DD: Yes that's what everyone says but the question is how did he actually do it? That's the question.

ReplyDeleteIt's variation on 'ask your father'.
DeleteIt's hard to answer some of these!
ReplyDeleteYup. Do you think she does it on purpose? ;)
DeleteSo, she's starting to work them out for herself then....by deciding she doesn't really need to know! So funny, I really enjoy these and can't believe I nearly missed this one! xx
