I can't speak for the other mums but if you've been a sahd for any length of time a gesture of friendliness would be unlikely to be misconstrued. <BR/><BR/>DJK, Owl World and Donkey World wouldn't have quite the interactive element I imagine.

He always felt he was on the outside peering in, never quite trusted, not wanting to belong but certainly not expecting to be looked on with such suspicion.<BR/><BR/>Even now after all this time and three children later he was just last night saying that he feels such an outsider at our new country school. What had become the norm in London is still viewed with extreme wariness in the countryside.<BR/><BR/>Told him they were probably all in love with him as he is such a fine figure of a man... funnily enough that cheered him right up.<BR/><BR/>PS - re yr comment on my blog, Ice cream in the park.

I agree with you on the museums, but my daughter does have a soft spot for the big T Rex at the Natural History museum (and the big smartie biscuts).<BR/><BR/>Thank you TGW, we need all the help we can get. There are other animals, but what always amuses me is the reference to Bunny World as the killer attraction (as it were).<BR/><BR/>Yes M&M and not cheap either. On this visit a toddler fell into one of the bunny pens and landed on a bunny. It barely flinched. I'm wondering if they're medicated somehow. In their natural habitat might be much nicer.Stay at home dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943310521217164291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309801433272440943.post-26916772430111395522007-06-14T20:51:00.000+01:002007-06-14T20:51:00.000+01:00Wow.
