The mixing bowl

This year has been incredible so far - one that has seen a new family member arrive on the scene, and a general counting of blessings. 

'Every day I thank God for the baby,' says the Impster, in her usual holier-than-thou-can-ever-be tone of voice.

'Don't thank God, thank mummy,' says the newly-usurped Boo (who always has been a less-ethereal child). 'She was the one who made her, not God.'

'No,' insists the Impster, 'God made her, mummy was just the mixing bowl.'

 And that was that. Ten seconds and my entire life in perspective.
