Veronica: Paulo is so suave and fast, Lucy didn’t even realise Mike was off his seat!

I do like how the babies are dumped in some sort of wheelbarrow, being carried like manure.

Our school could only afford actual mechanical babies for one year. My class, the year after, got flour sacks dressed in baby clothes.

Easiest child care ever.
