I was treating the kids to a Maccas breakfast a few months back.
Waiting patiently at the McCafe, Master 5 (at the time) brings it to my attention that a policeman is about to walk though the door. My children love police people, or anyone in uniform for that fact. He proceeds to wave and jump around like an excited puppy. The police man places his order and starts talking to the kids as by now Master 8 and Miss 4 have enjoyed the excited, yelping Master 5. The police man kindly and patiently starts taking items off his belt, then showing and explaining each item. Kids voices building higher and higher with excitement. Well.. he pulls out the handcuffs...
Master 5 exclaims at the top of his voice at a now crowded with the morning rush, Maccas, 'my mum has them hanging up in her bedroom!'. I nearly died. I dared not look at the 30 or so eyes wide eyed with amusement, gazing at me waiting for a reaction. Quite calmly I say 'Yes I do master 5, aren't you observant.' I pick up my waiting drink and walk off. Leaving kids to still keep viewing the police mans items on his belt.
Kids are far too observant.
