Overheard as I nipped out for a salad at lunchtime.
Community Support Officer (CSO) to small boy holding brightly coloured spade and castle bucket (of which I am ever so slightly envious): Are you going to the beach to build a sandcastle?
Small boy: Yes, I'm going with Mummy and Gran, and I'm going to build the biggest sandcastle!
Thoughtful pause
Small boy: Are you going to arrest someone and put them in jail?
CSO (valiantly stifling laughter): Not right now, no.
Small boy: Oh well - maybe later?
Poor child, he really wasn't quite sure why all the adults around him had creased up in giggles. Oh, and before you think I'm too crazy - I work in Birmingham, possibly the furthest city from the sea in the UK, and yes, we have a beach. It's fake - if you fancy a trip to see it, all the details are here.
