... so then, DS (3, often read as younger) up and writes his name. In more than one alphabet. In front of a large and avidly watching crowd of under 6s and their parents.

But it was ok, because we were the official "freaks" anyway.

There was a pause, but no awkward looks, no awkward comments, nothing.

Sometimes I wish I had a "freak" tatoo on my forehead smile

DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!
