The Mumpreneur Diaries

Beware - he's loud and a very, very, VERY rude boy who needs to wash his mouth out with soap. And he very obviously doesn't have to try and do his job while a 13 month-old child dangles from his trouser leg. At least I think that's what he's doing...

Ha ha. Ahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (and note the contrast between Obama kissing the baby and Bush doing same...)

The media has itself in a froth about schools in the South of England closing because of a gentle dusting of snow. Being from oop north myself, we'd sit in class, teeth chattering, frost forming on the inside of the windows begging for a snow day. One would be begrudgingly given if the snow topped five feet and the boiler packed up. 


And yet I still don't begrudge the sissy sassenachs their snow (frost?) day. It happens rarely enough as it is and a sudden unexpected blast of good fortune is what makes childhood memorable. The children weren't in class learning about the Battle of Agincourt or how many fathoms in a farthingale or somesuch. However, they got important practical demonstrations of projectiles, the Battle of Hastings and pure, unadulterated, not-sponsored-by-Sony-or-Apple FUN! C'mon guys - the kids are alright!!


(and face it, we got a duvet day too, right?)
