Bit of a tenuous link but
I was sitting this morning trying to get my answer about banks in before the question closed. My wife was in bed (pregnant with hyper emesis) and I was taking care of the little guy (who is two).#

As a consequence of preparing my 1200+ word response on banks I kinda neglected him. I am ashamed to say that he even came up to me and asked me to change his nappy on two separate occasions. So I did the only thing a loving caring father could. I stuck on an episode of postman pat to keep him sweet for the five minutes I needed. I figured I could knock out the last part of my banking moan before the theme tune even ended.

My little dude had other ideas. (this is where the tenuous link comes in)

He came up to me and handed me a raisin which I absentmindedly accepted. Only it was not a raisin. He had reached into the deepest DARKest recesses of his nappy and picked out the choicest most juicy and succulent bottom sultana he could lay his hands on. At first I didn't realise what it was. Then doubt started to creep in to my mind. All of a sudden my B3TA response was pushed to the back of my mind. I looked closer. What can I say his little starfish had produced an artifact which to the untrained eye looked identical to a sultana. At this point it was still unclear just exactly what I was holding. I knew a little bite would tell me all I needed to know. I blessed myself, closed my eyes, hoped for the best and took a little..........


NO NO NO, I'm not that stupid. I just sniffed it and the alarm bells started ringing. The bottom line (no pun intended) is that my son can get his point across quite eloquently when he needs to.

Only the worst things come from the dark.
