Kyle, obviously over-tired and clearly upset with Elena, was engaging in a bit of an exchange with her, which I elected to keep out of. “Go and live in another house!” he said to her, “for ever!” Then after a moment’s pause, clearly not satisfied with the distance he’d managed to express, he added, “or outer space!” Children just don’t seem to have a rational grasp of the ‘hurt factor’, when they inflict their abuse. Meanwhile, I was biting my lip, trying to stifle my amusement. Needless to say, Elena didn’t share my enjoyment!
