Hello Mum

with apologies to Joyce Grenfell

I had a rant today:

I asked my year 8 students not to blog helloMum posts.

What do you mean sir?

Well…you know those news items (usually on local TV) where a reporter interviews an eyewitness…

Mrs Pudding can you tell us what happened?

Well I was talking to my neighbour outside the shop when the lorry came right up on the pavement. It was horrible there was…

Meanwhile, behind Mrs. Pudding but clearly in shot, there are kids jumping around, waving and pulling faces for the camera

Now that’s a helloMum.

Now a helloMum post is easy to spot. It’s called something like:

Aaron is cool.

That’s all. No content. Just the title.

Aaron is cool.

Except of course cool is in upper case,

has six ‘o’s,

fifteen ‘l’s

and as many exclamation marks as will fit the title box.

Aaron, I have news for you.

Aaron, you are not cool.

In fact Aaron, you are an idiot.

DON’T POST STUFF THAT’S NOT WORTH READING.

Please.

It must have been a good rant. I got a small round of applause.
