All things sugar and spice

Sitting outside, drinking coffee at the British Library during my lunchbreak, a school party passed by - 4/5/6 year olds. Oddly, they looked American - you know how Americans stand out. But anyway, walking along in pairs, a gentle hub-bub of childish glee; then two girls - blond, bouncy, pink and pastel passed by, and I caught one of those little snippets of ephemera. One said to the other:

Only one nuclear bomb has ever been dropped, and that was in Japan.
More than that, darling - everyday.
