Conversation with Niece

I am in the toilet.

Niece is running around house, "Ian...Iiiii-an...where are you?"

Me, yelling: "I'm in the toilet."

Niece runs up to toilet door. "What you doing in there?"

Me: "I'm going to the toilet."

Her: "But why?"

Me: "Because I have to go."

Her: "But what doing."

Me: "A poo." [I'm thinking that's what she wants to know.]

Her: "But you have to do a wee and a poo."

Me: "Maybe."

Her: "You have to. Can I come in?"

Me: "No. I'm going to the toilet."

Her: "But I am very good at doing poo."

Me: "I am sure you are. But I have to finish."

Her: "When you finish, I do poo."

These are the things that make my day.

Particularly a day when I'm not too well. I stayed home from work yesterday and have been in bed most of today. Sadly, I think I will have to give the Turramurra Passion a miss tonight: God willing, I can go next week.
