Re: Dinner
An elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by first graders.

Re: Dinner
John, This from a 3yr old at my daughters Outdoor Nursary? Whilst listening to his extended family discussing baby names for his forthcoming sister who wasn't planned he suggested 'oops a daisy'
The latest from a proud 2yr old just out of nappies and using the 'big' toilet asked the assistant attending him to 'part my cheeks'.....
We both agreed girls are way more independent!!
Hope you have all had your lunch.
