Busy in the Kitchen

Billy: Mummy! Are you busy?

Mother: Yes, I'm in the kitchen.

Вi11y: Can I go swimming in Chichester with Jim this morning?

Mother: Jim?

Billy: Jim English. He's living with Mr and Mrs Willis in the village — Spring Cottage.

Mother: Isn't it a bit chilly to go swimming?

Billy: What's this? Can I pinch a bit of it?

Mother: Oh, Billy, you little pig! It's figgy pudding, Get your fingers out of it!

Billy: Women are so silly! I only dipped a little finger in.

Mother: Well, it's a filthy little finger. Here, tip this chicken skin into the bin and I'll give you a biscuit.

Weeding's Not for Me!

Peter; This is the season for weeds. We'll each weed three metres before tea, easily.

Сe1ia: Do we kneel? My knees are weak. Do you mean all these?

Peter: Celia, my sweet, those aren't weeds, those are seedlings, Beans, peas and leeks. Can't you see?

Се1ia: If they're green they're weeds to me. But I agree, Peter — weeding's not for me!

Peter: Well, let me see. May be we'll leave the weeds. You see these leaves? If you sweep them into a heap under that tree I'll see to the tea.

Сe1ia: Pete, my feet are freezing. You sweep the leaves. I'll see to the tea!
