Tiny Happy People

One of the advantages of being at university is that half the time you're learning at home. So you get to watch a lot of daytime television.

This kid of about 8 or 9 scored 124 or something on Countdown today. He was getting nine-letter words all over the place. Apparently these words crop up in conversation.

Who on Earth has heard of the word 'crainiate' before today? Not me.


This is a wonderful feeling to have. I hate knowing words that other people don't. Knowing this kid has a larger vocabulary than me makes me feel normal.
