The things children say
It’s normally the youngest of the Midgley boys who comes up with the funniest sayings, but today I’m featuring Reece, the 8-year-old second youngest … (Thank you to his mother for these).
Yesterday Reece was telling someone that he couldn’t find something, but then he “saw it with the apple of my eye”!
And last week: “Mommy, what on earth do they mean ‘Gird your lions with truth???’”
Of course, Reece has a history of mis-hearing and mis-quoting, like last year as a 6-year-old, while in Grade 1, when his brother was telling him about Malaria: “It makes you hot and cold and your muscles cramp,” said Andy.
Reece was horrified – more than one would have expected. Why?
He heard, “It makes your heart cold and your muscles damp.”

They called me weed
I have been blogging here since around April 2011 - my little place on the blogosphere to express myself creatively. As a teenager I used to write a diary - in fact, as a 17-year-old living in Belgium, I wrote religiously every day. Fortunately the Internet didn't exist back then because my ramblings as a teenager were ever-so-slightly dark, cynical and depressing. You won't find much of that here. Also, mostly, I try not to get too deep or philosophical in this forum - I'd like my photography to uplift and inspire, and, where I can, I try to bring a bit of humour into my writing too. I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively and have made many friends across the globe. This is my spot to keep in touch with them.
To mix quotes, i came along this one, but as far as i know by an adult, that made me laugh: ‘Where the iron lies down with the lamp’
Those faces he pulls!
I believe you would call that the typical “Reece”.
Didn’t realise that “my Preciousest” is giving Dubs a run for his money in the freckles stakes!! Lovely picture of you, my Preciousest.
