We're in a taxi, Rich in front me and girls in the back, Angelina has ants in her pants or something...her foot is swinging/tapping/wriggling and she's kicking everything insight including the back of the drivers chair.

Me: Angelina keep your feet still.

A: I can't!!

Me: You can...stop kicking the chair he's trying to drive.

A: This car smells Mummy!!!!

Me: (trying hard not to laugh) Shush... and stop wriggling!!!

A: I CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN'T!!!

Heather: (very matter of factly) Mummy, I think she's got my fidget!!! She has taken it from me because I am sitting very still and she isn't. (nodding her head)


Still, Heather managed to have her fidget back at 3am this morning when she wriggled her lil self into my bed and kicked me out of it (literally btw for all those who need amusing) so all is well once more and the fidget is now restored to its rightful owner!! Heather 'Ants in her pants' Savage.
