    Telling secrets at school

    By bigpumpkin | November 15, 2008

    Today, Tee’s teacher told me that she complained that she was really frustrated because her Mom made her do maths which she didn’t like. She said it was too difficult and she felt very frustrated! Then she said she was also bored of her Mother because her Mother talked too much all the time.  o_o

    Just to set the record straight, she hadn’t done any maths for a few weeks and I felt like being the evil dragon that day thought I’d better make her practise some numbers before she forgets everything she had learned at school. We made a deal. 20 minutes maths, 20 minutes play, 20 minutes maths, 20 minutes play. She agreed. In fact, when she got her ‘reward’, she even exclaimed, “Mom! I love maths!” *roll eyeballs*

    Before you know it, she’ll be telling her teachers about the porcupine tattoo on my inner thigh and how I make her wash her own body and how I strangle her when I wipe her wet neck and how I purposely pull her hair when I tie it and how I only have a shouting voice and how I only read her 10 books to bed, not a hundred…………………………..and the list goes on.

    At this rate, I’d better be careful not to get arrested by social welfare!
