My mathematician husband often likes to use mathematics against me. For instance, he often says things like: I’m much more likely to die in a car crash than an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
So what are the statistics? According to the Auckland Regional Council civil defence management page, there’s a 5% chance over any 50 year period of the Auckland volcanic field erupting. This seems quite high to me. By comparison, I have a 0.5% chance of dying in a car crash over the next 50 years, assuming a 1 in 10,000 rate per year. Of course I may not die in a volcanic eruption but quite frankly, I’d rather not live through one either.
Daniel’s teacher has put in a referral for him to be assessed by a speech therapist. The school is very confident he’ll qualify for support because his speech is still very difficult to understand. Some of the things he says:
bird – bord
elephant – elephinet
spider – sider
vase – base
school – sool
I was at the supermarket with Elizabeth this week and someone walked past with a child and the child pointed at Elizabeth and said “baby”. Elizabeth was not happy and responded with “I not a baby, I Elizabeth”.
