Well, The Child was definitely in suck up mode earlier. And yes, I confess I might have caved and bought her a little something on the way home from school. To be fair though it’s been a while, and she really was being adorable. And it was only dried apricots. Anyway, as we were leaving school she announced that she’s the cleverest person in the whole world. Now she is very intelligent (in my opinion, and her teacher’s), but she was exaggerating there a bit I think. She also told me that I’m the cleverest mum, which is definitely not the case. Again, I can be pretty smart at times, but I’m hardly a genius. And I’m guilty of having very frequent blonde moments. However, despite the obvious manipulation going on there, I was somewhat flattered there. But I don’t care if she was only after apricots, she was being so sweet, bless her. And she’s clearly clever enough to have figured out that the best way to get what she wants is to flatter me. Oh dear. I might need to try and change that.
