Class 9 starts in three weeks and my son has been rehearsing a 'new me' in the bathroom mirror

Heard him through the door last night: practising a slower walk, a nod instead of a wave, and the line 'yeah, it was alright' in three different tones. Apparently summer is when you become a different person, and class 9 is where you unveil him. He came out, saw me in the corridor, and said 'what' in what I think was tone number two. I have never been prouder ♥

    Tone number two is the one that lasts. Our son unveiled his version in class 8 and it survived until the first PT period, when he tripped over a cone in front of everyone.

      Mine changed his handwriting over the summer. Very slanted now. His teacher will be thrilled, I'm sure.

      Two sentences is generous. Ours drops it the moment food arrives.
