Remember Remember
I am a bit under the cosh at the moment but since Phil asked nicely, here's a quick post.
Now Evo1.3 - 5yrs old - is a bit of a cutey pie. He says the most fabulous of things and never gets sucked in by sales hype. Here's a true story from yesterday when he was railroaded - against his better judgement - into buying a poppy.
Oh look, says mum, they're selling poppies at school today. Why don't you go get one.
Why, what are they?
Well, we buy them to remember all of the men that were killed in the wars.
Oh. Alright then.
Off he goes with his 30p.
Come 3:30, there he is with his poppy on.
Oh lovely, says mum, you got one then.
Yes, says Evo1.3 scynically. But I haven't remembered anything yet.
Looks like he got a faulty one then.

kids............brilliant, are we actually allowed to wear the poppy still? does it not offend other races?
30p?! I thought the RRP was 1gbp?!
hehe - they've ad you there mate.
Minimum donation of 20pence at Matthews school, so Evo has actually been generous
I do live East Hull now.
You should try living in Scotland, they just wear last years again.
(One for the redrover there. Although they do say that Redrover is part Scot, it's just that he's hadd all the generosity squeezed out of him)
Apparently we should be wearing White Poppies these days. They are less politically correct or something, but then I switched the radio over 'cos the nob 'ed who was talking was pissing me off.
See, Radio 4...great station.
no one lives in scotland, he just hates the scots.
I'm not aware we have a minimum donation in Lymington ;)
