Porky-pines

Working with children is always entertaining. The innocence, imagination and sheer rawness of their thoughts and actions is priceless.

We were walking home from the school/day care run today and the girls were all chatting about their weekend away.

H, the 4 year old declared "Daddy was telling us about the Bunyip that lives in the creek"

"Really! I used to live with a bunyip" I said. They all stopped and looked at me, wide eyed "Yep, I did. Her name was Bunyeeta Bunbottom"

H thought about this for a minute and finally exclaimed "Jess! You're telling Porcupines!" (I am assuming she has heard mum or dad say 'Porky Pies')

"No really" I said "It lived in our creek and lived off possum poo"

"Wow" Said H "Jess, Thats not a porky-pine, that's the TRUTH!!!"

Yep, that old possum poo line gets them every time!!?!?!
