Kudos to you and Grizzle, I'll be sending off your mother of the year nomination today.
I had a little blush recently when my eldest explained to a guest of ours that our catfish was called John Howard 'coz he's a scum sucking bottom dweller'...here's hoping that one doesn't get mentioned at school.
In my experience, you can't really control that stuff.
I recently heard a hair-raising story about four year olds and pornography via childcare - thank goodness I don't have to explain that one to Grizzle yet.
Secondly, my favourite ever kindergarten story goes to a former colleague of mine. His four year old daughter put a teatowel on her head while playing dressups. It was a couple of months after September 11 2001 and he took one look at her and said "oh, are you Sally bin Laden?"
Sure enough, the next day at kindergarten, young Sally put a tea towel on her head and yelled "look at me, everyone, I'm Sally bin Laden".
I think everyone freaked out a little bit at that point.
Careful what you wish for there are plenty of examples of people who began life at one end of the political spectrum and ended up at the other. Jeffrey Archer is one of them!

PS but I'll bet the teachers prefer YOUR kind of story to the one I heard.
Firstly, excellent work.

I had a slight rant the other day, when Howard annouced his 'Compulsary History' thing... blah blah blah He's such an idealogue blah blah...
The twins are now convinced Howard is an 'Ogglygog' and have also decided it's a Very Bad Thing to be an Ogglygog.
