(Do you remember that one, he wanted to be Vanilla Ice)<BR/>Also Glyn, it is fabulous when you procrastinate as with your bumper blogging you enable us all to join in with the deferring till morning.<BR/>AND about the dirty sheets thing think about all the energy saving you are doing by not changing them, you eco warrior you. I am with anonymous- changing sheets is WELL overrated.lucy arhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853654737119450492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893963.post-8209208554972702692007-04-19T19:06:00.000+01:002007-04-19T19:06:00.000+01:00Hi Glyn, sorry I have re - read my response to you...Hi Glyn, sorry I have re - read my response to you and the word's 'I don't think it's our place....'etc, make me sound a little as if I'm not sure, so for the record:<BR/><BR/>It is most certainly not our place to explain innuendo to children and if you are really concerned that language or behaviour is inappropriate, speak to your Safe and Sound Co-ordinator ( or CO if at the Corps or Dean Juster at THQ) <BR/><BR/>Hope that really clarifies it for you - sorry to be so serious, but we have to be so, so careful.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974327894502196829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893963.post-75047645685133826742007-04-19T18:49:00.000+01:002007-04-19T18:49:00.000+01:00Yeah sorry, the word verification thing bugs me as...Yeah sorry, the word verification thing bugs me as well. I had to put it in because I was getting a lot of spam comments. If you look at my posts in July of last year sort of time you'll see what I mean - they're very strange.Glyn Harrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774778167027700588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893963.post-58504186067904796672007-04-19T17:56:00.000+01:002007-04-19T17:56:00.000+01:00Sorry, gonna be serious here.As a parent, I don't ...Sorry, gonna be serious here.<BR/><BR/>As a parent, I don't think I would WANT to explain the innuendo to my eight year olds, and I have have 2 of them in my house. However, there are times, particularly with my daughter, when she asks outright about something that she's heard and I can get away with saying stuff like, 'Well it's kind of rude' and she just blushes and says 'Oh'.The scarey thing is, I have the feeling that things are explained at school and some kids really know a lot.<BR/><BR/>I guess when she asks outright why it's rude, than I'll have to be honest with her and mention sex. She's aware of the connotation of the word because looking at application forms she says - OH IT SAYS SEX. I'm not over reacting at the moment, but she will need careful looking after.<BR/><BR/>As a kids worker though, I don't think it's our place to be explaining innuendo to children, but if, as a case study, it was really rattling you, you MIGHT want to mention something to the parent - 'Little Johnny was singing THAT SONG and he might ask you what it means at some point' Problem there is that the parent might need the lingo explained to them as well.<BR/><BR/>Oh no - now I've got to do that word verification thing:)<BR/><BR/>Yep - here I am again.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02974327894502196829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25893963.post-68039322991756096062007-04-19T15:59:00.000+01:002007-04-19T15:59:00.000+01:00Yeah, I have so many sweet memories of being rocke...Yeah, I have so many sweet memories of being rocked to sleep by my mum as she gently cooed "Smack my bitch up". <BR/><BR/>In my innocence I of course had no idea the song was of course about the rigorous and violent world of pedigree dog breeding. I feel so cheated.Matt Leederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166928569927398024noreply@blogger.com
