Once, The Parental Bed Collapsed

Very Quickly, Without Really Looking Back Or Trying, I Was Just Suddenly Lifted Into Another Sphere.

I Sort Of Was Good At Writing Essays. I Was Never Very Good At Mathematics, And I Was Never Very Good At Algebra. I Loved Science, But I Wasn't Sure Of It.

If You've Got A Lot Of Children, I Think You Let The Other Children Bring Them Up More And You Just Sort Of Step In And Do Stuff Like Every Now And Again.

Once, The Parental Bed Collapsed Because All The Children Sat On It At Once.

I Spoke French A Bit, And I Could Speak A Bit Of This And That, And When You Were Taught Those Things By People Who Couldn't Really Do It, You Can Do Some Pretty Wonderfully, Imaginative Horrific Things To Teachers.
