I didn't have much patience for Ella's impersonation of a tortoise as she was climbing into the car today. After my impersonation of a military drill sergeant, I apologised to her by saying:
Me - I'm sorry Ella, I'm just a bit grumpy today.
Ella - Why?
Me - Not for a reason, I just am today.
Ella - But you're so funny when you're grumpy, mummy!
When I assured her I would not be grumpy anymore tomorrow, she said in a disappointed tone: "But then you won't be funny anymore!".

Ella had just come out of the pool and was standing on the lawn with a towel wrapped around her, nibbling on a cracker and looking around when she stated:
"Men don't have hair, do they?"
I remembered I'd seen a bald man amongst the pool dwellers earlier, so I said: "Some men don't have hair."
Ella took a bite of her cracker, still looking around and then turned to me and said casually: "Shame, isn't it?"
I laughed for about 5 minutes.

ha ha - she is willing to take the bad with the good, it seems!
Sounds like those rose coloured glasses work for grumpy mum but not for bald men. Perfect!
Maybe she's referring to Uncle Dan's forehead? But I spose the rest of his head of hair makes up for it!
Gee I laughed when she wouldn't hug him goodbye in his naughty fairy outfit. (I don't blame her for being disturbed... I was!)
