During this week of family meetups

my five-year-old-niece went to visit her uncle-who-lives-in-a-palace 

The palace has shiny parquet floors and is decorated with many glass orbs and other delicacies. The niece and her brother are very lively and nosey people.

The uncle laid out ground rules:
no sliding on the floors, no looking in cupboards, don't touch this or that or that

the niece listened then asked

can we fart?

    1. She was told that there was a special farting garden if she needed to use it

    1. I dreamed of living in a house with layers of slidey banisters and polished floors

  4. No chance of slipping and sliding here - I can barely keep my floors swept, never mind polished to slidable standard. I like the idea of a fart garden;sounds very Georgian and grand.
