Thunderthighs's
just gone off to Newcastle College for his Biology GCSE evening class.
"Shall
I pick you up at 8 as usual?"
"Actually
Mum, do you mind if I come home on the Metro?"
Not
at all son, we've been wanting you to do that since last year.
Another step towards being a grown up.
Mrs
Allotment My son's first independent journey was travelling back from
Newcastle College. They gave him the skills and he put them to good use by
voting with his feet... he'd go in for registration because he knew he should,
then turn around, come home, sit in the house until 4 O'Clock (college time)
then start to do his own thing! Concrete
thought process mixed with the beginning of self determination. Used to amuse me (but not college!)
Bentonbag Thunderthighs has been travelling independently to/from
school/college for a few years now but the metro home from evening class has
been a step too far so I've been going to pick him up. The problem wasn't fear of the metro at night,
or the dark.
Not at all. He'd worked out that with class finishing at
8, then a walk to central station, then the metro, then the walk here he
wouldn't be home until after 9. And he
has his bath at 9 so he might be late for it. God forbid his routine should be altered.

Safely
back from the weekend in Chesterfield with Middlesister (who has forgotten her facebook
password and isn't bothered).
Phoned
home Friday night and asked Thunderthighs whether his father was ok, had he fallen again?
"Not
yet."
Ever the optimist!
However
all was well on my return.

Not yet??? He has his father’s touch with language

In so so many ways ....
