Whilst having some quality 'Father-Daughter' I thought we would carry on our work on the alphabet.
We had a good start with the usual letters, I write them down and Jocelyn tells me what they are:
"...D for Daddy...J for Jocelyn...M for Mummy...G for Grandpa..." (sorry Granny you have been ousted).
Then we stepped up a gear..."B for Trixy-B...H for Aunty Harriet...S for Uncle George..." (I have no idea where this came from, but Jocelyn was happy).
Excellent I thought, began to download OxBridge application forms when suddenly a purple crayon was thrust at me. "Draw Purple Daddy". O.K. I thought that to stimulate further learning I would write purple, in purple (cunning), the following conversation then occurred:
Jocelyn: "Whats that?"
Me: "That's a letter P"
Jocelyn: "yes it is, whats that one?"
Me: "that's a U"
Jocelyn: "yes it is, thats a Me"
Me: "errr, no, thats the letter U"
Jocelyn: "yes it is, its the letter Me, its my letter..."
OxBridge forms now in the bin.
I love your blogs. Thanks keep them coming and btw, I think it's about time you started to get into stand-up comedy!
