Elizabeth: Oh, Mummy, do look at this. I have just turned the heel all by myself. Mummy: You are a clever girl! I think you could take over running the country. Don't you think so Daddy?
Daddy: Yes, I am sure she can, but she will need to finish that second sock, before I let her give it a try.
Margaret: That is so unfair. Elizabeth gets to do everything first - running the country, learning to knit and you will probably find a prince for her to marry one day, too.
Mummy: Don't worry about it. Running a country is really not all it is cracked up to be.
Elizabeth: What a silly girl you are. I will have to marry a fusty old prince, but you will be able to choose whomever you like. Won't she Mummy?
Sulky Margaret: Oh, whatever! Mummy, when are we going to stop these silly poses for the photographer? I want to kick off my shoes again and put my feet up on the couch.

Ahhhhh, there is that finishing the second sock thing again!!! You can still be clever and not have completed knitting two socks!
