Yesterday's corner time: 4 Minutes.
My first time in a foreign corner. It gave me an idea for a new feature which I may introduce to my blog at some point - Guest Corners.
Yesterday, we all went to France for the Day. My Dad likes to organize these trips so that we have an opportunity to immerse ourselves in a foreign culture. Although, as far as I can make out, these trips are less about French culture and more about ogling the women and buying huge quantities of French Wine.
After shopping and a long lunch we went for a walk around the old town of Boulogne. I discovered that if I donned my Dad's sunglasses and postured behind groups of French women, they giggled hysterically.
Seeing the success that I was having, my Dad snatched back his sunglasses and started to prance around like a fool. Within 5 minutes he had been arrested by the Gendarmes.
I haven't studied French law but I was surprised that a mid-life crisis was a deemed a criminal offence.
Anyway, after my Mum had chatted to the French police, they released him with just a warning. Mum gave him her own warning. I didn't catch all of it but it ended in "off".

we're battling, so i wanted to drop by and say hello. love your template... and all the talk of the naughty corner brings back waaaaaay too many memories of my childhood ;)
Thanks. So there is light at the end of the tunnel, or in my case, corner?

Should't that be 'is spending increasing amounts of time' or 'is spending more and more time'? If you 'increasingly spend' it is by nature more, no?
Still, you've got my vote; I can see how it's difficult for a toddler to come to terms with the grammar of the English language.
Yes, English Grammar is tricky. Even for the English.
I took the view that as I was emphasising that the time was continually going up, it was ok to put the "increasingly" with the "spend more and more".
Anyway, if it's wrong, blame my Dad!
