A brief post and with good reason.
Last night whilst helping #1 & #2 wash away the days dust and grime, the letters were again being put to good use. On this occasion however, they were creating proper words as part of #1 testing what #2 had learnt from their Read Write Inc sessions in school.
After hoisting #2 out of the bath and helping pat away the "cold drips", she suddenly starting to repeat the letter "o" over and over again. I thought perhaps she meant "oh" meaning that it indeed was cold but when I glanced over to #1, my mental fog consisting largely of post school and early evening tea madness became quickly focused upon the cause of sudden merriment.
#1 had taken the liberty of selecting the foam letter "o" and had (like a true male) placed it with perfection over the spectacle of his young manhood and was showing it off it with some considerable pride.
I suddenly wanted to scream out "Oh" following quickly by "No!" but instead turned #2 away and asked him to remove the letter whilst trying hard not to combust with refrained laughter. I felt that laughing out loud at the letter "o" might bruise his pride and give him an early complex and I did not feel ready to enter into a conversation about how the male appendage is generally something to be laughed at.
Finally, I did not want to linger over the event in case the letter "o" during the next Read Write Inc session, is something I am suddenly called into school to explain.
Note to self - I must go out and purchase new bath toys.......
