While Staying at Grandma's

1.
Jes: "mummy are you tired?"
Kirst: "well, yes actually"
Jes: "well just come to bed then if you are tired!"

as if it was the most obvious thing in the world

2.
the scene: walking through some bush towards the zoo with kirst and grandma
Kirst found an acorn top, and said to Jes in a hushed tone...

Mummy: "Jes, look! Some elves have been here.. and one of them has left his hat here!"
Jes (with a look of absolute awe & astonishment): "really!? do you think if we wait, we could see him?

At this point there was a pause as Mummy started to feel guilty that he was believing her...


Jes: "...and if we find him we can STOMP on him and KILL him!"
