A broken finger

It hasn't slowed Thomas down too much. He did, however, break his left ring finger playing a schoolyard version of hockey. Nothing too spectacular: he fell down. So he was off school on Wednesday. I was glad of his company as I waited for Lucy's check up (just a weigh in, really). We played an epic game of go fish. And the best bit: when the only other person in the waiting room came over to chat, Thomas asked where she was from. 'Bangladesh,' she answered. 'Have you heard of it?' I smiled, and said to Thomas, 'What's the capital of Bangladesh?' 

Without hesitation, Thomas replied, 'Dhaka.' 

The look on the woman's face made my week.
