Gosh Herman, how embarrassing for you - but well done for feeling brave enough to admit this on an open forum.

My daughter was chopping cauliflower last night and she remarked that the florets 'look like little brains'. Now if only we had had one of those puzzles, we could have expected a little more detail from an otherwise apparently quite bright 17 year old. Sigh.

Now that just proves that educational standards have gone down. When my mother performed certain manoeuvres with a knife on cauliflower as a young child preparing cauliflower cheese, she used to announce that she was performing a lobotomy.

How to put this? Maybe this says more about your mother than the education system? :wink:
