Out of the Mouths of Babes - Part One.

This is a transcription of a conversation I have just had with my son Harry as we were driving home on the A303, past Stonehenge. (Harry is 5.)

Harry: That's Stonehenge.
Me: That's right! What do you think it's made of?
Harry: Rocks.
Me: Yes, well, stones.
Harry: I know how they got them there.
Me: Do you? How?
Harry: They got some rope and they pulled them.
Me: Well done! You are clever. Did someone tell you that?
Harry: No I just knowed it in my head.
Me: Well it's a clever thing to know.
Harry: Yes. But Mummy?
Me: Yes?
Harry: How did they get them through?
Me: Through what Darling?
Harry: Through those gates Mummy! You *are* silly.
