Sorry if this is boring for childless people, but my son is always coming out with little Gems (he's 7 yrs old).
The other day I was explaining to him the reasons why he would make school life easier by trying to 'get along' with people.
He regarded me seriously for a minute, and then said "Well, it's quite difficult to get along with people when you come from a family who care more about animals than people, you know".
Err, fair point, son!!
Then, a couple of days ago, my husband was 'jokingly' complaining about the amount of time I have been spending here on the forum. Without raising my voice, I calmly explained that he would have to get used to it, especially as he never wants to do anything with me these days. At this point, my son appeared at my side and said "you tell him, mum, he's been pushing you around for years!".
