... you know, the plaintive cry from the 'starving' child who "never" gets a treat ...


Pip: "Mum, can I have a lollipop for morning tea"?

Me: "Nope, but you can have a mandarin"

Pip: "YAY"! She was far more excited about this than the lollipop request "Alex, Alex! Mum says we can have a mandarin for morning tea"

Alexandra: "YAY"


Well, we must be doing something right here
