Heath (one day after school in casual, nonchalant tones): Mum, have you ever been to a prizegiving at school?
Me: Hmmmm (thinking long and hard, mind stretching faaaar back into the recesses of time), No, I don't THINK so.... I'd have to have longer to think about this.....
Heath: Would you like to go to one?
Me: That would be fun. Why? Have you won a prize or something?
Heath: (More nonchalant than ever)... Yeah, Year 12 Engineering Prize!
Me: What????? This is awesome! Picked him up and swung him around, for joy (not really! He's taller than me now!)
