Erm, what?

We were quite happily sitting watching the TV on Monday, 7th October 2013, when this conversation happened…

Sister: “My face is wonky. My nose and my mouth are wonky.”

Me: “No they’re not.”

Sister: “Who lived in a shoe?”

Me: “What?”

Sister: “There was crooked man who lived in a shoe…”

Me: “What?”

(Cue searching for the two separate nursery rhymes, reading them out loud)

Sister: “Anyway the point is, there was a crooked man with a crooked smile. I have a crooked smile.”

Me: *facepalm*

Why haven’t I won the lottery yet?

This conversation took place on Saturday, 5th October 2013:

Sister: “Ugh! Why haven’t I won the lottery yet?!”

Me: “Did you enter this week?”

Sister: “Well, no. But that’s not the point. I should have won it by now. I don’t understand. This is not the life I was meant to lead, working and everything…”

Me: “Um, ok.”
