If you ever injected truth into politics you have no politics.


This is Henry's angry face.

I am reasonably certain that is uncannily like the face I pulled last night after spending an hour slaving away over a hot stove cooking dinner after spending eight hours slaving away over a hot computer only to have my oldest child turn his nose up and refuse to eat one single thing on his plate, telling me that it was "yukky".

I will concede that the rissoles were dry, and the roast veg a little overdone, but it all tasted okay. How could he be so certain when he didn't taste it anyway?!?

Believe me my son, you children always knew, when you too hadn't touched a thing on your plate. The bane of every parent. Having their children better informed than them. Absolute bliss.

is it time for some kid-friendly meals? finger foods, mac and cheese, with a few veg. sides? Compromise has within it the 'promise' that everyone gets a turn to be pleased and to suffer....

Is that my dear Henry, turning his nose upon a meal that you so lovingly cooked for him? Ha ha ha ha ha :-)))

Going by Roddy's comment, life has come full circle for you Kris.

I know what you'll say to that.

Intuition? Children have more developed senses than adults and politicians!

Because it didn't contain any meat?

Kids are just plain fussy!
