This conversation took place driving home from nursery the
other day which is one of my favourite times of the week. Alby is always super chatty and comes out
with all sorts of random comments and thoughts which keep me chuckling all the
way home. And so I share with you one
our recent chats so you can also have a glimpse of the randomness of Trouble
Monkey’s brain….
Me: Alby we need to make a Christmas shopping list so we
know who to buy gifts for
Alby: We need to buy Brooks an aeroplane. Brooks needs a really big aeroplane and Narna
needs a little one.
Me: Oh right. Brooks
wants an aeroplane does he?
Alby: Yes. A really
big one. That goes backwards and
forwards. <Silence> His aeroplane needs a remote control. Narna’s aeroplane doesn’t because it is only
very small. She can use her fingers
<holds his hand up to his face and wiggles his fingers>. But Brooks needs a remote control for his
aeroplane because it is big and has to fly.
Me: Will it do a loop the loop like Dusty?
Alby: Yes. And it
will be red. And it will go really fast.
<Silence> Brooks is a bit bigger
than me.
Me: Yes his is. He is
both a bit bigger and a bit older.
Brooks is bigger than daddy too.
Alby: Is he?
Me: Yeah, a little bit.
Alby: Yeah. He is a
little bit bigger than daddy. But daddy
is stronger than Brooks. Daddy can lift
a big cardboard box.
Me: Wow. A big
cardboard box? That is strong!
Alby: Yes Brooks can’t do that. If he tried he would drop it and hurt himself
and need a plaster.
Me: Where would he
hurt himself?
Alby: On his knee. He
would need a plaster on his knee. My
trousers had a hole in the knee but now they have a patch. And when the other hole is bigger that will
get a patch too…
