Prince Louie going through THAT stage

I knew about ‘The Terrible Twos’ but not about ‘The Terrible Fours’!

The F***ing Fours!

Glorianny

There is a Horrid Henry story where Henry tells Perfect Peter that thumbing his nose is the proper way to greet the queen. I wonder if someone read it to Louis?

That’s terrible and so, so wrong.

Try being an Early Years teacher.
I have a friend who really is the most brilliant EY teacher.
She’s like a Sergeant Major!

Private school kids are definitely the worst. That's why we have to send them to finishing school to knock 'em into shape!

Well, he's only just come out of the Thunderous Threes!

Then comes school and they'll become cocky and know absolutely everything!

Two of my siblings were privately educated, three of our children were privately educated, none required finishing off

Nothing wrong with Horrid Henry and Horrible Histories along with funny books and JK Rowling have got a fair few boys into reading.

Our kids too, which certainly finished off the bank balance!
Children will be children regardless.

I'm a bit of an old tyrant, probably, but he would only do that to me, once.

My daughter was the tantrum queen - laying on the floor, screaming, banging her head, by the way, so far from perfect.

Isn't there a Disney character who does the nose thumbing? Can't remember who. Not Pinocchio!

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Horrid Henry. Lock him in the tower!

Bleah!

My GS loves the HH stories. I do wonder sometimes they are so non-pc. All the children have nick names that are a bit derogatory and HH does a lot of unacceptable stuff. But they are funny.

As far as my kids TV viewing went I’m glad all I had to worry about was Captain Pugwash!

Thankfully it went over their heads. ?

That is an extremely well spread urban myth.
There was no Roger the Cabin Boy; or Master Bates.
Sorry!

Or Seaman Stains for that matter!

Seaman Staines, too.
Alas, not true.

MissA we obviously share the same cultural touchstones!
