Re: Suz, i never told you what…

Your son is brilliant, and your daughter sounds lovely too – just think, give her 10 more years and you’ll be pleading with her to have more pets instead of going out with b.o.y.s!

Have you read any of the Gerrald Durrell books?  Definitely recommend then for your son in a few years, he sounds just like the young Gerald Durrell!  (Except that he DID go out and get stuff and bring it home… like a mother scorpion with all babies on her back, and someone looked in the match box for some matches and they all ran out).  And when he was older he opened a zoo for endangered animals in Jersey – is still there and has a very successful breeding program for endangered animals!
