unpack her luggage?

My jaw dropped, my credibility as well.

Authors of children books, please! More attention to detail, specially when it comes to female dresses.
