6? 16? I think more like 26- Karla and her one-liners.

It’s 9.30am on Saturday morning and the 3 Musketers are on our way to Swimming Lessons ( we’ve already done the bed-making/breakfast/teeth brushing/hair/lost shoes never ending saga/etc ), and Sean & Karla are in the back of the car telling their version of a “JOKE”.

Here goes, I’ll try and re-create the story it for you- I hope I do it justice.

Karla: “Hey Sean, what’s your favourite colour? “

Sean: “Blue”

Karla: “What’s your favourite animal and your favourite sport? “

Sean: “Um, a shark and rugby”

Karla: “Have you ever seen a blue shark playing rugby !!!!!!! ? “

Now picture both kids doubled over laughing. When they compose themselves, Sean starts again-

Sean: “Hey Karla, what’s your favourite colour ? “

Karla on the other hand, has had enough of this joke, and says “Yellow”

Sean: “But Karla I thought your favourite colour is pink? “

Karla looks at Sean with one eye brow raised ( I can see this from the rear- version mirror ), and waves one hand carelessly at Sean and says with a huff ” Oh Sean, Pink is soooo yesterday”.

My point- Karla is 6 years old.
