Poor Mum, they sound like a handful! Sweet though 🙂
Hahaha yes I think they are!
Faced with a problem we don’t know how to solve, using the magic we command always seems like a good idea. Interesting piece, Laurie
Thanks Neil! For little ones everything is a bit magical
Delightful dialogue Laurie, I could almost hear them! I’m sure teddy will help, they always seem to.
Thanks Keith! 🤣
Great dialogue, they sound like a right pair of rugrats.
Thank Michael ! They sure are 😂
Dear Laurie,
I’m sure it was a spaceship in the child’s mind. Poor mum. I’m sure it’s a tumble none of them will forget. 😉
Shalom,
Rochelle
Hahaha oh for sure. That little one’s imagination and having fun exploring can get you into all sorts of mischief !
Sounds like two active and inquisitive youngsters. Poor mom 😉
Oh yes, and of course the younger one is the bossy explorer!
I loved the innocence and tit for tat exchange that is so typical of young children.I enjoyed reading this.
Thanks James ! Ah these two make my giggle.
This was so sweet and believable the way you captured their little voices.

Thank you! 😊
Awww… I could just picture this, Laurie. So sweet (despite Mum’s fall).
Hahaha thanks Dale! Yeah poor mum, rescuing the adventurers is a tireless job!
Loved the conversation. Brought little kids to life, very realistic. And poor Mum. Well, at least she’s never bored 🙂
Aw… I would want to climb it too. I feel for the kid. And the mom.
Hahaha me too!
