One of the most common forms of deception used by toddlers is pretending to not hear a request from their parents like “time to tidy up.” The way round this is to mix the request with a sound all children can hear, like the rustling of a crisp packet two rooms away. #BTN #BTNNB #BTNRejects #jokes

Cocaine worth an estimated £600,000 was found in a car just outside Locaber. Police aren't sure who could manage such a huge quantity of the drug, but noted that Michael Gove had been seen pacing outside his house all morning. #BTN #BTNNB #BTNRejects #jokes
