My ten-month old baby was crying in the car, so I asked his brothers for a solution. "We could sing to him", offered five-year-old eldest. He sang "twinkle twinkle little star" to his brother.

"Look," I said, "He's stopped crying."

Big brother didn't stop there. "Dad," he said, "I'm gonna keep singing until all his tears blow away."

awwwwww...
