ABSTRACT

A true story: Peter, aged 5, who was due to start school the next day, was running around excitedly telling his mother about how much he was going to learn at school, suddenly stopped and said: ‘Mummy, what if when I go to school all my blood goes to my head and I don’t have enough blood in my heart to love you?’ His brother, two years older, then said: ‘Don’t talk like that Peter, nobody talks like that at my school and it’s not even in the books’.
