My DD is an indigo child and speaks to angels. I am home schooling her.

Should I follow the Kundalina school of teaching?

Zen philosophy?

Tantric hippy woo and knitted yoghurt school of thought?

She hates maths and science so I will omit those. She is special and will save the earth doncha know.

She has grown her own garlic from the age of 2 months.

My cat has just pooed in her litter tray. I have shot her.

Can't be too careful she might venture outdoors..................and then your children might die.

Also, my neighbour's dog looked at me and drooled. Will he eat me and the DC's?

Question 622

Your partner has come home tonight with a large bunch of flowers for you. Should you

a) Throw partner out and change the locks, as this is clearly a guilt offering after some unforgivable indiscretion
b) Throw partner out and change the locks, as you realise that this gift represents the commodification of women under the patriarchy
c) Throw flowers out, as they clash horribly with your decor
d) Throw flowers out, as they are not organic and possibly even imported
e) You are a modern and independent woman and can buy your own flowers, thank you very much
f) Say "how lovely" and put the flowers in a vase
