My 11yo came home from school today:
"Dad! We can't get rid of any of our Roald Dahl books. They're changing the words in them. My class talked about it and we all think it's stupid".
A few months back, my 16yo was telling me about a class conversation about their futures, and what everyone wanted most was a stable relationship, a job they enjoyed and to be able to afford a modest house.
It's reassuring that in a seemingly insane world, the kids who are coming up seem have their heads screwed on straight.
