Chef Edith

Edith loves helping in the kitchen and has helped with the Sunday roast for the last few weeks. She keeps on telling me what to do and likes me to ask her permission and say 'Yes, Chef Edith' lots.

This Sunday when we got the meal on the table Helen congratulated 'Chef Edith' on an excellent dinner only to have Edith correct her "I'm not Chef Edith now, mummy, I'm Eater Edith". She then proceeded to consume her own body weight in roast potatoes, chicken and sausages.

Jamie has a habit of prefixing every statement with 'Actually'. Edith has picked up on this and got a bit confused so now every time we have Yorkshire Puddings with the dinner she thinks they are called 'actual-puddings'. If you try and correct her then you get a quizzical look then she will keep on calling them 'actual-puddings'. It is sending Jamie mad "because ice cream and jelly is an actual pudding, not these". This might well explain why she keeps doing it.

Obi-Wan's time was up

Jamie got the original Star Wars trilogy for his birthday yesterday. He has watched all of the clone wars cartoons so Obi-Wan, R2D2 are all familiar friends. Today we watched Star Wars. The stream of questions was unceasing. "Why are the goodies (Storm Troopers) on the bad team now?", "Why is Obi-Wan so old?". We got to the fight scene between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan and Jamie couldn't quite believe that Obi-Wan got killed. He was a little upset and sat there quietly for a few minutes until I thought he was just watching the film when suddenly he announced "Obi-Wan was quite old.". I asked why this was significant, was it that an old Obi-Wan being cut down by Darth Vader's light sabre was okay? "Yes, he was old so he would have died soon anyway.". He perked up after that.

There's always repeats at Christmas

Jamie came home from school this week all grumpy. Apparently they had lost out on the free play time because they had to talk about this year's xmas play. Helen asked him what was the play they were doing, Jamie responded with a big sigh:
"Humph, its that jesus one, the same as we did last year"
