Emma had her friend J over after school. Emma has announced before now that she will be marrying J when they are grown up. It remains to be seen whether they both still think this is a good idea in a decade or so! Anyway, J is the opposite of Emma when it comes to food, and as a result of this, and genetics, and 11 months difference in their ages, he is much smaller than Emma. So I had to laugh today when he was picking his way through the food I had put on his plate. Emma leaned across and whispered in his ear. Then she turned and told me "I've just made a deal with J: if he finishes his sweetcorn so he grows up fit and healthy, I will marry him when I'm old enough"! Now there's an offer! Sweetcorn, anyone?
