Hi
Now she is 4 great niece has started Pre School.
This is very important to them as before they went to nursery,which is for babies.
Now it is Pre School, which is for older children, not for babies.
Her vocabulary has expanded rapidly.
I was talking to her last night and asked how school had been.
Her immediate response was ;That Bloody Teacher is a Right Nuisance’, said very emphatically.
How do you keep your voice straight after that. 
Depends on whether her assessment was correct or not.
Many many years ago, in the early 1970s, I lived in Brixton where my son was a toddler and he attended a pre school a few days a week.
On the way to the school we passed a car yard where, for some reason he was very fond of this Volkswagon Fastback, he called his “flash car” and every day, as we went past, he would pat it. So much so that I even have a photo somewhere of him with it.
That was until one day it was not there, he stood there looking around the car yard then said in a very loud, angry voice,“The f^^king flash car has gone!”.
Not a word we even knew that he knew because neither my wife or I ever said it but it has to be admitted that we were both torn between shocked hysterical laughter and reprimanding him.
