Me: Go get scones and donuts from the bakery. And buy some ginger ale from the grocery while you're out. And ask the cook to make tomato and cucumber sandwiches.
Kavin: All this for a school picnic?
Me: How long since you read an Enid Blyton?
Kavin: Oh yes. Yes. They're going to the forest all the time with their picnic baskets loaded with goodies (now his eyes are twinkling). I will go find a good basket.
Me: And make some lemonade. And while you're in the loft, find our blue and white and red picnic blanket.
Oh. To be a child again.
