First week of back to school completed with only one mad rush for the bus, one refusal to get dressed and one tired and teary end to the day.

Murron 'How many more years do I have to go to school for?'
Me 'Oh at least eleven or so'
Murron 'ELEVEN!'
Me 'Uh huh - more if you want to go to college..'

BIG silence

Murron 'Can I ring Catriona?'
Me 'Why?'
Murron 'I need to tell her that we have eleven more years at school and we will grow old together....'
