Actual conversation between me and my daughter this morning:
Me: Where's that book?
D: Which book? Have you seen this house? We have lots of books.
Me: ... Fair point.
(Tagging this book as an author I follow on Twitter recommended this author this morning and it sounds pretty amazing.)

saresmoore I like this hashtag a lot. 8y
Laalaleighh I thought maybe you were fed up with your daughter and threatening to send her to an orphanage. ? My parents used to watch Oliver and company with me and when we got to the please sir can I have some more part they would look at me and be like "be an awful shame if you ended up begging for more gruel in an orphanage one day because you couldn't control your smart mouth" They would also give me knowing looks during the orphanage scenes in Annie.

Sue @saresmoore Woot! @Laalaleighh 😂😂😂That's hilarious. Fortunately I just have to threaten my daughter with her father's house - she has a lot more rules to follow there! 8y
Laalaleighh @sue 😂that sounds much less psychologically damaging than playing musicals about orphans and staring at them meaningfully. 8y
Laalaleighh I still get all quiet and subdued whenever I hear "hard knock life" come on ?? 8y
