mid - “fat” is not a word I generally use, but the children have picked it up elsewhere. They generally use it to describe my stomach, but as I say to them - it’s not a bad stomach for a woman of my age!

SAHD - I must get Mike to read your blog as he’ll shortly be a SAHD. I think he’s looking forward to it, but is also feeling fear and trepidation. As both our children are at school, it’s hardly as onerous as your task.

Lady - I’m always asking teachers things they can’t answer - keeps them on their toes. I also like to put comments on any homework with unintelligible instructions. I’m probably a real pain to have as a parent.

I LOVE the photograph! That’s one of our jobs as parents eh? to fill in the blanks left by school. At my daughter’s school the teacher spent TWENTY MINUTES on world religions. My daughter said, “Would you like my mother to come in and speak? She will and she knows a lot about this.”

“Oh no dear, thank you, but we’re all done.”

Yikes! That paired with her statement, “You know mum teachers don’t like it when you ask them questions they don’t know the answers to.” had me deeply involved in her studies from that point.

And how many furlongs?

The one I like is that the darker the fruit (vegetable?) the better it is for you. Blackberries over melon anyday.

I’d like to say something witty, pithy or even add my own examples, but as I have just consumed a barrel-load of wine (and only in response to the first sign of stress) I’ll just say awwwwwwwwww, that’s soo cute!…but what’s all this about being fat??
