Tom said something that Sam found funny, some misunderstanding of meaning in this peculiar english language of ours. Tom did not like being laughed at, so to explain to Sam why he shouldn't laugh, and hey, look you said some dafto things when you were little, I told them both the following story. Sam, loving hearing stories about himself, asked me to write about it on the blog.
When Sam was not yet 4 years old he grandparents were coming to visit and I had to tell him that we couldn't do something yet "because Grandma is due soon". Sam looked at me with some confusion mixed with some scepticism and asked "is Grandma a library book?" to which I replied something like "what do you mean?" (with muchly raised eyebrows) and he said "well you always say my library books are due back, so if Grandma is due she must be a library book!".
Sam loved this little story of when he was younger, although I'm not sure he learn't anything from it, and Tom? Tom wondered off in search of something to bang on or something to jump on.
it may have been wasted on your little 'uns but I just LOVE it xxx
