One of our youngest insiders recorded the following exchange at Kirribilli Kindie…


Master John (waving a jewel-encrusted rattle):

Master Peter: Not fair! I want da big rattle now. My turn. MY TURN!
Master John: No. It mine. All mine. Wanna hit Big Fat Kimby on da head again. One two three time hit him on da head! Yippee!

Suddenly a little girl in red diapers appears outside
the playpen:

All three in unison: Wah! Wah! Wah!
