My son is helping in the kitchen garden at school as one of his AOB activities. He came home yesterday with a selection of radishes which are delicious.
“Slight slug damage,” he says.
“That’s OK, ” I reply, trimming off the bits that look nibbled.
“Mrs S says we’re going to get some of those slug frogs.”
“Slug frogs?” I reply, thinking, that’ll mean a pond and tadpoles and all that palaver which may not be easy to manage in a school.
“Yes, you know,” he said, “little creatures that destroy the slugs.”
“Do you mean the ones that you put into a watering can and pour over the soil?”
He shrugs.
“Not slug frogs,” I say, “Do you mean nema- toads?”
Now he’s laughing – and I wonder if he knew all along.
… and there was me thinking I was going to read an article about Moo … 😈
Tush, Bearsy. As if….
Now now bearsy, on here you can only think these thoughts. free speach à la XX.
