A very small girl sat next to me while I was waiting at the swimming lesson, said hi and asked me if I had any kids. I said yes. Then, to be cute, I asked if she did. She very seriously replied that she didn't, but she had a brother.

this morning my kid was worrying about the writing he had to do when he got to school, where he had to choose a word and write about it. Something to do with the big buddy programme? Dunno. I suggested the word badonkadonk. Because I am helpful!!!!!!!

My story is: the last xmas before the bookshop closed, I sold Sam Neill heaps of books (so many we had to box them up and courier them to his house) and I was super, super dorky to him and he ignored the dorky parts of what I was doing. RIP for that, and the rest.

The ball is complete. Apparently it is worth *at least* $150 because it took so long to make. Only serious offers considered

Poor NZ teachers having to send home the new school report formats with action-points for "help at home" like this ludicrously unrealistic one. Leave the kids alone!

Support your child to write two or more paragraphs, focusing on delivering a clearly sequenced and articulated story.

I need to tell you: in 30 mins we're going out so my kid can perform in the school kapa haka for the first time and he's decided right now is when he needs to go outside to collect dirt to make into a ball he can "sell for $1000" because he saw it on TV???

My 10yo chihuahua had nine manky teeth extracted today, and now it seems her tongue pokes out slightly, constantly, as there are no front teeth left to keep it in. No pics, for dignity.
