Mr. Waffle’s quotes of the week

16 April, 2008
Posted in: Mr. Waffle

The meeting of the logistics committee was suspended for an ad hoc emergency session of the vomit committee.
On having to abandon our discussion on what was happening during the following week to deal with Daniel getting sick.

Sure, as long as it’s fair trade recycled non-bleach eco-cotton.
On being told by his eco-terrorist wife that she would like one of these.

I have to struggle against terrible prejudice.
On being told by the Princess’s teacher that for her majesty’s birthday, his wife should make a smallish cake for the class. He makes the cakes here.

Ah excellent, competency based child-rearing; this will stand her in good stead, if the current interview fad lasts – tell me, what did you do to achieve the result described.

On being told about an interesting article (via this entertaining blog) which says that we should be specific in the praise we give our children, e.g. not you played really well but that was a great pass you made in the second half that led to a goal.

    Ah Waffle, are you betraying your republican roots? Surely for a princess it’s “her royal highness”, not “her majesty”? Princesses can take great offence at such breaches of etiquette.

    ah, I was thinking you had to make a cake for the Queen of Belgium there, which confused me but I assumed it was normal for belgium

    Praxis, DG, I have much to learn about the ways of royalty, being from a republic. It’s hard for us parents.
