OK, gag reflexes at the ready....


You'll pardon me for showing off, but my eldest just got his first report

card the other day, with a closing statement as follows:


"Other Areas of the Curriculum: Ben shows enjoyment of all areas of the

curriculum with particular strengths in construction and information

technology."


Not bad for a 4 (going on 5) year old - but I was even more impressed when,

the day after I showed him my latest book, he brought home a book he had

started at school for *me* - I was so touched. With a bit of help from Mummy

(who listened to what he wanted to write and then told him which letters to

use for the words) he had finished a great little book after school with the

following classics (and yes, I'm quoting word for word):


- About the Internet

- Logging onto another.com

- What to do when you get to the wrong website

- Words for your page


Needless to say, I'm chuffed that he knows so much about what I do - I meet

adults who don't get it.
