“If the lava is under the volcano, then when the volcano erupts the lava gets less and less. Then the volcano collapses and the rain can fall in and we can use it as a swimming pool.”

I then decided we should try a new version of Citta where you have to twirl your card over and over before putting it down on the table. This allows everyone to see the colour of the card which makes it easier to know when to Citta.  So I decided to change the rules on that too so that only black on red could be Citta, and then red on black as well. We finished by having to do double twirls with one card in each hand at the same time all playing together.  I’m really good at making up rules.  And I’m really good at Citta.

“I am the teacher. Here’s how to do the dance. You put one arm up and one arm down, then turn around and around. Then you have strong muscles, and do a crazy dance.”

Dad asked me where I got the idea for making the fans. He wondered if somebody showed me how to do it. So I told him.

Nobody else was doing it.
The think for it came into my head and then the think stayed in my head.
And you can use paper or you can use tickets or whatever you like.

I drew the picture on Mum’s back using my finger. Then I said “Aha, I see!” I saw what was wrong and told Mum that it was all better. She smiled and said she felt better. I like looking after Mum.

I explained the picture to an adult and she wrote it on the picture for me. Here’s what it says:

Machine picture with glitter. It cuts wood, it cuts paper, squashes the wood paper, then they give it to Jack and Neve and Thomas.

Dad didn’t like that so he went away. But next time I saw him I said sorry.

“I’m sorry I sprayed you Dad. But I was really annoyed when you told us not to make a mess.”

Mum and Dad have put the picture up on the wall at Playcentre. They must really like spiders.

So I can count up to two. I don’t need any more numbers than two because I only have two legs.
