I heard today of two events at a local show (ours is next Sunday) that have had me laughing all day…. Both involved young children, sisters in fact, 2 and 4 years.
The 4 year old had entered the children’s art competition with a painted cone as a tree decoration and had spent for ever with paint and sticking bits on but when she went to see if she’d won a prize found a large formal notice attached to her entry “NOT AS SCHEDULE” because there was no loop at the top with which to hang it on the tree!
That seemed a bit severe on a 4 year old but I think her 2-year-old sister took suitable counter action… A bit later her Mum was looking at the veg tables where produce was beautifully displayed, faultlessly regular and she wondered why all the carrots were displayed in threes except the red card First Place carrots that only had two… Then she glanced down and sure enough 2 year old, brought up to appreciate the healthy benefits of raw fruit and veg, had helped herself to a decent carrot and was happily eating it….
Hurried exit of Mother and Child….
Any other funny tales?
