a half dozen ladybirds please

Got back from college tonight to be greeted by Babycake asking me to go to the corner shop with him to buy a Ladybird. I tried to explain to him that you couldn't buy them but in the end I took him down the shop. You can't imagine anything cuter than watching Babycake ask the shopkeeper for a Ladybird. Unfortunately they didn't have any. Babycake seemed to accept this bad news in good cheer.
