What made you smile today? Part III

A tale from my neighbour.
She arrived at the cemetery on this most important of weekends to do her weekly tidy-up and lay flowers on her parents' graves. A sister she has broken off relations with was already there and at work, so, not wanting to back down, she set herself at the opposite end of the same grave and did her stuff, the pair each pretending the other wasn't there. She was seething, of course. Got the full story and pics when she got back home.

Parent-teacher conferences for my daughter tonight. So nice to hear the teachers say how they love having her in their class, and how well she's doing. I'm not exactly unbiased of course but she's a bit brilliant if you ask me


Nobody has ever seen anything like it. Probably the best daughter, ever, by far. 😜

We went away for a few days down south, and popped into an antiques shop that just happened to be owned by my kids' old Japanese teacher. She told us what a pleasure our kids were to teach, and that if all kids were like that she'd never have left teaching. It also makes me smile to see sultan back 👍👍

I always knew what my son's teachers were going to say before they said it: "Great kid, a pleasure to have in the class, but he never stops talking!"
Wonder where he got that from


Comment from the year five teacher of my second son, who I swear was born a freewheeling hippy - "He can be very disruptive in class, often interrupting me with comments. Trouble is, his comments are so funny that everyone laughs, even me". Little shit


Here's to laid back kids. Mine was, and remains, like that.
Anyway, you wouldn't want students who didn't make comments, would you.
