Just now I was quietly reheating some coffe in the microwave and Babuliya was minding her own business tidying up in the bathroom. Out of the blue Richard crept up on Babuliya and shouted BOO running away leaving Babuliya to catch her breath.

He came into the kitchen very smugly and ready to share his excitement. Before he could get a word out I said, Richard that wasn’t very nice, why did you scare Babuliya like that. The smugness was replaced with seriousness and very matter of factly replied, “because I can’t scare Mummy like that, she always knows it’s me!”
