Overheard just now...

The Cherub (8 y.o): "Dad - what's a placenta?"

Kids - the cure for boredom!

Apparently we have Dan & Phil (youtubers) to blame for this. They were making biscuits, and one of them turned out 'placenta-shaped'...

*CACKLES* OMG...

[elisi]

Bloody Dan & Phil...

(This is where it came from. They're youtubers.)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Oh wow...

At least they aren't Tumblrites?

*headdesk*

[elisi]

Dan & Phil are pretty harmless, just not quite appropriate for an 8 year old. (Which is why she's not really allowed to watch them anymore.)

LOL!! That's what I figured.

Oops. Busted.

[elisi]

Oh she got busted a while ago. But her sisters like them, so she looks over their shoulder...

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Sneaky-sneaky. *Beams* How all younger siblings do it...

[elisi]

Indeed. :)

Hahaha oh bless. Good luck with this one ♥

[elisi]

Oh, she's one of a kind! :)

[zanthinegirl.livejournal.com]

Hee! Kids always make me giggle!

[elisi]

Never a dull moment, that's for sure!

You have a wonderful and very confusing family.

[elisi]

LOL!

Come & meet them sometime! :)

£40 return on the train is totally doable, don't tempt me.

[elisi]

...

I'll pay half.

Next month.

Right now, we're skint.

Placenta?

Isn't that the name for a 100th wedding anniversary? Or maybe it's the 100 millionth time your mum asks about grand-kids?

:-)

Ray.

[elisi]

Well, 'Placente' means 'does it please?', and it's used as a marriage proposal in 'Gaudy Night'... Although that's a bit of a tangent. :)

[kerkevik-2014.livejournal.com]

Both excellent ideas for fanfic titles.

Thanks.

:-)

Ray.

[elisi]

Oh my pleasure! :) Hope you're well?
