pushy parents

GhostOfMumsnet · 08/02/2007 21:15

very, very odd mum and dad. do you think the dad actually gets a chance to speak?

wheresthehamster · 08/02/2007 21:15

The dad just sat and nodded.

Adam is cute. Seems very natural.

The others are a bit freaky.

brandy7 · 08/02/2007 21:17

wheresthehamster · 08/02/2007 21:18

I like the little maths genius.

GhostOfMumsnet · 08/02/2007 21:18

i think about 115? but i'm probably wrong

wheresthehamster · 08/02/2007 21:19

Isn't 150 supposed to represent genius level?

southeastastra · 08/02/2007 21:19

they remind me of the families on 'ask the family'

brandy7 · 08/02/2007 21:19

GhostOfMumsnet · 08/02/2007 21:19

GhostOfMumsnet · 08/02/2007 21:27

10weeksandcounting · 08/02/2007 21:28
