Oh gosh, and that puts him behind the eight ball in the first place.

One of my Medium pieces was about a little boy in my class. One of his mates came to tell me that he was feeling sad about not being able to read very well. I tossed everything aside that day and, well to be honest, I deserved an Oscar that day for my performance!!!

Joking apart we looked at everything the students had taught themselves over the years, and marvelled that they were so darned clever.

We looked at the talents we all had, and celebrated our genius.

Today that boy renovates for profit and owns his own gym.

Don't worry about your son reading your story Philip. What are the chances. Finding it would be akin to your winning the lottery.

Besides, it's a story of a proud father and son. What's not to love?

But he knows what makes everybody tick, and if you have him as a friend, you have a friend for life

Dr Howard Gardener would see that as one of the multiple intelligences, 3Rs be damned.!!!
