My mother is a nursery school teacher. She teaches a lot of foreign kids and they have very different cultures from what id consider normal. A bizarre example of this was shown when one of the kids showed her the new toys his parents had given to him - a real, working, mobile phone and a set of keys to their equally real brand new bmw.

She assumed that hed picked them up or something at home and asked the parents about it, they confirmed that they had given them to him 'because he likes cars and phones'.

I just thought id share this because it seems barking.

Was this a bribe to stop him calling his dad 'Steve'?

Oi.... I resemble that comment!

Actually I can't believe that a nursery school sprog actually HAS got a mobile phone. Can it be true?

When I was about two years old I got access to my Father's car for a little while.

It was parked on a steep driveway, and I let the handbrake off.

The car began to move, with me sitting in the driving seat.

It picked up speed, crossed the road and was on it's way to the small river that was at the bottom of the green.

The only thing that stopped it was the neighbour's brand new car, parked on the other side of the road.

It cost my Father quite a lot of money to repair apparently.

So I hope they won't mind when the kid gets in, sticks it in 'D' and runs over some pedestrians beofre smashing it into somebody's house...? Seems like the parents have more money than brains.
