We’re watching Play School. Keira keeps pointing to the screen and saying, “mummy, mummy!”

Me: “Is that a mummy?”

Justine is on the screen, good ole’ Justine.

Keira: “Play school mummy?”

“Her name’s Justine, Keira.”

“No, my mummy”

“Justine’s your mummy?”

“Yeah”

“No, I’m your mummy”

“No, I want her!”

Well, isn’t that just dandy?
