When LB was four, she often called me by name rather than ‘Mummy’. One day we were discussing my middle name – which I rarely use as I don’t particularly like it. I said what it was (and no I’m not telling you!)
She replied, “No it isn’t. Your name is Mummy Yvonne.”
I asked then why it was she called me Yvonne.
“Well,” she said. “Mummy is such a common name. Yvonne is so much nicer.”
The wisdom of four-year-olds. Why do we get them to call us such a common name?

Is this you Yvonne? How do I sign up for notifications of your blog?
Yes it’s me Bill. I think you just click on the Follow button up in the bar at the top – towards the left. (I was away from this blog for so long that a lot has changed, so I’m not sure if that’s right. If it’s not, I will investigate. Thanks for reading!)
