It’s a pretty normal question however it may have far reaching connotations. As far back as I can remember I have always been told that the white part of an egg is called “the white” and the yellow part is “the yolk”. Now of course this is not accurate as the white is called “the Albumen” and recently I began questioning why we only use the correct name for half the egg 🤔. Of course whilst the initial question is a little flippant in its wording it is an interesting concept that we are for some reason we are only choosing to educate our children when it is convenient. The only possible conclusions I can draw are as follows 1: It is not alluring enough to our ears 2: The entire world doesn’t know the correct term 3: We are a horrendously lazy society that can’t be bothered to teach our children the correct terminology. There may be some other alternative reasons but I am still yet to find one that I feel is sufficiently justified 🤔 On a similar note if you are a person who refers to Spaghetti Bolognese as “Spag Boll” i would suggest it is time to reconsider some of your life choices 🤣.

Have you ever noticed that when 2 children disagree more often than not the parents will also agree with their child and against the other child despite normally not being involved in the dispute. Whilst we all like to think of ourselves as fair and just, our minds somehow have a way of overriding our rational thought process. As a parent we inherit a maternal/paternal instinct that will help us nurture and develop our relationship with our child however on the flip side of that point we also develop a natural bias towards our offspring. As society evolves it seems our biases are also evolving, if you compare the parenting techniques of the last 50 years we can notice a significant difference, whereas before if I child was sent home from school then they would receive a stern riposte with possibly even physical connotations but jump to modern times and whilst this is not accurate in all cases you will notice a big difference if a child is sent home from school quite often they will go unpunished and in some extreme cases the parents will even question the school/educator. Personally I feel it is time to try and overcome our biases to make a more harmonious world in which our children can flourish it was Wordsworth who wrote to “err is to human” so just try and remember this simple technique the next time your child is involved in an altercation just ask yourself “is my child being an asshole” Gareth weekes 😁
