Overheard

Sometimes, the Munchkin chatters away to himself. This is common particularly while he is chomping down some grub.

Recently, we had these.

"A mouse took a stroll through the deep, dark wood. He saw a Gruffalo and he said HOOT"

"Incy Wincy Spider climbed the tree and it snowed and he froze - HE'S DEAD MUMMY"

"Incy Wincy Spider climbed the water spout, he fell down and had another go - WELL DONE spider!"
