have wanted to slap the ignorant women at the Tate Liverpool today???

[toccatanfudge]

when, as we were looking around the Picasso exhibition a man with dwarfism (I'm still not sure that's the correc term is it??????) came in and DS3 (3) wandered over closer to him and looked at him. I didn't drag him away or call him back, I just let him look (and the said man smiled at him).

DS3 then came back to me and asked "why is that man that little".

I paused - as I had a mental block about the correct term (stii aren't - having a really blonde day today I think ) - and before I had a chance to say anything this woman stood next to us leant down to DS3 and said "it's beause he didn't eat all his vegetables up"

WTF???????? Yes really helpful thank you mrs ignorant woman. Like spieling crap is going to help/inform anyone ARGHHHH

Some art galleries are fab for kids, I went to one in the US that had a special taskfor them in each room "count how many men are in the pictures", if you see the colour red in a picture put your hand up etc. Really clever way of getting them to look at the art, and learn at the same time!

You could do this with any kid in any msueum, just be creative with the questions!

Ok, now I have to know why your dd hated Van Gogh if you can remember any choice details...
