Well mumswebbers, what a weekend. We have had some interesting discussions with our kids yesterday trying to explain what a 'hung' parliament is. They think it is like a 'draw' and why don't they just have a rematch? How do you explain to your kids and what do you think of the election results. Interesting times for all hey!

My grade 6er has now become extremely computer literate. I think this may be a genetic trait, however, after a discussion with some other mums the other night the issue of facebook and google was raised.
