But what about the boat, mummy?

We went to vote after work/school the other day. Philip was pretty excited about it. I couldn't figure out why, but you never know what'll get a kid going, so whatever.

We get tot he polling station. Philip is asking all sorts of questions about what's happening, how it works, etc. I'm loving this oh-so-serious conversation we're having.

I even let him make my "X" on my ballot.

When HB and I finished, and we were heading back outside, Philip stopped in the hallway.

He asked, all confused: "But what about the boat, mummy?"
I looked at him, confused too: "What boat?"
Philip: "The BOAT. We didn't see the BOAT."
Me: "WHAT boat?!?"
Philip: "You told me we're going to a boat!"

??

Philip still can't pronounce his Vs. They still sound like Bs.
His vote sounds like boat.

And, to make it more believable, our polling station was a the pool where he's had swimming lessons.
