Toddlers really do have a special way of putting life into perspective don’t they?

Yesterday a fairly large tree branch fell onto the roof on the in-laws car while they were parked next to our house. It is one of the joys of living in a national park that at times nature decides to lash out and try and take back what is essentially it’s on.

The car was pretty well buggered, the roof caved in and the windows shattered. From all accounts the adults there were all very upset, one in tears at the destruction of their new car (it only tends to happen to new cars) the others a bit stressed by it. Wife of course went straight into ‘What if Little Miss had of been standing under it’ etc - a valid point, but given she wasn’t I personally think you should be grateful and not worry about the ‘what if’ factor.

Of course as they all rushed out to have a look and try and wind back time using mind power Little Miss stood there taking in the destruction and ensuing chaos around her.

After considering the unpleasant situation for a few moments, she finally had sorted out the best course of action and decided to contribute her insight:

Little Miss: ‘Oh dear, dear. Oh dear, dear dear. We’re going to need lots and lots of sticky tape!’

It must be glorious to live in a world where everything can be fixed with some sticky tape (and the odd hug)
