I did that once at a birthday party. 21 weeks pregnant and someone asked when I was due. The look of horror was priceless. I had a good laugh and so did she. Her friends were in the toilets (ladies public bathroom) just about, or maybe did, wet themselves from laughing at the overheard conversation.

How much would it cost to install recycled water pipes to houses I wonder. Maybe even just new developments. Use that water for toilet, laundry, garden hose. Probably cost prohibitive to have a dual supply when technically both are drinkable / potable water supplies.

My 4 yr old refused to try lettuce and by extension spinach. Had a bite of my spinach and ricotta pastry roll one day. Now demands them at the bakery. Also will try anything if I say it has spinach in it.

Also stole some of my ceasar salad I had on the bench for lunch, now loves (home made only) ceasar salad. Won't eat a bowl, but I make a double batch as she'll sit there and demand constant forkfulls of my bowl.

Been travelling in an RV for a while now. Family of 3. Have 3 forks, 2 knives (because adults cut the kid's food) and 4 plates since you need somewhere to put food off the BBQ that isn't someone's plate. It's glorious. So easy to clean up.

I defrost wrapped in a tea towel on the bench. If you defrost it in open air, I find it goes a little stale.

The Wiggles alphabet song says this too. Although that I get since they export to the states now. It might even introduce American kids to the Zed.

Playschool is unforgivable. That's our national kids show and should be Australian.

I have actually worked at a place that said that and it was almost legit. The owner lived interstate and would fly in take everyone to a restaurant for lunch at least monthly. When a family member of his died he gave time off for all the staff and flew an all expenses paid for any one that wanted to go to the funeral. He would regularly invite any staff (open invitation) and spouses and kids to see games with his and his family, all paid for (including alcohol). We also got flown to his state to attend a milestone birthday, all expenses paid, including spouses. Spouses were always included and kids invited where it was practical.

Annual raises without asking. Random bonuses, especially when a business deal went well.

That place was eccentric, but it actually did feel like we were being looked after.
