Ever had the feeling your life's been flushed down the toilet?

"Jason was always finding bones in the great big field where they dug the peat for the winter fires."

"Emily stopped yelling and started happily slurping her way through an ice cream."

A long time ago, when there were dragons and wicked witches and knights in armour and fairy tales were true, there lived a beautiful princess called Princess Candyland."

"Allison's little brother Jason was four weeks old when it happened."

"Mr Stink stank. He also stunk."

"There was once a line of mountains, tall and proud, each with a hat of snow, running all the way from Texas to Korea"

"He was especially tired of having to live in the same house as that grumbly Grandma. Looking after her all by himself was hardly the most exciting way for Sam to spend a Saturday morning."

"Ivonne!" Allison shouted to her friend. "Would you please shut that window..."

"When I was four months old, my mother died suddenly and my father was left to look after me all by himself."
