Importing naughtiness

Just when you think that your children can't get any more naughty than they already are, something new happens, and it's called school. You'd think that you would learn good things in school, good as in educational, clever and intelligent. However, where there are (other) children, there's often trouble.

Children are like the borg, a cumulative mind of naughtiness all rolled into a collective being. Given enough time, each child which is present would learn the sum of all the other naughty things that the others know. That's when they go home to try it on their parents, grandparents and younger siblings. Ah, the beauty of it.

Some of the new things they've learnt from their very creative and well-informed classmates are: power-ranger poses, gargling water and calling things (and people) "stupid" (and other names). Of course, this is an unavoidable part of interacting with others and we wouldn't give it up because of this.

But I think it will get worse (i.e. more interesting) as we go along.
