MY SON

My son is 11 and just started secondary school in september, he keeps coming home from school telling me all these different things hes learnt, knowing that i haven't got a clue what hes going on about.He can count up to 100 in both french and german, although he didn't know when i asked him what number in german zigazigargh was, it was great watching him trying to work it out, before finally admitting defeat and giving up, only to be told it wasn't a number at all,but actually the end to a spice girl song.!So the other day he came home from school and said 'did you know that during the first world war some british and german soldiers one christmas eve stopped fighting and played a game of football against each other in no mans land'He had a look of satisfaction on his face as if he had just served an ace to win wimbledon, game, set and match, so when i said yes i did know that,and did he know that Sir Paul Mc cartney had written a song about it back in the 80s called 'pipes of peace, he was Crest fallen, he walked out of the kitchen like a man who had just put everything on red, only for it to come in black, it didn't end there though, because as usual he had to have the last word, 'that football match during the first world war,i bet you dont know what the score was' !!
