The family loo – a place close to our hearts. (About half a body length, I suppose). When I was a kid, it was referred to as The House of Parliament – long sittings, loud reports, then the subject was dropped. Don’t mock it. Major decisions have been made there. A refuge in any busy household, where you can be alone and clear your mind – as well, that is.
You’ve read the paper there. You’ve stared at the same spot on the door and found many, many answers to difficult questions there, over the years. Your place of refuge. You know every inch of it. You know how many tiles there are. You know how many rows of tiles, and how many tiles in each row, along the floor and along each wall. You’ve counted them individually. You’ve calculated them by row density; you’ve made allowances in your formulae for the gap in rows where the cistern is.
It is, undoubtedly, the most important room in the house. After all, at a pinch you’d be prepared to double up in any room in the house – except that one. Well, it deserves some recognition. It’s time to upgrade it into an official Room of Learning, an icon of education – with the new Mind Trainer Loo Roll!
The Mind Trainer Loo Roll has ten puzzles and games imprinted onto it to help you stay alert, fresh and focused. Sudoku, memory trials word version, memory trials with numbers, brain exercises, math, colour counting, ladders, mental math …..
And kids, here’s the best part. If your teacher tells you that you’ve let your education go down the drain, just give him a roll and tell him to do with his test paper what you’ve been dying to tell him for years!
Word count: 295 excluding title.
