Words of William - an occasional Q&A with my 6 year old

Q: What would you do if you were the President of the United States?
A: I would go to the White House, go swimming and then go bowling. I would invite you and Daddy into the Situation Room if 'something happened'.

Q: If you ruled the world, what would you do first?
A: Make Tin Tin come to life.

Q: What kind of pet would you like to have?
A buffalo and a pet Cobra.

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: A champion wrestler.

Q: What do you love to eat?
A: Rubbish.

Q: What is Vegemite? 
A: It's made of mashed up vegies by Australian shoppers.

Q: How do pictures get onto a TV screen?
A: A director puts them there.

Q: What do you think Heaven is like?
A: Gold floors, angels and lots of dead people.

Q: What do you think the tooth fairy does with all those teeth?
A: She takes them back to her house in the sky.

Q: Why did God send you to Mommy and Daddy?
A: Because Miss Jessica already had Emma.



Vegemite. Treasured by Aussies for eons. Despite what Americans think, this stuff is delicious and life would not be worth living without it. Spread it on toast, bread, on crackers with cheese, make a soup stock with it, eat it straight off a spoon. Does not resemble roofing tar at all. Is not made from 'mashed up vegies' as my son seems to believe. It is in fact, a yeast extract and one of the world's richest food sources of Vitamin B. The two Aussies in our house go through it like crazy. We start eating it as babies. We don't really go home to visit family. We go home to come back with a new haul, such as the one pictured above.
