True, she only has one joke, but it’s an absolute banger
Last modified on Sun 21 Jul 2024 10.40 CESTy two-year-old daughter only has one joke, but it’s a banger. She usually deploys it when I’m at my wit’s end – an alarmingly frequent condition – and it catches me off guard every time. I’ll be pouring pasta from pot to colander, or scrubbing Weetabix from a wall, and will look over to see her ambling towards me wearing my giant shoes on her absurdly small feet.
She ambles towards me wearing my giant shoes on her absurdly small feet, causing both of us to laugh ourselves senseless I now realise the seemingly endless battles I had with our son, which would eventually, finally, result in my turning him towards carrots or sharing, were mere scuffles. This lady’s will is iron and she is not for turning.
Clodagh had brought along Pop-Up Pirate and put it on the table for them to share. In case you’ve never played that game, it’s a barrel in which a small plastic pirate is placed and who you must impale with small plastic swords until you hit the requisite one to eject him. It falls into that odd category of needlessly tense and inscrutable games like Operation or Buckaroo, which might best be described as ‘Russian Roulette for children’. Soon we had tension of another sort.
