She said, "Mum, the bugs are following to me."
So, I tried to get her to remember what she should say in proper English.
She thought for a moment, and then not one to work too hard, took the easy out and rephrased her sentence and said, "Mum, the bugs are walking with me." *grin*

One day, Savannah comes to me and says, "Mum, I can't found my crack" (interpretation: I can't find my croc (shoe).

Briton tried to give me a smackeroo on my lips. I said, "No, who taught you that?" Cause we kiss on the cheek in our family.
He said, "Didi."
I said to him, "That's only for when you are married."
He immediately said with great expression, "OH!" and then grabbed my face and gave me a big kiss on the cheek.
One day, I looked outside and saw that Briton had taken a ball/egg type thing from where I had seen Raine put it at the base of a tree. I figured he was being annoying, and so, I stepped to the door and called out, "Raine, is that an egg?" figuring he had taken it from her 'nest'.
She looks at me and says with scorn, "NO! It's a BOMB!"
What hope is there for these girls being raised with six brothers!
