My 9 year old daughter had been banned from playing her DS for a week, and as there were only ‘baby shows’ on TV which her sisters were watching, and all of her books were ‘boring Mum’, I asked her what she would be interested in researching if I gave her a project to do. She chose snakes. I dutifully wrote her some questions, and she went away and worked on it for a good hour, during which time I finished up everything I was doing and had taken off to the supermarket to pick up some stuff for dinner. Anyway, as I walked through the door she raced up to me excitedly and presented me with her project, all questions answered in paragraph form and illustrated beautifully. She’s bursting with excitement; “Quick Mummy, mark it for me” (I’m a teacher)
I didn’t get past the first line before I nearly stopped breathing:
