GGJ and I sat outside tonight, because it's lovely to be home and it's a (rare) beautiful warm evening. I bought some perfectly ripe strawberries thisafternoon and had some at lunchtime, then finished them off just now, before bed. This has suddenly brought back a memory from my childhood that made me smile.
Similarly lovely evening, me aged about 5 or 6, Mum brought us strawberries and cream in the garden just before bedtime.
Me, 'Please, please, please, just this once can I be allowed not to clean my teeth before bed?'
My mum, 'Why?'
Me, 'Because this tastes so lovely and I'd really love to go to sleep with the taste of strawberries and cream in my mouth.'
My mum (hugging me and laughing) 'You are SO much my daughter! Alright then, just this once!' Tonight however, you'll be pleased to hear that I will clean my teeth. This set has to last!
