The banter has been mighty in our house this week. On Monday I collected my middle son, Ethan, at the bus stop.  He got in the car and announced in horror that he had the worst homework ever.

Oh dear, I said and questioned if it was comprehension.  No, he replied, I’ve to write a story on the journey of the SPERM!  I exploded into laughter and Joshua followed suit, although I doubt very much that he fully understood what he was laughing about.  However, he soon learnt, as Ethan was very forthcoming with all the information he needed to decide that this indeed was a very funny thing to have homework on.  From what he was able to tell his younger brother he is right on track for an A star in biology and the whole baby making process.  Much thanks to Ethan’s year 8…
