Alex missed school today - truly, a heavy cold, albeit with exaggerated symptoms.
After lunch:
Alex: I didn't much like the tuna mayo.
Shane: I thought you liked that.
Alex: Well, I do, but I added some raspberries** and it wasn't good.
Shane: Tuna, mayo and raspberries...
Alex: - not good.
Shane: Mm.
He'll be back at school tomorrow, and so I'll not be setting number quiz challenges, justifying jigsawing 'down-time', or contriving logo design work* for an eight year old. I will miss him, though. His singing about not being allowed to play on the Playstation or to watch any more television - all to the tune of Eye of the Tiger, well that was the high point of the day. I believe the term is 'LOL'.
* We support creative endeavour...
** Up to a point.

Lol: WTF? Like, that's so last year, Shane. Sounds like Alex badass pwn3d your luncheon initiative...

EDIT: There is nothing worse than grown men attempting to be cool by leaping aboard the doomed vessel that is txtspeak. Except, possibly, when the finest brains a cultural establishment has to offer decide to be collectively cool - as if "cool" were even a relevant concept... [muted rant continues off page]
No! No! Don't stop there! I need lyrics! What were the words of Alex's singing? I need to know!
'pwn3d'... errrrrrrrrr, nope. That's a new one. To me. If not, to you.
Q - The moment has passed. I would be underselling it were I to try to recreate it. Now, let us pray for more.

Better than peas and treacle.
The thing about cool- it must be the longest lasting in word ever. No?
Patty Pi Pi - You are correct. For me, 'cool' evokes images from westerns - men on horseback, sauntering along... on a horse. And yet it also brings to mind the day-glo loonies of the high street - with their orangely tinted skin, their implausible nails, their hair of perfection, and the general air of witlessness. Bit odd, that.
