Hello everyone! I’ve decided to shift this blog over to Posterous. The link is here.
I don’t post often these days, but am hoping the functionality of Posterous will make it more likely 
So for those who follow this blog, please do change your bookmarks!
Love,
Pilgrim Mom

During the school holidays, the Pilgrim family had an evening out which included dinner at a nice Japanese restaurant. The boys usually have the kids meal or a bowl of noodles, but this time Athos was amenable to trying our platter of salmon sashimi.
Athos: Mmm, it’s good. I like it.
Pilgrim Dad and Mom: (in unison) Oh dear.

Pilgrim Dad brought the kids to the library yesterday. It was primarily for Athos’ benefit – he has an extended book list from school that he’s working through.
But Pilgrim Dad decided he would try to encourage Porthos (who doesn’t like books) to read as well. I was delighted until I saw the book – a war-time commando comic.
Me: What?!?!
Pilgrim Dad: Hey, he now knows what ‘strafe’, ‘achtung’ and ‘luftwaffe’ mean. And the different pain levels as denoted by “AARGH” and “AAAAAAAAH”.
I roll my eyes and rest my case….
