Anyone for Beer?

            I’d have to say, a beer and a sleep might well be much more fun than writing about the Beer-Lambert Law!! No wonder life at school often seems so unrealistic and ‘useless’ to so many of the children attending… Yesterday, I decided on reflection that the subjects at school that have probably…

Brains and cantaloupes…

                      Ok, so this took me a few moments, but eventually I got it!! I also thought the brain image deserved to appear during Dementia Awareness Month! Ultimately I will have to find other humorous things for my Tuesday theme, as I will run out…

Taking a risk

Sometimes is doesn’t take much for it to be a risk. There are days I wish I’d been silly enough to do something like this at school, but alas, I was too busy trying to pass!!! One son probably passed in quite a bit of homework like this, which thankfully, we didn’t get to see too often.…

Tuesday humour: out of the mouths of babes

When my children were young we started regular family meetings, a Sunday evening event where we could discuss any topic at all. It was used as a forum for discipline, planning holidays, and anything else that popped into our heads! At one meeting, arguments and fights between the boys were discussed, and it was agreed they had to…

Tuesday humour: Natural tooth whitener

At lunch on Sunday I told a couple of jokes, but as I’m not sure about the appropriateness of doing so, I decided not to add them here!! The only even vaguely humorous thing I can think to write about today is a childhood experience… At about the age of 5 or 6, I had…

Tuesday humour: Barnacles or Seahorses?

Another homework funny to brighten our day. I must say, the student who answered the question has rather a good point!!! I can’t remember being creative like that at school, but my stepson certainly had us laughing often with this type of creativity, although quite possibly his teachers were despairing!!! Enjoy your Tuesday, wherever you are…

Tuesday humour: Car parts theft at Bond University

A couple of years ago when visiting Queensland to speak at a WordPress conference, I heard a story about a middle aged lecturer near the Bond University. She called 000 on her mobile phone to report that her car had been broken into. She was hysterical as she explained: They’ve stolen the stereo, the steering wheel,…

Tuesday humour: 10 things to do in K-Mart

Many years ago an email did the rounds titled “10 things to do in K-Mart”, which I perhaps stupidly shared with my young teenage sons. Our family has an unusual sense of humour, and this seemed like a bit of good old fashioned fun!! It consisted of activities like this: hiding inside a rack of clothes, and…

Tuesday humour: more homework!

This homework sheet gave me a giggle, and I hope it does for you too. Children are ingenious and creative, and somehow, the school system knocks it out of many of our kids. I once read a book about schooling and parenting that said no children should be given homework… of course, I did not…

Tuesday humour and a dementia confession

Just lately I’ve been having trouble finding my sense of humour… Mr Google helps me as in an effort to find ‘it’ I usually do a cartoon search. I love this one today! The other thing I’ve had trouble with is the ability to sift through my thoughts or find my words, which has greatly affected my…

Protected by a ninja

More homework funnies, reminding me of my children in primary school! There were many days at university I wished I had a ninja to protect my answers!! In fact, I wouldn’t mind one now…

Tuesday humour: homework

I realised after posting my blog the last few Tuesdays I had forgotten about this new theme, so have been searching the recesses of my books, notes and numerous brains (BUB, and others) to find something to write about that is even remotely humorous, and possibly a welcome relief from the relentless sadness of the last few weeks.…
