Well done Master Ditty

How lovely  - our kids do surprise us at times - it's great when it's in a nice way 

 

Well Done Alfie 

isn't it?

 

I am cooking a roast lamb dinner tonight (one of his faves)..    and am all grins (though that could be partly cos of the cheap cooking wine I am drinking whilst slogging in the kitchen).. 

 

 

& thank you... 

 

I shall get him to come & bask in his glory in here later...  he has a forum account (his FM name is Hooded Assassin ) 

Well done, Alfie.

 

It's a great feeling when kids do something which makes their mum proud.

 

ahhhhhh. brilliant!   I'm grinning here too Well done that  dittyboy !

Ta Yogi & Slinkeh 

 

 

Well done Alfie!    

You are right to be proud. Ditty. Well done Master Ditty!!

 Well done to Master Ditty!

 

It's lovely for you to have such a positive experience Ditty ...sometimes maybe we're too close to our kids to see their wonderfulness (I know what I mean).  I've just recently seen another side to my daughter and it was such a nice feeling - I'm determined I'll keep it to the front of my memory for the undoubtedly challenging times to come 

I think you might be right Hoochie..  & yeah, I need to try to remember this too... when the challenging times crop up (like about ten mins ago when he called his sister a pleb )

 

 

 

& thanks Scotty & Moomin xx

Well done!

Must take after his father  

He's googled!

Haha well that's wonderful Ditty! We need to get you a drink, to celebrate and for shock It's a very traumatic subject, your son must have really come up with some tremendous words

well done Alfie 

mebbes you do know your own kid and mebbes they got him mixed up with some other kid in the class -  

Actually i think the Holocaust really strikes a chord with a lot of kids- such an horrendous period of history. I remember when I first heard about it through a programme called 'All Our Yesterdays' it had a profound effect on me..............................in my middle sons GCSE year the school arranged a trip to the battlefieds of WW1 -  they went to the evening service (last post) at the Menin Gate - it was his birthday when he was away and he got to lay the wreath. It was an experience  he has never forgotten (probably aided by my passion for history). He went on to get A* in History and his degree was History related.

 

 

Thank you peeps...   I had a headache & went to bed early last night...   I will tell Alf about in here later today when he's up.

 

Soozy - Alfie is going on a trip to Battlefields in Feb with the school..   I hadn't realised it was all linked in til I read your post.   

That's what his sister said 

 

She then went on to say he's probably just done a search & replace..  searching for the words Anne & Frank....   to replace them with Alfie.

 

She so can't handle it being him getting a bit of glory 

Thanks all.

 

Not only does Alfie have hidden depths, he's also polite and gets up before lunchtime - Ditty, you've got a wee gem.

 

But...   he is back to the Alfie I know..    a boy of few words 

He's my baybeeee boy!

 

And he will kill me if he reads that! 

First thing to cross my mind.

 

Tell him not to worry, my lot are 22, 26 and 29 and they are still my baybees!

Ditty, my kids are 34 and 31 and they hate me talking about them on here. Hard cheddar.

 

Compliments to your son. He's the same age as my granddaughter and she managed to surprise us last week by getting a letter from her head of house inviting her to be on a debating panel about WW1 & WW2. We thought she'd be over the moon, but she is very shy, so it's a delicate decision between trying to pursuade her to do it or telling her that it's her decision.

Aww well done to her Cologne...  & yeah, tough one to call.     

 

 

The boy is out of the golden zone now..      daughter & I are just heading out to my friends bday bash...    as the girl was walking out of the room I told her I could see her bum (a reference to the waaaay too short skirt she has on)...   the boy chirps up   "its a bit hard to miss it"

 

Baaad Alfie
