I have two posts in drafts and intended to finish and post them today, however after having taken Malina for a walk to the nearby forest in search of foxes I thought I would recall the story that she told me on the journey:
Once upon a time there was a little girl called Michalina who never tidied up her room. And one day her Daddy said “Michalina, why haven’t you tidied your room” Michalina said “I don’t know”
One day Mummy came to her room and said “Michalina why haven’t you tidied your room” “I don’t know”
At this point I asked her why hadn’t she tidied her room, to which she relied “I don’t know”
Quickly followed by “The End”
Winkos: a straw bale building adventure in Poland 
This is such a sweet post.
Cheers V 🙂
Anytime Eddy.
I have a 27 year old son with the same problem… sort of 🙂 Very forgivable in an adorable little one like yours.
Adorable, but knows it 🙂
Don’t they all! 🙂
Elephants? I love Elephants but had no idea they lived in Poland! 🙂
What were you going to do if you found foxes? Invite them home to tidy up Michaliana’s room?
Mr Fox is a well know trumpet player and his wife, Mrs Fox, plays the piano. Lilly, our yellow chicken who now lives with a neighbour, because of the buzzards, likes to jam with them. With all this in mind I guess they would have all come round and messed up the room even more, but at least it wouldn’t be Malinas fault 🙂
Takes me back to when mine were little, by they are both bigger than me now Ed…….
Come on Al, they were bigger than you by the time they were 6 🙂
It’s true 😀
Great story from an adorable little girl! 🙂
Thank you! She certainly knows how to spin them and us 🙂
I’ve tried similar stories with my wife…it doesn’t work when you’re older. In ten short years, she’ll be a teenager. Best of luck to you. 🙂
Thank you for reminding me Pat 🙂 I imagine by then I will just be the taxi driver!
Wow, you fell into that trap! Now I’d better go tidy my room.
She announced later in the day that I was not to enter her room as it was dangerous!
I took a sneaky look, on the advice of Mum, to discover a freshly drawn on wall. Never a dull moment 🙂
Cute kid . . . just so you know, “I don’t know” soon will change to “I don’t want to!”
. . . later, it goes to “I don’t care” and as in our old age it’s back to “I don’t know”.
Thank you! My dilemma is should I be teaching Malina I do not or I don’t?
I have already realised that this is the extent of my influence, she is too free spirited to except any other guidance.
Awaiting fox news…
A representative from the ‘Progressive child \ animal communication department of Poland’ said “I don’t know where the foxes are” However it turns out that the ‘representative’ was some Polish speaking bloke they found in a bar 🙂
Wow she’s cute! 😀 I can absolutely identify with her too, lol.

I have already decided that she can do whatever she wants as long as she doesn’t get arrested! There is no arguing with her 🙂
Superb! Now I haven’t tidied …. finished …
also … the end.
I think the secret is to know when you are beat 🙂
The logic of small children is perfect. We can learn from them.
Glad she had a good birthday. We should all have good birthdays, even when we are older than 3.
Best wishes to all, Pete.
I keep checking her ears to make sure they are not going Spock like!
Too true about birthdays Pete, I will try my best in a weeks time 🙂 Just back from our neighbours and he has enjoyed the weekend of his 🙂
I am planning a whole week in March myself!
Sweet! I hope you also found some fox (es) 🙂 to see! She is adorable!
We found the foot prints of Red Deer, Wolves and Elephants! 🙂
Lovely!
Malina said thank you 🙂 She plans of writing her own book of short stories called ‘I don’t know!’ 🙂
Go for it, Malina! 🙂
Haha great story, and one I can relate to! (I haven’t tidied my room either 🙂 )
And what can I say to that? 🙂
I don’t know! 😉
