I’ve been away for a week, on the rather gorgeous and pretty remote Isle of Raasay (Western Isles, Scotland for any geographobes out there). Obviously I’ve returned with a camera full of images and a head full of thoughts but first I’ve got a shed load of housekeeping to do – in more ways than one.
However, I had to share this little pearl with you.
Travelling on one of our many roadtrips around the island, the 8yo was instructing the 5yo about plurals – yes, when he takes time off being a police cadet he’s actually a very good teacher. We’d dealt with sheep and sheep – of which there were bounteous supplies. Moving on to slightly more complex plurals the following exchange took place:
8yo: What’s the plural for Octopus?
5yo: Squids
8yo: No, it’s Octopi
5yo: Oh
8yo: What’s the plural for Fish?
5yo: Fishy Pie?
Boom tish….

LOL!! sweet.
Is fishy pie not correct then?
Waaaah, fantastic!! Just laughed out loud at that. 5 stars to the 5 yo…xx
That’s brilliant!
Welcome back from holiday!
Love the octopus / squid thing which reminds me I need to defrost some squid to make calimari
Ha ha, classic. Perhaps he can teach mum that geographobe isn’t a real word… tee hee.
She may be quiet, but she’s got a way with a one liner alright.
