Just had a conversation with Beautiful Daughter, who has the attention span of a heavily caffeinated Jack Russel puppy. Apart from anything else she's been given a dress by a larger friend which had pretty flowers and frilly bits so she was very excited because it flows about when she danced.
I don't know what they were called, but do you remember those toys with a sucker and a spring? You would press them on a surface and after a short time the spring would overcome the sucker and they'd shoot up in the air. That's Beautiful Daughter in conversation; she'll ask a question and you've got about 3.43 seconds before the spring goes and she's onto something else, like the neighbours tree, or her new dance move she's learning, or a book she happens to look at.
It's great fun as long as you accept you're a spectator and enjoy the show...
