February 2008

During the sports week holiday I bump into our neighbour (the one with the very normal but accomplished sons) and ask after her youngest son, who is 12 and in Grade 6 in the village school. She tells me that he is away on school ski camp for the week. This gets me thinking – since October, he has been away on no less than 3 school camps – standard school camp, music school camp and now ski school camp.

Hmmmmmm. Am I missing something ?
