The annals of education
The sun is shining, the temperature is above minus 20 and only one of my children is still sick, so it is a comparitively good start to a new week!
The weekend was a total write off, for me anyway. I got about 3 hours sleep Friday and Saturday. However, the children had a good time; they went to the Redpath museum, one of Montreal's best-kept secrets and a great place for both kids and adults. D. learned something new while there: The amphitheatre in that building was the only place where the first female students at McGill were allowed to take courses. They had to use a separate door from the men to enter and exit. As he was being told this history, D. nodded knowingly and commented with grave seriousness, "uh huh...cooties." At which point the kids fell about laughing.
Education continues apace.
