I think it's just a kind of parallel universe to them. I heard a story once about a woman who was the head teacher at her own children's school, and sometimes the youngest would say something like 'Mummy, guess what Mrs A said in assembly today...' momentarily fogetting Mrs A was in fact her own mother! <br /><br />I find I like rice in almost every form, gloopy, sticky, brown and chewy...Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-61818658360743698312010-10-11T22:06:07.551+02:002010-10-11T22:06:07.551+02:00Did you get a chance to see Jen, Marq and Amira in...Did you get a chance to see Jen, Marq and Amira in NYC at all?

I thought I was being clever...C looks so grown up!<br /><br />I thought I was being clever by asking, "What was the best thing about today?" But Neal's answer is always the same: playing outside. And Leah's is always reading. Every now and again, though, if I don't say anything after their initial answers, one of them will say, "Oh! Mommy! And guess what else happened today...." And then I will be treated to an account of building the biggest nest of straw the playground has ever known, or the funny thing Stacy did in the hall on the way to the lunchroom, or how much Mrs. Holland loves dogs. Those are good rides home.countrypeapiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276399830149241673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-77353121619946287122010-10-07T17:06:34.785+02:002010-10-07T17:06:34.785+02:00Oh cor, look how C has advanced - a mere two steps...Oh cor, look how C has advanced - a mere two steps away from adulthood. Glad to note the authenticity of the background. Alerted by your earlier posts and pix I sought out this random art-form in Prague but found you'd snaffled the best.<br /><br />Professional experience forced me to re-phrase the eternal parent's question: "How was school today? - and 'all right' won't do." After a month or so I was rewarded by a wary look when hinting I was about to ask about school. Too draconian? Well, the gene skipped a generation and Bella now favours journalism "though not on the sort of dull magazines you worked on, granddad."Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-21174422323329572982010-10-07T16:08:58.100+02:002010-10-07T16:08:58.100+02:00Rice rehab--that just kills me!

It was something that seemed to register and would always lead into a more general conversation. I also discovered that saying "Is there anything else I need to know?" brought all sorts of things to the surface. I still use that one with my teenagers.alice chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969805206040091585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8472241.post-6459061173645005342010-10-06T23:32:28.028+02:002010-10-06T23:32:28.028+02:00Oh yes.
