My son in the compost bin


One of my favourite photos.

Kids are great aren't they!
P.S We didn't really compost him.

What do YOU do with anger?

Image
My father was prone to angry outbursts! By that I mean that whether he was feeling humiliated, vulnerable, fearful, powerless, disappointed, anxious, hurt, misunderstood or many other emotions, he was quick to express only anger – loudly, suddenly and aggressively, and always towards others.  On first consideration I might conclude this was because my father received standard conditioning that gave the message that anger was one of the few emotions acceptable for males to express. After all, it feels powerful, in control, shouts, ‘pay attention to my issues now!’ and it can railroad situations that might more appropriately require time-consuming, empathetic and delicate attention – possibly attributes more commonly expected of the female arena! (Sorry about the generalisations! Of course I know there are always exceptions!)  But it’s also worth considering: it probably does feel easier to experience and express anger outwardly than many other emotions. For example, many years...

Anal Retention Test

I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now.

Poo Poem

Image
My brother once had a poo poem in his toilet. I could only remember the first line of his but I used it to start mine. It's his concept I nicked. He's got bags of great concept. What an honour: to be the inspiration of poo poem II. Poo Poem   Big ones, little ones, ones that wedge in the loo Squidgy ones, firm ones, Ones that smell like a zoo Deep brown, light brown Ones that take time to come 'One wipe and go' ones  Ones that smudge your bum Sweetcorn ones, carrot ones Ones that stick to the bowl Jolly bad hangover ones that squit out from your hole Regular ones, strained ones Ones that need a nice smelling spray: the ones propelled by wind - that mean you won't want to stay Morning ones, evening ones, ones you do around noon Ones that make little skid marks - the ones that come too soon Quiet ones, noisy ones, Unashamed ones done in the boys Discreet ones done by ladies Toddlers’ ones that double as toys Floating ones, sinking ones Ones do...
