Re: Re: Childish things was Re: That Age Thing

G'day guys,

Jon asked:
 >How old are your two now, Beth?

Lachy is 7 and Janneke is 4.

My Lachy's the same! He's made up a terrific biology, psychology, 
technology, history and government system for his Sa'Vasku (actually the

DOR....Destroyer of Races....not actually that mean just don't piss them

off!). As he's getting older he's moving into SG and its the UNSC he's 
after there.

 >one of his primary school teachers....she
 >couldn't understand much of what he
 >was writing about....

Now that sounds familiar! I don't think I'll forget the look On Lachy's 
teacher's face when he took his Fleetbook to school (handdrawn one of
all 
the "stats" for the races he'd made up) she was impressed that he'd made

the effort (he's dyslexic so having something that inspires him to want
to 
draw and write is terrific), but was a little confused as to the content
;)

Have fun

Beth
