Harry Ewing, then aged 10, wanted a Kiwitub. I first heard of him as
referred to by his parents Alison and Mark as 'the 10-year old.' Most
impressively, Harry researched his subject, collected the data, laid it
before his parents and made a case for the tub. He answered every
question and demurral. What could they do? Note for 10-year olds:
nagging just puts adults' backs up.Making a reasoned, researched
case puts it on an adult-to-adult basis - which has a MUCH better
chance of succeeding with reasonable parents. And it's extremely
good practice for Life.
(By the way, Mark describes them as living on a "life sentence block",
which I think is a screamingly funny term.)
Photo shows Harry, now aged 11, and his Grandma in Harry's tub. He
says she likes it because she gets properly warm feet.
