Thankyou Lady of leisure!
My two little ones were just drinking their milk before bedtime while the eldest (three) regaled me with stories of their visit to the local farm. It seems they had fed all kinds of animals and a puppy had even eaten her cake.

When she told me they'd seen a Llama, EvilArgyle (he's red and sits on my right shoulder) immediately thought of Lady of Leisure's story of shiraffes. GoodArgyle was busy watching cbeebies and didn't have much to say.

"Did you know that when you have a mummy sheep and a daddy giraffe you get a baby llama?"

"Really? That's amazing!"

"Aww - that's sweet," I hear you say. And it would have been, apart from that fact that it was my wife that said it.

Yes, she believed me. As outrageous a claim as it was, she believed me. One hundred percent. Without a shadow of a doubt.

I only stopped laughing after she kicked me in the nutsack.
