My youngest child has not had a good day – in fact, in his terms it was a “complete disaster”. When I went to collect him from school he was hiding behind a bush.
His shorts had split during morning play and he’d had to spend the rest of the day wearing girls tracksuit bottoms – not pink you understand, but a pale shade of grey, with slanting pockets and embroidery and with boot cut flicks at the bottom. It was all I could do not to laugh. He was mortified. He said “mum, I looked SO GAY and everybody laughed at me when I went into assembly”.
In addition, he forgot his PE kit, which would have helped as he could have worn his shorts and therefore missed rugby, which he loves AND to top it all his teacher hasn’t accepted him as a friend on Facebook. I told him he wouldn’t. Told him not to harass the grown-ups. Just had another email from a friend saying that he’s asked to be her friend. Good grief. If he wasn’t having such a rubbish day I might have got away with banning him again.
Teenage son passed his driving theory test.

January 14, 2010All my husbands nieces and nephews have been sending me friend requests. Seriously? As if I want 13 year old reading my blog, which is linked to me FB account. The very idea of it makes me feel unwell.
Poor little chap, hope he gets over his humiliation by tomorrow.

January 14, 2010Oh poor him, that’s the sort of event that stays with you forever…the humiliation which no one else ever remembers.

January 15, 2010Teachers are still sadists then. You’d think they would recognise how humiliating the trackie bottoms would have been for a little boy.

January 15, 2010Poor chap!
Don’t blame the teacher for not “friending” him on facebook though. If the teacher’s anything like my teaching friends, your son doesn’t want to know what they get up to!

January 16, 2010He’s going to remember that forever isn’t he x
