I know, I know - the tree should be down!

As a trainee teachers we were given a questionnaire about personality types and it turned out I was an Authoritarian personality (very much so). I am a total rule follower and also expect the children I teach to do as I say. However they don’t and this has led to me having to change my parameters- or go mad!

My husband was the opposite. He followed sensible rules but questioned those which were ridiculous. I have changed over the years and now have a more relaxed attitude to rules - with regard to myself and anyone else. If some behaviour isn’t harming anyone - who cares?

Anyway I was babysitting Henry this lunchtime and should have come home and started to take down the tree. But no, I lit the fire and the candles and enjoyed the tree. I particularly like this ornament as it looks so innocent and friendly. It is easier to question rules in this time when our rulers command
so much less subservience and respect.
