One plus one does not equal two
The teen had NAPLAN this week. She’s in Year 9 and spent three days of her life stuffed into a classroom answering questions that have little relevance to her daily life, or her future in fact. You see the teen … Continue reading
No side order of brat please
Hallelujah! Restaurants are finally taking charge and taking badly behaved kids off their menus. And it’s about time. Some venues are going a step further and banning children altogether. More power to them. You see, not everyone agrees children should … Continue reading

Stepping out … oddly.
I wore odd shoes to work the other day. They weren’t odd in colour, but definitely odd in style. When I arrived at the office and noticed them for the first time, I was more bemused than embarrassed, thinking there … Continue reading
