Me: Who is fatter, Daddy or Santa?

Imogen: You are the fattest, Mummy!

Sometimes you get grumpy, Mum. Then I pretend I'm a hummingbird. And that because hummingbirds don't like rice.

Picking cutters for Xmas cookies:

We need a Christmas tree, candy canes, a snow pig, a Christmas tractor, and a cat.

Me: Don't hit your brother.

Imogen: You need to learn about a thing called fun.

Mum, when I was born in China, Julius was my little girl. We went to Mongolia and Russia to have noodles and DisneyWorld.

Julius is Imogen's little brother.

Mummy, when you were a baby, I used to play with your penis.

As you can see, I have packed my suitcase and I'm going to Antarctica, then to South Africa and Mozambique. Don't forget to worry.

~pause~

Actually... I'm going to Hawaii and the Congo. You look after my brother and the cat. And really don't forget to worry about me.

~pause~

MUUUUUUM!!! I'm taking Tom and Jerry. You won't miss them. And they always wanted to see some islands. Can I have some cookies too?

~pause~

But Mum, I can't clean up my toys. I need to take them to Antarctica. It's important for me to play whenI'm there.

Mummy, when we're done with Turkey, we can go on some airplanes to Mongolia and ask the Ice Lady to make us some snow cones.

When I grow up, I can wear your nice pyjamas. When you get small, you can wear my nice pyjamas!

Mum, can we go to the desert and get a camel and bring it home?
