Thing 2 is exemplary ...she does as she's told, listens, is patient, polite.... And SHARES!
I'd love to meet this Thing!
Thing 1 has excelled, working where he should be, apart from in PE where he is enthusiastic and working at a much higher level than would be expected .... This is the same Thing 1 that is dragged to school, kicking and screaming EVERY PE day, because he HATES PE........
Oh, and Thing 1has scruffy handwriting.
So much so that he has to often 'decode' what he's written to the teacher for her to mark.... Well done son, you could tell her you'd written anything!
And I don't care that his handwriting is ineligible .... It means he is destined to be a doctor!
