Reincarnation?

Daughter has just relayed to me a conversation she and Jack, aged 3, had when she was explaining to him why Scruff, their kitten, was no longer with them -

Scruff isn't living with us any more because he had an accident. The other day he wanted to cross the road, but he didn't look first to see if anything was coming and he ran across the road when a van was coming really fast. The van couldn't stop quickly enough and so it banged into Scruff. Scruff died but he has gone to heaven to live with Granny. He's going to keep her company now and she is going to look after him.

Yes Mummy. When I was a dog I was run over and I stayed with Granny. Then Granny said I was going to be a boy and come and live with you and Daddy and be your Jack. Scruff will be happy with Granny.

Out of the mouths of babes?

Children's logic is so appealing!

Flighty - He certainly has made me think! The Red Arrows flew over yesterday. I don't know if they saw me running round the garden, waving my arms and shouting.

Princess - At least she was doing a brave task, and was human!

If they flew over just on 3.00pm then that's what I heard in the bookshop, which is in Northwood, but didn't see. I think they must have overflown Wembley stadium.
