A proud dad moment yesterday.
Little kid’s year group had their annual “Dancing with Don” day — learning and rehearsing all morning, and culminating in a performance for parents in the school hall at the end of the school afternoon.
Halfway way through the show, my lad took centre stage.
To everyone’s surprise and delight, and especially mine and his mum’s, he performed a Michael Jackson moonwalk!

Little kid came over to me, sat on my knee and gazed lovingly into my eyes.
Smiling sweetly at me, he gently stroked my forehead and said:
You’re even more bald than I thought!
Little kid has been finding, photographing and naming plants at school, so we did a little homework this afternoon.
He knows what a daisy looks like, but he thought that dandelions were sunflowers. “How does the lion get in?” he asked.

Apologies for the break in transmission. Last month I went out for a couple of pints with @andyc@mastodon.me.uk and it took me this long to recover.
The Art of the Deal
Evolution of negotiations with my little kid during the last week:
Me: it’s time to stop gaming now.
Little kid: * throws gaming device across floor, attempts to decapitate me with a kung fu kick to the head *
Me: how about you get in the bath, count to ten, and then you can get out?
LIttle kid: TWENTY! Twenty and I’m in!
Me: hey, do you want to make a deal and get in the bath?
Little kid: ok. I’m in.
Trigger warning.
