This is a real exchange I overheard between a mother and her little girl while out shopping.
I’ve reproduced it as faithfully as memory allows:
Child (pointing at a food bank):
What are those for?
Mother:
They are banks set up to make sure no little children go hungry.
You see, some mummies and daddies don’t have jobs, and can’t afford to put food in their children’s tummies.
Child (enthusiastically):
It’s a good job you have one to put food in mine!
Mother:
Yes.
But it would be good if daddy got one too, wouldn’t it.
