oh, sweetheart, what a clever girl you are; why don't you tell me first who you think invented school?
I think, mummy, school must have been invented it must be by people like old grumpy Uncle Grim next door; and the grouchy Aunty Scowl who lives behind our house
oh no, darling, oh no, not at all: O darling, wise men and women of the past they invented school
oh, mummy, they couldn't have been wise not if you went to school and see what happens in class; surely those men and women of the past couldn't have been wise if they created places where little kids are tested every three days; and little John thinks he's stupid and little Sue says she'd rather stay at home and sleep; and Tua and Helen are always tense and nervous and Chandra snores while the teacher talks
oh no - oh, no darling, oh no, it's not like that at all: O darling, they were wise and all-knowing those sage men and women of the past who invented school so little children like you and your friends can go and learn all you need to know
but why mummy, why a school? is it because daddy and you and grandma and grandpa you know nothing and you can't teach me what I need to know?*
oh, no darling, oh no not at all; O darling, you must listen to mummy - wise men and women of the past most certainly they invented school
