Love this quote by John Lennon. It reminds me of the time my brother was asked to draw "plates" in school, and when he drew 2 round patterned plates for his teacher, she grew irate and said to him, plates man, don't you know what plates are??? Girls wear their hair in 'plates'. Being a bit overwhelmed, boet decided not to say a word but mum was called in as he was insubordinate and would not listen to instruction. My mum, of course tended to agree with boet and said he had drawn beautiful plates, which of course made teacher even more irate. Mum, relented and decided to explain to the afrikaans accented teacher that had she asked her son to draw plaites, and not plates he would have indeed done the correct drawing as having 3 big sisters with long hair he knew exactly what that was. I guess my point is that life is so full of misinterpreted conversations, misguided quotes and heated arguments, we tend to forget what we are all here for.....
