Communication Breakdown  Posted by: Lois Lindemann on: March 1st, 2008  Posted in: Uncategorized Tags for this post: Mr TLC | People Watching.  Whilst walking through Endcliffe Park today we saw a very frustrated toddler, who was on the verge of tears as he tried (unsuccessfully) to communicate something to his dad.
It made me remark that it was no wonder kids cry a lot, it must be incredibly difficult at that age, lacking the ability to express yourself and being unable to communicate even very basic ideas.
“What age is that?” retorted Mr TLC, “I thought all men from about 15 to 50 had that problem.”
Apparently so, Mr TLC Deliberate Misunderstanding.

The real three-legged cat
Welcome! Hi, I'm Lois Lindemann. Welcome to my blog!
This is where I blither on about life, the universe and everything - sometimes even three-legged cats.
I am: a resident of Sheffield (it's been my home town for more than 20 years), a Londoner, a teacher of maths and ICT and a student of French.
I like: cats, Sheffield, walking, doing the pub quiz, maths, cooking, reading, red wine, theatre, weekends in London, cycling, eating out, museums, gardening, going to the cinema, real ale, learning French and spending far too much time online. (My partner, Mr TLC, says this is making me sound like a lonely hearts ad. Oh well.)
Any opinions expressed in this blog are my own, I don't claim to speak for anyone else in education or outside of it. If you disagree, feel free to comment!

My youngest was a very unhappy baby, whose attitude was transformed when he learned to talk, even from the first word. We concluded that he’d been frustrated. He’s now 23 and extremely easy-going.
