Sophy: I'm bored.
Me: Sorry, I'm busy.
Sophy: There are treats in the oven...
Me: I know. They aren't ready yet.
Sophy, after some gentle sighing and meandering: I think I need a pee...
I get up, and open the front door.
Sophy: Oh... It's raining...
Me: There's a dry patch under the planter.
Sophy: I don't think I need to go after all.
Five minutes later
Sophy: I'm bored and I need a pee!
Get up, find leads, chivvy both dogs round to their favourite pee spot, stand in the pouring rain while they find the right spot, then paddle back to the house behind them.
Five minutes later
Sophy: I'm still bored. Are the treats ready yet?
Me: SOPHY! Settle down, I'm BUSY!!
Sophy: I can't settle down, Poppy's in my bed!
Me: Use the other one!
Sophy: Pippin's in that one...
I get up and move one of the empty beds to Sophy's favourite spot. Sophy promptly jumps into my chair, then takes one look at me and decides the bed might be safer. Everything is peaceful.
And I have completely forgotten what it was I was trying to get done...!
