Disgusting
On Saturdays Ronnie and Jacob bake muffins. After expertly mixing all the ingredients Jacob always conducts a taste-test. This demands, of course, an enormous spoonful of the mixture to be ingested. Last Saturday's taste-test saw Jacob's face briefly light up with suprise followed by increasing horror before an explosion of spluttering and spitting and the exclamation that "THAT was disgusting!"
Seems they mistook the salt for castor sugar.

Stupid
After Jacob was born a colleague of mine in the Netherlands, who also had a boy, remarked on how much fun it was but with a warning for Ronnie attached. "For the first five years Dad's a hero, after that he's just stupid". I don't know if Jacob is precocious or we're just lucky but both Ron and I have achieved 'stupid' status already, at just three years and ten months. And we were just getting used to basking in the warm glow of hero-dom.
