DSO let's hope the Kinder teacher is on side with the pesce-hominids! Very true Mary - the scary thing is now that she’s at Kinder she can check our answers with an impartial third party.

They will typically strike when you are weary (which, let's face it, when AREN'T you weary?). Big Sis will also throw you by asking other questions at the same time, sometimes interspersing them so that you don't know whether to look for a pattern or not. For example, this morning, it wasn't just about mythical pesce-hominids and their bowel movements. She also challenged me about 'why camels don't get sunburnt'. That question seemed as innocuous as the one about mermaid poo at the time. However, I'm now worried about her follow-on question tomorrow morning.... Maybe DSO will have to go to work early? It’s not just the questions, it’s the timing and the wider strategy.
