Little Miss Grumpy ...

One of the things I really really like about the school the rugrats go to is that, in the absence of a school pool, they load all the kids on a bus once a week during Term 3 and truck them to the pool in town to teach them to swim.

Due to the fact that S, in spite of repeated threats, continues to keep growing and growing, we had to go swimsuit shopping after school. Not the easiest task in the middle of winter when most shops are focusing on snow rather than sun.

Both rugrats are in one of those insanely polite, cheerful, friendly moods they spiral off into on the odd occasion, S more so than K. An elderly woman with a walking stick wanders past ...

S (doing her best "I'm adorably cute" impersonation) : "Hello !!!"

Elderly woman with walking stick keeps right on walking ...

S (looking dumbfounded that anyone would ignore aforementioned adorably cute features) : "I said hello ... turn up your hearing aide !!"

I am incredibly thankful that she didn't hear ... who knew sarcasm would manifest itself so young ?
