Dad Stuff

When Ada wants to indicate the presence of of Jacques, she refers to them with her rendition of the noises Scarface Claw makes. If only I could explain this to him I’m sure he’d be dead chuffed.

Also: There is no entry in Wikipedia for Scarface Claw. WTF Wikipedia?

Our nanny comes via an outfit that manages nannying services; as part of that they run evaluations of the nannies. This one contained a note mentioning that the supervisor had left some material on reading and literacy. Now this would raise a giggle or two anyway, since Ada has already got scads of books she’ll haul out and demand to be read (to little cries of “read, read!”), but the fact it arrived a couple of days after she got her first James Joyce made it even funnier.
