Centres

Day Three of 'The Daily Post'.

This was our conversation at dinner the other night.

Me: I'm going into 5-yo's class tomorrow, to help with 'centres'.

8-yo: What are they?

Me: I'm not entirely sure. The teacher said 'reading centres', so I'll probably be listening to the kids read.

8-yo: Reading centres?

Me: Yes. Why?

8-yo [laughing]: I thought you said 'centaurs'.

I can imagine that if the classroom contained reading centaurs, the teacher would indeed need a few parent volunteers to help out.

  1. Did they say it with a totally English accent too? Just to take the mick?

  2. Any "t" in centre? Or centaur, for that matter?

  3. That sounds like the blind leading the blind, there.
