Q. Parents
are so boastful of their childrens’ achievements. Does such irritating
behaviour offend against any law? I do not say this just because my own
childrens’ achievements have been modest.
A. My
wife and I attended a parents’ evening where one mother was concerned that the
curriculum would not extend her child as he was gifted, later she questioned
the adequacy of the sports facilities as he was a natural athlete, finally her
hand was up again to question the music teacher as her son was also a talented
musician. He was 7 years old. As my wife later commented, “it is amazing that
the most gifted children have the most stupid mothers”.
It may not be
specifically mentioned in any declaration of human rights but being irritating
is an inalienable right of man and womankind. But the irritating are the first
to go in any revolution, or at least that is my plan.
