Venus thinks that she can read. Now, to be fair, she is starting to recognise letters and has a pretty good go at writing her own name, but she can't quite read yet.
But she does like to pick up picture books and make up a story that may or may not relate in some way to the pictures. I like to think that what she's doing is in some ways more challenging than reading, as she has to make up the whole story herself.
Anyway one day recently she was reading me a story in this way. It was quite long and involved and when we got to the end of it instead of the traditional "They all lived happily ever after. The end" she announced:
"They all had broccoli ever after. The end"
And then she couldn't understand why I got the giggles.
