Universal Applicability
One of the most delightful aspects of growing up, for parents at least, is how kids apply what they learn to new situations, often in an incredibly apt and surprising manner. All too frequently I assume the information hasn’t penetrated, or if it has, it’s never likely to see the light of day again. But that just goes to show what a narrow-minded skeptic I truly am.
Hence I’m busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner, peeling potatoes, chopping carrots and frying onions, the basics for many a meal. The aroma permeates the household, warm, piquant and inviting, when I hear a commonplace noise from my youngest. He stumbles through the kitchen, a la ‘Lawrence of Arabia in the Desert’– clutching his throat with gagging noises. But he pauses a moment, pinches his nostrils firmly closed, hits the extractor fan button and announces in a nasal tone, “You know Mom, I fink it’s time for a courtesy flush.”
Meanwhile, if you still have the chance to win a copy of DJ Kirkby’s Without Alice – just read the post and leave a comment. I think I’ll keep this open until the 1st of December and then it will make a great Holiday gift for some lucky person.

I’m so glad to see you’re still here! I must be having feed issues. I had been wondering about your lack of updates, but assumed you were just on a blog hiatus. Now, to catch up on what I’ve missed…

I mean, are you afraid he might tell the annoying Mommy-wimminz who comment here to eff off? Really, more Boy-type commenting is needed here. I seem to be the only xy person who ever makes a comment.
