Little Pip-Speaks: Volume 37

Fin basically wrote this installment's intro, when I was asking them random conversation starter questions recently:
 
Fin: Ooh you should ask us "What do you like most about kids being young?" If I was a grown up I would say "How funny they are." Because they say stuff wrong and it’s hilarious. 
 
Too true, Finney girl.
