1. Who said: “Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.“?
2. Who wrote, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten?
3. It’s too easy in French, genitori in Italian, padres in Spanish and in matua in Maori, what is it in English?
4. What is the current period of paid parental leave in NZ?
5. Which is your favourite Margaret Mahy book?
P.S. After last week’s premature post, I’ve checked and am sure today is Thursday, all day.

2. No idea, although there was a copy on the wall of my daughter’s kindergarten’s staff room.

5. A Lion in the Meadow, which I first read in the early 1970s- I still have my copy. I didn’t know that the author was a Kiwi until I came here!
