When tears are a good thing!

The Insanity of Parenting!
Sitting in Costa, enjoying my coconut milk flat white coffee, I witnessed a young girl, possibly around eleven years old, tapping the girl sitting next to her, probably her sister and around fourteen years old, with her foot on the older girl's calf … annoying her. ...
Bare feet … and lies!
I heard my neighbour recently speaking to her granddaughter “ Why have you got nothing on your feet? You can’t go outside with nothing on your feet” Of course her granddaughter could go out with nothing on her feet, what was meant really was “I don’t want you to” ...
