Yeah, but you could blame that on poor teaching from the history department. (I would, anyway!!!)

Sadly, this was in a history lesson, when the teacher had only just started the lesson by telling the students the year the war started. So I should probably blame the maths teachers... :lol:

Lally coaches gym on a Saturday. The littlest ones that she coaches are 5years old. One of them asked her if she had children. (Lally is 15 and found this hilarious)

Lally - 15?? When did that happen?

The other day, Thomas was playing with a foam dagger and hit me on the shoulder. He said 'I didn't hurt you Mummy, I just cut your head off'....

after browsing a few threads I've decided to post this here
It may de rail this thread for awhile though so if anyone wants to move it go ahead

now normally i don't have anything to put on this thread

and i still don't


but in march
i should be able to put some "noises" down

fingers crossed

and if that's too cryptic I'll be surprised

Well, it's not often we enjoy the company of a six-year-old... :D

Grandad to Thomas (not being familiar with the Iron-Man image ): "What's that T-shirt you're wearing today?"
Thomas to Grandad: "....um.... - it's the one I wore yesterday!"

My son this morning after being woken by strange sounds outside his bedroom window as a man worked on the guttering.....

Son "Is there a man on the conservatory?"
Me "Yes"
Son " I thought it was a pigeon, but I opened the curtains and there was a pair of legs! "
