Can You Say e-x-p-r-o-p-r-i-a-t-i-o-n Boys and Girls?

This morning after breakfast our son was sitting at the kitchen table fiddling with the crepe paper flowers he made me for Mother’s Day last June.

“Remember I made you these flowers, Mummy?”

“Of course I remember.  For Mother’s Day.  Those are my favourite flowers, Zack”.

“I’m taking them back”.

“You can’t take them back.  You gave them to me”.

“I can take them back.  I’m the GOVERNMENT”.
