After a difficult week, with our toddler at the ‘pushing the boundaries’ stage, I thought I’d share these pearls of wisdom from him.

On beauty regimes: ‘Mummy you haven’t done your make up this morning…you really should.’

On fashion: ‘I am not wearing that cardigan. It is so NOT COOL.’

On self-awareness: ‘If I’m naughty, I must go to my room and think about what I’ve done.’

On exterior house decor: ‘The butterfly on the outside of that house has gone – go and tell them to put it back on.’

And finally, this one could have been written by Dr Seuss, on food shopping complaints:

‘I am Herbie, Herbie I am. You did not buy corn on the cob or ham’

(alright I added the first line)
