Matter of Fact

Today was the last day of February. The last day of summer (if that's what you call the season we've just had)…where does the time go? Just a rambling thought. Rather pointless.

Moving on.

Have I already mentioned how well Byron is doing this year at Kindy? I think I have, but if you missed it – he is doing splendidly. His teachers are so impressed with him. He's working hard, trying hard and behaving for the most part. Plus, he is the ‘leader’ in the class.

Today he had to do a presentation on a little project he did – such project took his mother (with his help of course) 4 weeks to complete due to poor time management and alternate engagements. What matters is it got done *cough cough*. The project included sheets of paper with photos and stories about his family.

He explained, in front of his class; how I swam with dolphins, how he loves Lily; how he plays cricket with his dad; and how much he loves chocolate paddle pops. After his talk he opened up the floor to his peers and answered some questions, which, so I’m told is when the fun began.

Apparently, he was asked a couple of questions, which he so adeptly answered. Next, one of his little classmates piped up and started talking about the piklets he had eaten the day before. Byron’s response to this was to tell the little boy that “I didn’t eat piklets. That has nothing to do with my talk so I’m not going to answer it”.

OK.

It didn’t end there. He was asked another question, which he so promptly answered however, when another classmate piped up, this time asking exactly the same question as one of his peers Byron responded with “I have already answered that question – I’m not going to waste my time answering it again”. Following which, he went on to answer another question.

His teacher advised that they could barely hold back the laughter it was a site to see. It was so matter of fact and well beyond his years to even contemplate such responses.

That’s the thing with Byron, he is (and has) constantly come out with words, sayings and ‘stuff’ beyond his years.

It was funny to read the end of summary report of the class' day – “Byron did his talk today and provided a very interesting question time”.

Love it!
