Liam, after his first day in class one

Liam "Hi Mum. When do I start after school care?"
Me "You don't."
Liam "Well, can I?"

Permanent agri/culture is permanent!

Liam had a playdate at a friend's house on Friday afternoon. When I got there the friend's mother was telling me some of the nice/funny things that had happened - like Liam singing the whole of 'Mean to Me' (by Crowded House) with full rock 'n' roll effects and no selfconciousness. (He's learned it by listening to and watching live versions, like the Farewell to the World concert, so he puts in all the extra bits.)

Another thing was when she asked him about permaculture - what it was. His answer? He didn't really know exactly, but he coud tell her it was permanent. And it used potting mix. And was natural.

Five girlfriends and...

I was slightly taken aback this morning to hear Liam tallying up his girlfriends, which is a term I've never heard him use before.

"There's A and S and G..." he said, counting on his fingers, "So I've got three girlfriends."

But then he started another tally:

"And there's I and B, and R and A, so I've got four boyfriends."

After a little further thinking the final tally came out even - my son has five girlfriends and five boyfriends. Cute.
