Five o'clock tea

Every respectable lady takes her tea at five o'clock. Our highness, Sophia, is no exception. Today, we were awoken by our child at 4:30 in the morning. Sophia has requested that we serve her tea. She had a low grade fever, accompanied by the cough, runny nose and complaints of the ear ache, so we rushed to oblige. Sophia obidiently accepted Motrin (for those not familiar with american pharmaceutical titles, it is medication that, along with other miraculous effects, reduces fever), and we have moved to the kitchen. Twenty minutes later, it was apparent that Sophia was feeling much better, as she has insisted on having her breakfast prepared without any further ado. We have tried to persuade our daughter that breakfast is usually served after the sun has risen, or at least after 6:30 in the a.m., alas, to no avail. In light of abovementioned illness, we have succumbed. Sophia has requested scrambled eggs, with capers. The eggs were immediately preparedl; capers, on the other hand, were nowhere to be found. Followed by a frantic 15-minute search, accompanied by whining Sophia who had refused all other alternatives, we have given up. The eggs were replaced by the serving of cereal, at which point Sophia has declared that she no longer wishes to dine, and is ready to retire. By that point, Sophia's younger brother has remembered that he hasn't been served breakfast, either, and has declared his dissatisfaction. Rushing to please the man, I had hoped that Sophia gratiously accept the care of her loving father. Not without a debate, she finally crawled into our bed and gave out a much anticipated snore. Good day, ma'am. Sophia is feeling much better, thank you.

Sophisms:

В наклоненном кресле, в машине
-Я сижу или лежу?
-Ты полу-лежишь.
-На каком полу?

Урок английского:
-Скажи по-английски, сколько тебе лет?
-Three and a half
-А когда тебе будет четыре, что ты скажешь?
-Я хочу вино

--Что такое коньяк?
-Это такое пиво

Саша, помыв велосипед:
-Садись, я его протеp
София: -Ну пусть он стоит такой, протерлый
