The legendary imponderables of bringing up a family! Full of humour and with a not entirely inappropriate cheeky wink here and there, Thomas Kausch relates events from his daughter’s childhood and time at school. As early as the nursery school he would show off a bit to win the favour of the staff and yet failed miserably when his daughter infected the child of a senior government spokesman with head-lice. Then at primary school he was a parent representative and pushed his luck with his daughter’s marks - with varying degrees of success. With Abitur at the end of the school career, he had a major examination to get through, too.
