Frankly I think most people are actually a bit bonkers about their children; I assume it's nature's way of ensuring that they don't drop them on their heads or accidentally leave them on the bus, but unfortunately (for them, often) it manifests as a desire to show them off to the world. But Rudd's attitude, and his philistinism, and his attitude to his own philistinism, are all regrettable, which is a different issue. <BR/><BR/>Ocky, I think it's been done: <I>Lord of the Flies</I>.Kerryn Goldsworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11270814460793882309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17433936.post-14311232642307306682008-07-09T17:46:00.000+09:302008-07-09T17:46:00.000+09:30Sorry, a tribe of naked six-year-olds who delibera...Sorry, a tribe of naked six-year-olds who deliberately annoy Catholics in New South Wales.

Mediocrity is sometimes best dealt with not by way of diplomacy or sensitive political manoeuvring, but by way of a posterior-targeted firecracker.

Several of these boys grew up to be Admirals in the British Navy, and the painting occasioned them GREAT embarrassment.<BR/><BR/>And Christopher Robin had a hideous adolescence thanks to Daddy's books.<BR/><BR/>Don't put your children in the public eye, is what I say. Particularly knickerless. Because the universe having a sense of irony, they will later convert to something fundamentalist, and give you hell about it.
