Confused

I just clicked this link: Girls beat boys in infant classes on the BBC home page. I was expecting it to be an article about girls being given rulers and told by the teacher to use them to hit unruly boys. But, as you'll have realised by now if you've clicked, it's an article about girls doing better than boys at infant school level.

Did I imagine the girls-hitting-boys-with-rulers story? I thought I remembered it from earlier in the week, but now I think maybe I dreamt it...

You didn't imagine it, amazingly.

Indeed. It was in the Grauniad today.

I find it intriguing that you think I'd need to click on the link to realise its a story about girls doing better than boys. I guess at least you ahve the excuse that you saw a similar story but I am intrigued by the assumption that the headline tells of a story of physical violence rather than accadmeic accomplishment.

And yeah, that's probably a polite way of saying you're a psycho mad crazy lady. :)
