Samuel can be quite shy, but he is also has an adventurous spirit. Maybe that’s why a 6 year old talking fluent Spanish attracted his attention. See-saw’s are not as I remember them, nowadays they have springs as well as a pivot – maybe so that you don’t need equal weights. The little Spanish girl was definitely not he same weight as Sam and her enthusiastic see-saw action left her mother feeling quite ill at the thought that Samuel might be catapulted into orbit over our local housing estate. You could be forgiven for thinking that the little girl did not know any better but she had a tiny brother, about Sam’s age and her mother who shouted – ‘ reducir la velocidad - no es 1558.’ – while looking sheepishly at us as if to explain that her poor parenting skills are only to be expected in this mean world.
Sam actually enjoyed being thrust into space…
