Meanwhile in England

Mom, I need a pee.
You need a pee, Dee.
Yes, I need a pee.
I need one p to pee.
You need one p two p?
You mean three p Dee.
No, one p to pee.
Ah, one p to pee,
it's twenty to pee.
What's twenty-two pee?
No, it's twenty, to pee
it has never been one p to pee.
It used to be one d to pee Dee
then two p to pee,
and now it's twenty to pee.
You mean twenty p to pee;
What's a d?
A d, Dee is an old p
p for a penny.
Why was it a d if it was a p?
Don't ask me, ask your dad, Dee.
Did you used to go for a dee?
No we just used a d for a pee!
Do you still need a pee, Dee?
Here's twenty to pee.
I thought you said it was twenty, to pee?
It's too late now. I did it for free!

I like when you explain things to kids, and you think you're doing well, and then they tell you, you could have googled that quicker.

This is just fun to read and to see where it leads; whether I can understand it clearly or not.

LOL. Well written. Some things should not take a long time to discuss and the last line points that out.
