Entry for 13th December, 2007

I am recovering from the children's party yesterday. So far no-one has served a writ on me as a result of The Roundfaced Girl's behaviour, but I fear that it is only a matter of time before the sheriff officers come knocking, with papers relating to the theft of a Mr Kipling Apple Bramwell.
She has taken to stealing items from other children, believing that this is OK provided that the action is accompanied by the word "Please" or "Share". It is difficult to be too chiding when one is laughing so hard it hurts your nether parts. At any event, I am secretly proud of her. She will survive if she is ever cast adrift on a lifeboat with limited rations. I rather fear for the other passengers though. I suspect that they might be deemed to be "emergency rations" when the going gets tough.
