What is it about kids? Why do they give you a stack of school notices just as they are running late to get them to school.
Daughter had to run for the train and she shoves a notice in her father's face as he is eating his weetabix. Of course she is doing the selective parent option. You know the scheming of a girl-child using her guile on her father. Oh the innocent wide blue eyes, the fluttering eye lashes and that tight grip she has on his heart strings.
"Can I pleeeaaaaseeeeee (please) go on the Greece trip? It will help with Ancient History".

If it is not that kid it is the other one. He is already 10 minutes late ie you are supposed to leave at 8:45 and it is 8:55 my boyo. They take the register at 9:00. I know we are only 10 doors down the street but there is no way you will be able to get down the street and across in the traffic in less than 5 minutes. He promptly hands you a stack of notes, demands the lunch money and expects you to cover another text book while juggling the telephone and the mechanics of getting yourself to work.

Then just after you have said nope cannot or yeap can do x or y, read the 10 pages of notices, filled in multiple reply slips and got him out the door to school you notice that he has left half the sodding urgently required slips behind along with the lunch money and PE Kit. You then have to get yourself up to the school front reception desk and she is laughing at you cause you look and sound like a screaming banshee.
Days like this if you are anything like me you would rather turn around and go back to your bed or sit in the sun and knit or spin.
Mama Kotaatok! I hear you!
ReplyDeleteSend that girl to Greece!
Father has already caved... He filled the form out and daughter is dancing round. So it looks like she is off to Greece near Easter.
ReplyDeleteWhat generous, loving parents you are! She'll remember it forever. I always wanted to go on a school trip, but never did.
ReplyDeleteThe cost of the trip is very reasonable at £500 but she will still have to chip in with some of newspaper money. She has had a round since she was 13 and she hates it but it brings in just under tenner a week - depending on the leaflets. She has to chip in on school trips etc so she knows the value of money.
