We have been out and about today.

We went to the library to get some books for homeschooling.

We bought some new gumboots and shoes for the boys as they won’t stop growing darn it.

On the way home, we were talking.

And Celtic Dingo said to me, ‘Mum, when I was born I thought it was Finbar who lived and Celtic Lad who died.’

‘Did you?’ I said, smiling to myself.

He has often said this.

‘Yes, I was confused.’ CD replied.

CD is younger than CL by 15 months.

CL pips up, ‘But CD, you weren’t even born when Finbar and I were born. You only met me.’

CD replied ‘I know, but I thought you were Finbar when I met you when I was a baby.’

CL said ‘But you were a baby. You didn’t know about Finbar.’

CD replied ‘Yes I did. Mum told me when I was in her tummy.’

Thing is …… I did.

I looked at him and I am sure my face said it all. He smiled at me all knowingly like.

‘Do you remember me talking to you when you were in my tummy?’

‘Yes.’ said Celtic Dingo.

Thing is, in that moment, I believed him.
