Tra la la !
I was four and my lovely little brother, about 6 months old, was sitting in his highchair looking unbelievably cute (peachy baby skin, huge brown eyes and wispy blonde hair). I thought it might be fun to turn his cute little head from being a soft peach into a mushy tomato.

With my plastic spade.

To the tune of "Banana Splits" - Tra la la ..la-la-la-la.. tra la la.. la-la-la-la ! over and over again until the spade snapped.
Even though it must have really hurt, he didn't cry once but when I was finally compelled to stop due to the spade breakage, he looked up at me and said "La".
One of my friends snitched to my Mum and I got banned from playing in the sandpit for the day.
Small punishment methinks.

I'm so sorry Jamie, so so sorry.
