tee-hee! love the quotes - a welcome giggle while procrastinating on writing a funding proposal. glad I'm not the only one with irrational food preferences :)
D would probably be in his element here - the kids seem to subsist on biscuits, chips, really sweet icy poles and two minute noodles (sometimes seen wandering around sucking on flavouring sachets, adults and children both).
aparently the package with D's birthday prezzie arrived at M&D's yesterday (via people in some other street where it was incorrectly delivered). unexpectedly fast!
Yep, maybe it was the presence of the PNG fertility idol you sent. He's turned into a Melanesian on the inside, and he absolutely loves the Brothers...
2 minute noodles are my current nemesis - they have them at the supposedly healthy canteen and they are all D want to eat.
Sounds like the present is here at a perfect time, N is going away this week, so I'll have 2 weeks of D full time, and any distractions will be welcome!
Laughing a lot at the last few posts. We're working on saying "I don't care for that" rather than making horrible faces and gagging noises when faced with food she doesn't like. Mary is currently the bad word police and is constantly reprimanding us for using even relatively mild words, like "ass". 9 years olds are very rigid. I'd rather have her swearing some days :)
Oh yes, middle childhood and 'rules'. I can't wai.t I've pointed out the some language is appropriate for some situations and not others. We seem to be going OK so far, but hard to tell. I keep meaning to ask the teacher how his language is at school...
I like "I don't care for that" but I can't see it working here, but i think that he eats things better for other people. I think it's not about 'like' and 'don't like' as much as being a power game.
