It’s been a pretty good start to the year for Sam.

He’s returned to school with all the enthusiasm you can expect from an 8-year-old. He’s firing through maths and English like Oscar Pistorius through a bathroom door, and this year he’s going on his first grown-up holiday abroad with his mum and some family friends.

As we’ve come to expect, he’s also banging out the pearls of wisdom on a daily basis.

So, because it’s Saturday night – and because my other half is currently attending a metal gig in Manchester, meaning I’m at somewhat of a loose end – here’s a short but (hopefully) satisfying helping of Stuff Sam Says; for your weekend pleasure…

On his dinner…

While having a bedtime chat with his mum about not hurting others.

Reassuring…

After being told by his mum that he’d have his Playstation taken away if he didn’t learn how to lose and deal with it…

*Turns out he learnt about individual liberty and freedom at school. They’re British values…

After overhearing a conversation between his mum and I on the fact that he’s articulate for his age…

And finally, taking liberties with his homework…

Silly sausage.
