Me: Nell, are you awake?
Nell: No. Let me sleep.
Me: They don’t mean to annoy.
Nell: Our day started at 4am.
Me: I know it did. You went back to bed.
Nell: Who eats Weetabix at 4am?
Me: They are babies, Nell.
Nell: Monsters.
Me: They are just excited, Nell.
Nell: The small one has a very loud voice.
Me: Harriet does have a lot to say.
Nell: Early mornings are quiet times. That boy is very bouncy.
Me: Dave can be a little boisterous. He looks so much like you, Nell.
Nell: He is handsome.
Me: They are both adorable, aren’t they.
Nell: They are my relatives.
Me: They love you.
Nell: But not at 4am.
Me: It was a bit early for me too you know.
Nell: Who decided to bring them home?
Me: Kev and I did.
Nell: Two puppies.
Me: Yes.
Nell: I warned you.
Me: You did.
Nell: You need to warm the milk for their Weetabix. They are very young.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
