You are 100% right. I recall stepping on a rusty drawing pin when I was a child. The rusty metal penetrated my foot and as a consequence i was given a tetanus jab. Those days are long gone. 'Soups' are all the rage now!

Interesting to hear what you say about home schooling kids being more tempered & relaxed. We will be traveling for many years yet so will simply have to seek out the children in each area we stay and it will be a very multi-cultural experience for my kids ;)
