Scott: What are we going to talk about?
Well, we’re on holiday…
Scott: Yeah.
How’s your first day been?
Scott: It’s not my first day.
What is it?
Scott: Eh… Hang on, counting…Seven… Five… Three… 21st day.
I don’t understand.
Scott: You don’t understand if you put all the time we’ve been here together that’s three… a total of 21…
21 what?
Scott: 21 days here – duh.
In total?
Scott: Yeah – duh.
More than that actually, I think.
Scott: Oh… 14 and eight… How many weeks have we been here forever? Ever?
I can’t remember – this is the fifth time, I think.
Scott: Fifth week… So 21 times seven… I mean, hang on – seven times three is 21?
Yes it is.
Scott: And then… Add on 14… 21… Add on 14… Is it… (pause) 35?
Yes, it is. Are you having a good holiday so far?
Scott: Yeah, but I just can’t do anything right today. But you’ve got us a ticket each for the night of a 1000 millionaires. What happens when you win the Lottery? Do you go on the TV or something? 100 UK millionaires in one day…
You might find out tomorrow…
Scott: Eh… We won’t.
Helen: Imagine a Mummy bought a Lottery ticket for a baby and the next day the baby won.
Scott: That’s not funny.
Helen: Ga ga goo goo.
Scott: And the baby bought a big bag of rubbish with the money…
Helen: And he did a big smelly poo! Silly baby!

So many exciting things happened today, Scott forgot he also did a bungee trampoline…
Our first full day – how was it?
Scott: Good.
What did we do?
Scott: We… Eh… (huge pause) Yeah?
What did we do?
Scott: Oh! We went top Cream O Galloway… Eh…
How was it?
Scott: Good.
What did you do?
Scott: Em… Had an ice cream.
Anything else?
Scott: Eh… Played in the hard play and that’s probably all. Apart from Helen getting a ginormous nosebleed.
We also went shopping in Castle Douglas.
Scott: Yeah.
Did you get anything?
Scott: A really big bag of Lego Bionicle for £3, with all the instructions booklets.
Was that the best bit of today?
Scott: Yeah.
Did you have anything nice to eat?
Scott: Eh… What did we have again? Oh yeah – I liked my pie.
What kind was it?
Scott: Eh… I don’t know, I forgot.
You seem really tired…
Scott: (inaudible)
I think you should head to bed…
Scott: Hey – I thought you said you would build some Bionicle figures? You told a lie! True. Build me some Bionicle figures. Let’s just finish, this blog is humiliating enough…

So, this morning we watched some Olympics…
Scott: Yeah.
Then we went to Caerlaverock Castle…

Scott: Yeah.
And what did we do?

You did something with other children.
Scott: Child-ren.
That’s what I said.
Scott: I know. How? What? When?
What did you do?
Scott: What did I do?
You had that big fight?
Scott: Oh yeah! That was awesome!
You fought a girl.

Scott: Chocolate.
Was it good?
Scott: Yeah.
Then you played with Cameron next door.
Scott: Yeah.
How was that?
Scott: Great.
Are you going to try and see him tomorrow?
Scott: I’d like to get a portable DVD played like he does.
What would you do with it?
Scott: Watch movies on it – duh. I mean, seriously – duh.

What did we do today?
Scott: Eh… We just had another day on Planet Earth.
Helen: You mean on the Douglas Day?
Scott: Oh, you’re such a pain Helen.
What was the best bit of today?
Scott: Eh… Probably walking to the island.
Helen: Probably finding all those creatures.
What creatures?
Helen: The ones that we could on our own, all those ones.
When we went pond dipping?
Helen: Yeah.
What did we catch?
Helen: Green eary-wigs.
Then we came home for lunch, then we went to Cream O Galloway for their special Gala Day.
Helen: Yeah.
And what did we do there?
Scott: We went pond dipping again.
Helen: And got ice cream.
Scott: Yeah, yeah – I went on the death cannon and three times I went on the flying fox.
How was the flying fox?
Scott: Awesome.
How was the death slide?
Scott: Really good.
Even though you thought it was scary?
Scott: I really liked it, now I look back at it. I went “wooooo” for about one second, then I was at the bottom. I mean, it literally seemed like one second – I nearly peed in my pants.
Then we went to Carrick beach and walked across to the island.
Scott: Yeah – I thought I said that, didn’t I?
So you liked it, even though you didn’t want to do it?
Scott: Em… Yeah.

Then we went and had fish and chips.
Scott: Yeah.
How was that?
Scott: Em… Good.
Then we went to the wildlife park.
Scott: Yeah.
What did we do there?
Scott: Saw some animals.
Did you touch any?
Scott: Yeah. I touch a few guinea pigs and held a snake round my neck.
Were you scared?
Scott: Nope.
Did it not try to strangle you?
Scott: Well, I’m alive right now… (under breath) That’s a pretty dumb question…
We played Dictionary – and you and Mummy beat me and Helen.
Scott: Yeah – ha ha ha…
