Grand Children's Sayings.

[Caran]

I collected the 8.5 year old twins from school today. They were very excited. "Nana we have been licensed" I asked what they meant. " we have been licensed to use a pen" I asked what that meant. They explained that up to now they had to use a pencil, but now their writing had improved and they could do proper joined up neat writing they were licensed to use a pen!!
Anyon else heard of this?
