I was in a phone shop yesterday when a six year-old boy started talking to me.

"Does your phone do pictures?" he asked me.

"No."

"Are you here for a new phone?"

"Yes."

"So are we!"

"You know, I think you'll find quite a lot of people in a mobile phone sho.."

(interrupting me) "My Daddy's brung his old phone to have it takeaway."

"..taken away..?"

"My new Daddy's phone's got a camera!"

Suddenly, a leather-jacketed figure at the counter turned around.

"James! It's 'Daddy's new phone,' not 'new Daddy's phone'!"

I laughed so hard I nearly took the boy's eye out with spine of the phone catalogue I was reading.
