Reported conversations No. 17: Learning and life

Cold, grey and rainy.

Yesterday's pre-Christmas headless chicken act included having the children fitted with their post-Christmas ski-lessons kit.

Afterwards, AJ : "The first thing you have to learn about skiing, Mama, is that you have to learn to ski."

As Panda reluctantly chugged off into the curvy darkness of the lake road home, Mama thought to herself, "I guess that goes for a lot of things in life..."
