We've just spent a lovely weekend up in Norfolk with Auntie Gill and Uncle Peter. After a fabulous roast dinner on Saturday, baby Jacob was still in his highchair and Gill was playing a little game with him, passing a Tupperware lid backwards and forwards and saying "Thank you very much!"
Jacob was smiling and laughing, but Daniel watched them both through gimlet eyes. Eventually Daniel could stand it no longer and he piped up: "Jacob is my brother. You can't have him!"
Auntie Gill, rather taken aback, replied, "Yes, of course he's your brother, Daniel. That's right." But Daniel was not to be mollified.
Giving Gill a piercing look, he added: "And you can't have that lid either."
