Those lovely boys

Last night, two emails from 6-yr-old nephew - who never emails.

'hello'

'how are you?'

I probably won't get another for a year, but these wee fragments make me smile.

I spoke with 10-yr-old last week. I joked with him - is the pilot wearing pants today? He replied earnestly, Yes! and told me what colour of boxers he got for his birthday. Not really dark blue, not really light blue. (Our in-joke - when we played at air traffic controllers last time I had to report him for not wearing pants in the cockpit.)
