"mummy, miss katie said dont bring this disc anymore, bring another one. Can you buy me another disc of Little Einstein?"

something so simple, only 21 words .... but these 21 words had me bursting with laughter, rolling on the floor, holding my aching tummy and tears running down my cheeks .....

yes ... only 21 simple words ...... which i believe in miss katie's mind would have been all summed up only with 2 words - NOT AGAIN?

mummy replied : " of course my darling.... i love you so much!!!"
