Things we say when we are small

My mother kept a few things that my younger brother and I said when we were children.

Me:

• 3 years: "Mummy, why don't cattle go in catalogues?"
• 6 years: Observing ice crystals in jelly: "My jelly is isolated".
• 9 years: Playing clarinet: "Plaisir d'Amour must be about crusaders who wore armour".
• 11 years: "Is Trigonometry something to do with guns?"

My brother:

• 2 years: "I'm not a son, I'm a moon!"
• 3 years: "The sky doesn't fall down because the trees hold it up".
• 4 years: "If you get burned you turn into a gorilla."
• 5 years: Busily cutting up paper litter to make confetti: "My arms are getting tired with all this literary stuff".
• 10 years: "People never seem to have obtuse appendix, just acute."
• 11 years: "Today in Science we learned about sour vanilla". (Salmonella)
