First day back at school has been great. Everyone seemed happy to settle back to normal and in my travels, I visited a Year One classroom.
The kids were all sitting in a circle and after the usual chat and happy talk, I noticed that one kid had had a pretty fancy haircut, we discussed it and I made a fairly casual comment about doing something so exciting in the holidays.
Next thing, every hand in the room was up...
"I went to the beach"
"I went to the movies and saw Madagasca"
"I went to the park"
"I went to my aunties"
And so it went round the room until one of the of the little girls reported
"I went to the Taliban Factory" !!!!!!!!
I glanced at the teacher and muttered "did she say Taliban factory??"
She was uncertain and shrugged.
She mouthed, "I think so"
"right, moving straight along to the next kid....... what did you do in the holidays?"
So, Taliban factory? In South Auckland? Backpacks manufactured with......???? Movies that skite about conquests in the desert??? Osama badges or t-shirts???
I can only hope she meant Tiptop Factory........? I have tried to roll it off my tongue in 50 different ways and I can come up with nothing else....
