And then Miss E said…

Thursday, July 3, 2008

Sometimes Miss E gets a little fed up of her little sister’s questions. They come thick and fast and are often repeated, ridiculous and random. Generally Miss E copes very well. She is a lovely big sister and answers with patience, sharing her nearly eight year old knowledge with thought and care, [...]

I promised to show you just how tired I was yesterday. That’s a kind of abstract thing to show right? But I can do it as I am clever like that. No I don’t have a special chart that displays levels of tiredness according to eyelid droopage or size and shade of under eyebags. There [...]

Last night I had a dream. It was yet again a slightly weird dream though perhaps not as weird as the one where I had the backside of a yeti or the one where I had, cough, relations with one of the three tenors, but a strange dream nevertheless. There is one part [...]

One of those things you don’t want your kid to say at Nursery

It’s about 5 O’Clock in the afternoon. I’m chatting to a certain person on the phone, when Miss M appears beside me, tugs on my arm and says very loudly; Miss M: “Mummy, Daddy is wearing your pants.” Me: “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.” Holl: “Snort, I’m blogging that.” Kids, don’t you just love ‘em? Please note: He wasn’t, [...]

I’m checking through Miss E’s homework. She has this list of words from which she needs to pick 12 and use them in a sentence. Some of them are kind of unusual and a little old fashioned, especially when you consider this is a piece of work aimed at 7 and 8 [...]
