First ice-skating of the year and more Harry Potter were the order of the day today. We also went into town and both girls spent the refunded money from Puffin Post (which we got back as a result of it stopping), which since the subscriptions were a present I gave to K & M to spend on books. M bought a couple of Daisy and the trouble with... books and K bought a book of Secret Seven short stories and a couple of Jeremy Strong books.
As a result of reading one of her new books while waiting for me to top up my travel card (long queue), K came out with the question 'What's a school secretary, Mummy?', one of the easier questions she's come up with!
Recently I've been saying to the now rather predictable extremely literal responses to almost any song lyrics, particularly when they involve questions 'Don't take it so literally!'. This afternoon on the way home from ice-skating I said something, I can't remember what, and M told me 'Don't be so literate!', which led to a discussion about the difference between literal, literate and literature.
M and I also had a conversation about Mrs, Miss & Ms and she told me she thought she'd be a Ms and asked why I was a Mrs. So having agreed that everyone should be able to choose what they are called, she changed her mind and has decided that she won't be a Ms, she'll be a Moo, because she likes animals. And why not!
