It would never be heard in the UK

  • When passing a yellow crayon to a child who was drawing a beach the child said “No Mrs Griffin, sand is grey I need this one.” (Ethiopian sand is grey).
  • When using fruit and vegetables for printing this week a child asked “Did you bleach them?”
  • When going to see what a group of children were doing in the corner of the grass they said “We’re building a trap for termites.”
  • When asking a child if I would see their Mum or Dad at the end of the morning they reply “No my driver’s picking me up.”
  • When going to look at children engrossed in the sand pit I find small sand cakes with a fruit from the overhanging trees carefully placed on each one, “Would you like peach or avocado?” they enquired.
  • When doing a traffic survey “Who has been on a bus?” no one. “Who has been on a train?” one child. “Who has been on a boat?” two children. “Who has been on a plane?” everyone!

Mum that's such a great insight into their little situations and mindsets. I love the driver comment too! And I'm glad to hear that they know about fruit and vegetable bleaching! Teehee!

This made me smile! What a cultural contrast. For the first time, I'm behind in reading blog posts but I'm now enjoying a longer read!)
