I found that sarcasm is ..."See above" ... I found that sarcasm is not always appreciated by teachers, but it's a great tool later in life. And I, too, tailored The Live Acorn's activities when she was younger based upon future earnings potential. She was the only one in 1st grade who could properly fill out a Power Ball lottery ticket.The Dead Acornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07181757029391161049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643066160382165031.post-52411239133923641162010-09-24T09:55:22.744+01:002010-09-24T09:55:22.744+01:00Niamh - I wonder too... his parents are such shy r...Niamh - I wonder too... his parents are such shy retiring types.<br><br>TFE - Thank you for your support. It means a lot.<br><br>Tituts - Love your tips on the speech therapy, i think I'll give it a go. It'll make me feel better at the very least. But I have to say, what with all the Oub children needing speech therapy at some pointover the reads, I've been considering shoring up my cash crisis by setting up as a bogus speech therapist myself... I could make a fortune<br><br>And, you can't imagine how delighted I am to hear that it is a Fiat 7 seater that you have, as it is a Fiat that we are picking up. This I think is 'a sign'. Oh yes. Who needs a mechanic and a warareentee when you have 'a sign'.Domestic Oubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17298706907126418711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643066160382165031.post-64690815086074640262010-09-24T08:13:52.123+01:002010-09-24T08:13:52.123+01:00I have the cigarette and the pointy bra!

I'm in!<br><br>I am sorry for your woes, but much relieved to know I'm not the only mother who hates it when they get a new badge at Beavers (oh no, more sewing...)<br><br>We gave up on speech therapy for T2 because, basically, the speech therapist was crap. I just hit him now when he says things wrong, and it seems to be working rather well. I'm liking the sound of Eldest Child, by the way, and predict great things. If not a Wimbledon title.<br><br>And we had to update to a seven-seater with haste when these last ones arrived if family outings were not to involve one of the big ones running along behind the car, and though admittedly we did buy it from a garage, our inexpensive (can't quite bring myself to say cheap - it wasn't exactly cheap) - ageing Grey Fiat Ulysse has been and is an abolute diamond.<br><br>I suggest you sit down and relax with a good book. When you find the time.
