It gets worse than that.......

A couple of years ago, our youngest (9 at the time) told his mother she was breaking the law and driving dangerously.

When the conversation was pushed, mum stated that she was aware that she was doing more than 30mph, but then asked our youngest why her driving was apparently dangerous.

Youngest son stated that the speedo said 35, and that was dangerous.

Mum pushes youngest slightly further and asks why 35mph is dangerous, youngest admitted he did not know 

Now if anything, it alarms me much more that people are making statements without actually knowing why they are making them.

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."

25½ years on, but we're getting there...
