A menagerie of mental images

  1. Zach, stark naked, springing to and fro on his bed, a metre at a time and up to half a metre high. A voice can be heard in between the groans of the bed: “"my a frog!”
  2. Climbing stairs, an almost-three-year-old boy rolls along on all fours making quiet ‘ook’ noises and suggesting that my, in fact, a spider monkey.
  3. Zach standing on one leg with the other tucked into his knee, stark naked (some children suck their thumbs – ours wears no clothes) and dripping wet, grinning and declaring “my a flamingo!”
  4. “My a giraffe”, but only when I threatened to eat the flamingo.
