I've got to admit it, right now, that I am using the TV as a baby-sitter whilst I type this post. I don't think that makes me a bad person. They can learn alot from Ben 10 you know. I mean Little Prince has been at school all day and frankly, he is tired, or in his own words:
"Dad... I'm nackid.."
I think I am probably responsible for his use of the slang word 'knackered' and I almost choked on my redbush tea the first time he said it, I was actually proud and highly amused!
So anyway today's subject is parent's evenings or basically how to prepare for ... I wonder if I must dress smartly. I wonder if I should have a whole list of relevant questions to ask earnestly of the teacher. Finally, I wonder how I will take any negativity, after all, I take criticism myself very badly.
Then I got to thinking: LP is only FOUR and hey school at the moment is glorified playing wearing school uniform! Also, if the teacher sees me every day rocking up in odd socks and a crumpled dirty T Shirt then it aint gonna make any impact if she sees me looking uncomfortable in a suit. See I'm not the parent with the high-flying career in the city.. that's reserved for Mrs.SAHD. She can be the one to swoop in and ask the awkward questions and try and get LP promoted to the top set. I shall just stand back and try not to eat the biscuits (if there are any).
Any advice would be gladly received but you'd better be quick because the date for this milestone is tomorrow at 5:20 pm.
In any event I'll give you my observations after the event.
