Toddler hails parents’ urine predicting abilities

A youngster from Gloucester has today paid tribute to his parents’ uncanny ability to predict the future. Two year old Charlie Bennett told reporters ‘It was incredible. We were getting ready to go out when my parents told me I should have a wee before we left the house. I told them I didn’t need one but they insisted that I should try, just in case. I still wasn’t keen, but lo and behold, when I did try I found that I did need one. How could they possibly have known that?’

But not everyone is convinced about the authenticity of Charlie’s parents’ forecasts. ‘They’re charlatans’ argued Michael Dawkins, three year old grandson of professional cynic Richard Dawkins. ‘Time and time again I hear of stories of parents’ alleged clairvoyant powers, but when you actually look at the evidence, the incidences of them getting it right as opposed to getting it wrong are about 50-50’ he said. ‘By the way, you haven’t got a change of underwear on you have you?’
