Me: ‘have you had a good day then?’
My Son: ‘Yes, I really enjoyed it’
Me: ‘Did you talk to lots of other children?’
My Son: ‘Yes, and I made friends with a girl from London’
Me: ‘Wow! So there’s another English girl there?’
My Son: ‘Yes she doesn’t speak much English, just ‘oui”
Me: ‘Errrrr…’
My Son: ‘And she has London on her t-shirt’
Me: ‘Wait…so was she from London or did she just have London on her t-shirt?’
My Son: (talking to me in a tone reserved for simpletons) ‘She was from London!’
Me: ‘Oh great, so you have an English friend then?’
My Son: ‘Yes, but she doesn’t talk much English’
I give up at this point and turn my attention to my daughter, who is happily munching an apple.
Me: ‘Did you have a good first day?’
My Daughter: ‘Yes!’
Me: ‘Did you talk to many people?’
My Daughter: (smiling) ‘I didn’t talk to anybody’
We found out a couple of days later that the girl in question was not actually English, she just wore a t-shirt with ‘London’ written on it. Honestly, six-year-olds, eh? The Enigma machine has nothing on them!

Well, at least your son is consistent! 🙂

Yes, his tagline should be ‘Consistently Confusing, Since 2010’ 🙂

He seems to be in training to be a husband or a politician. Or both.

I’ve honestly no idea where his future lies – he’s very creative so he will more than likely wander into the artistic field. My daughter – based on her interests and behaviour so far – is headed towards worldwide domination, it would not surprise me in the slightest if I came home one day to discover she’d built a lair inside a volcano. In our back garden.
