Overheard

Place: A random schoolyard

Players: Children in schoolyard and parents accompanying them to cars as they go home.

Action: Overheard conversation.

(In that sing-song teasing tone that all children use- to the tune of "I have a doughnut you don't have one")

Child #1: I know what the colour of your Daddy's face is!

Child #2: No you don't!

Child #1: Yes I do, it's white!

Recoiling in horror -

Grandmother Child #1:-------!(insert name) That's not very polite! We don't say things like that. Please apologise.

Mother Child #2: Oh, don't worry about it children will be children.

Apologising, but confused,

Child #1: I'm sorry.

The parents rush children off to their cars in embarassed fluster, avoiding each other's gaze.

Next Day - same scene.

Child #1: I know what colour your Daddy's face is!

Grandmother Child #1 Oh!! (in disbelief.)

Ignoring mother's signals to not encourage conversation:-

Child #2: Yeah? What is it?

Child #1: It's Peach!!

The parents rush children off to their cars in embrassed fluster, avoiding each other's gaze.



Isn't political correctness grand?!
