Random Conversations with the Boy

Joseph, like butter wouldn't melt...

Joseph's homework on Wednesday seemed simple enough.

We had to fill in the missing words - and the topic was winter.

So, for example, we had "In winter the weather is very _ _ _ _"

Duly, we filled in c .o. l.d

We were going great guns on the rest of the homework til we reached the sentence

"Old people don't like the cold _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "

Now, I knew the word was weather. And up until this point Joseph had been getting the fact that he was supposed to fill in just one word on each line. But, oh no... now he decided to be more creative.

"Old people don't like the cold," he wrote "it kills them".

He had a point.
