Yes, that’s right folks – it’s me!! Hands up, I am the lady of grey-haired qualities, well according to wee C anyway.
There I was, minding my own business, helping my little cherubs become the studious and fast learners that they ought to be (yeh right as long as they can read and write then I am a happy camper) and giving it some large to the Curriculum of Excellence, as you do, from the comforts of our humble abode.
When our conversation takes a wee turn for the worst:
Wee C: Mum?
Me: Yes?
Wee C:Â I’m not very good at this am I?
Me: I think you’re doing really well, now let’s get the last couple of pages done before bath
Wee C: hmmmm
Slight pause…….
Wee C: Mum?
Me: Yes (deeply sighing inward)
Wee C: am I giving you grey hairs?
Me: (trying hard not laugh) no, I don’t think so
Wee C: well, what’s that on your head then?
And the crowd goes wild…….sob
