Egyptian Jokes, and other ways for children to pass the time.

No internet, no Gameboys, no Playstation. How do the children survive? Well apart from Lachlan and Gilleasbuig trying to maim each other and not get found out, we play a lot of cards, read, write diaries and try to broaden the childrens' education. A current favourite is also to make up Egyptian jokes. The best so far is from Iona. Lachlan has a wobbly tooth. Who will come when it falls out? The Tooth Pharaoh! Boom Boom. The childrens' Arabic is improving. They can all count to ten and are getting good at the basic pleasantries - hello, goodbye, thank you etc. So the teachers at Dainfern and Teacher Sandi needn't worry too much. They are still learning!
