@tregeagle it went in the bin!

@vincent ah, it was you!

@andyc Whenever I ask my almost five year old if he wants something for tea he says the same thing. I have to ask him if he wants something "later". And neither of them wanted to get up this morning claiming it wasn't really 7 am.

@andyc oh, come on, Andy!

We all know you just luuurve quizzes.

@ghostdancer it's like an Irish spoon but with a handle.

@lzbth oh we get that, too. The authorities are a little more responsive when it comes to stopping and prosecuting individuals, of course.

@lzbth agree totally and thanks. Tbh, I wouldn't mind so much if he also learns to do what he's told sometimes!

@lzbth Thanks for explaining all of that.

Btw, I wasn't going to shoulder all the blame myself!

We're going through SATs now with our eldest and I'm struck by how much of what he struggles with in maths is not the actual maths, but comprehending the structure and context of the questions - many of which appear designed to confuse and trick.

All very upper/middle class, middle aged, white man clever stuff that's very effective at making my bright mixed race boy feel stupid and worthless.

@luke in a pond?

@andyc probably from the asphalt plant half a mile upwind from us.
