“That place has closed Nanny”
“What place darling?”
“The Pet Shop”
“Oh!”
“Can I have a pet Nanny?”
“I don’t think so, you’re not very lucky with pets are you? They all die”
“I know, but I could have a dog”
Her younger sister chimes in “No you couldn’t because you would have to have a lead”
“But I could have a cat couldn’t I Nanny? Oh no I couldn’t, Dominic is allergic to cats” (Dominic is the boy next door)
Her sister shouts “Leave my hat alone. Nanny she’s trying to throw my hat out of the window”
“No I’m not, the window won’t open far enough”. Well that’s OK then.
“Well, could I have a horse then? I could keep a horse in the house”
“How could you keep a horse in the house? Don’t be silly”
“Why not? My friend Charlotte keeps her horse in the house”
“Well Charlotte must live on a farm” Why did I say that?
“Why am I having this insane conversation with you two? I’m a grown up and I have grown up conversations”
Two little girls giggle.“I know Nanny, we are troublesome aren’t we?”
