Long Pees

We have been trying to encourage Miss MMJ to develop an adventurous palate. We ask her to try things, and if she doesn't like them, she doesn't have to eat any more of it after the initial test mouthful. Any advances in sophistication are somewhat compromised by the fact that we have to bribe her with pudding, usually chocolate, to try stuff, but long journeys and small steps etc etc...

One lunchtime, we were having asparagus. We asked Maia to have a taste of these "long peas". She was reluctant. Then we told her that this particular type of long pea (there are a few) makes your wee smell funny.

She duly tried a bit and we forgot all about it.

Later that afternoon, Isabel came round to play.

"I have been to Disney" she announced, "and I had dinner with a Princess"

The two of them dashed upstairs after leaving strict instructions that, if we needed them, we were to come upstairs. Did we think we would be alright? Paula and I did.

After a bit, we heard stomping about in the loo. Now, the last time Maia and Isabel got into the loo together, unsupervised, there was a baby powder EXPLOSION. So, I went to investigate. I found the two of them bent over the loo, sniffing Maia's recently desposited wee.

"Mummy!" Maia said, full of wonder "it does make your wee smell funny!"

"Can Isabel have some?"
