Fire engines at the school

I was on the school run today waiting for my 5yr old girl to come out,chatting to the other mothers/fathers when the door burst open and the tide of children burst forth. My little angel looked a lot more excited than usual so I asked her if she was pleased to see her dad.
Freda- "No dad. We've had fire engines at the school today."
Me- "Oh, have you had a fire then?"
Freda- "No dad. There were two of them."
Me- "They just came to visit then?"
Freda- "Yes dad. They had a big ladder."
Me- "Did you climb up it?"
Freda- "No dad, it wasn't safe.They had a pipe."
Me- "Don't you mean a hose?"
Freda- "No dad, they didn,t have a nose they had a pipe with water coming out and it wet Kimberley."
Me- "Didn't it wet you?"
Freda- "No dad, I was stood behind Kimberley."
Do you know something, it's great being a dad.
Today's moan- If you work like mad to get all your chores finished so you can sit down for half an hour why does your wife think you are slacking?
