away on holidays i learned

• i have a child who checks under the couch cushions in a new place, looking for loose change
• i remembered that i have a (different) child who checks every vending machine for forgotten change
• i have a child who checks mummys wallet for change
• my kids do actually have a little discernment: they preferred the wildlife sanctuary to the theme parks. they also preferred the tropical fruit plantation. thank heavens.

ps: i have one australian flag hat pin and a handful of postcards so gimme a shout if you want one. first in , best dressed and all that
