MY granddaughter, who is three years old, went on an outing to Chester Zoo with her parents, where they bought an inflatable giraffe.

They attend the local Pentecostal Church, so my granddaughter is learning bits of Bible stories.

On their return, her mum told her to show her grandad her giraffe. She went running over to her grandad with the blown up giraffe.

He said: "Ek'e, Moses."

She quickly replied: "They don't call it Moses, grandad."

I couldn't help but smile to myself.
