A Matter of Priorities.

I have a great deal of respect for my daughter who combines much wisdom with a high level of natural intelligence. Together they make her formidable in the area of reason and debate, and I’ve often said that I learned more from her than she ever did from me. And yet as a child she had difficulty learning to tell the time. I used to think this was odd until I remembered what Arkwright said in an Episode of Open All Hours:

‘I’ve noticed that about people who've always got their head stuck in a book. They seldom know the price of baked beans.’
