Once Upon A Time...

A long, long time ago... in a place not unlike England (it was green and so probably rained a lot, but was sunny).


Lived a Mum with her little boy Adam...


One day, Mum walked over to Adam


who was just stretching up to reach a nice juicy apple..


and said,


"I've got a surprise for you!"


Adam smiled and replied,, "Oooh Gooood Mum, what is it?


"You're going to have a baby Sister!!!"


Adam thought for a moment and then asked, "What's that?"


Mum explained about sugar and spice... and all things that are nice....


".... and that's what little girls are made of".


Adam was impressed (he already knew he was a boy because Mum had explained why they were different)

but naturally now he wondered and said.. "Oh Good Mother, but...


what are little boys made of?"


Mum thought about how much fun Adam was and what he loved to do that made him laugh so much and enjoy life....


then said,



"Snips and snails - (Hygiene)
And Puppy dog tails - (waggly/happy)



That's what little Boys are made of!"




Later that night, while in bed...


Mum told Dad and asked,


"Does that seem like a 'FAIR' description to you?"


He said,


"Fairy? Oh, Yes"



She was that too
