FORTUNATELY       :D

Oh no .....  I didn't get bored .....  I made my own entertainment!!!!!!! 

My kids have seen my school reports.  I was a pest but my teachers didn't dislike me.  Several of them did put that I had an unfortunate sense of humor   ...... and I still have it.  :D

O  M  G   .........Hahahahahahaha

You truly were one of a kind.  I expect you were one of those kids, easily bored, needing a challenge.  Your poor mum !!

LOL

One Christmas I was chosen to do the carol sheets for a nativity performance.   They "chose" me probably to keep me out of a lesson.  So I stood in front of the old gestetner churning out oodles of carols sheets.  There were 5 or 6 sheets that had to be stapled together.  I took great pleasure in stapling them together ...... in various disorder.  No such thing as 1,2,3,4,5,6  ........ I did variants of 1,3,5,2,4,6 etc. All of them had 1 as the first page.  Then I sat upstairs in the gallery as the choir went for their first rehearsal.  They all started off nicely ..... until the time came to turn the first leaf.   :D

I was the exact opposite.....goody two-shoes, teachers loved me.  THEN, I hit my 30's and all hell broke loose !!

I wasn't a fan of Miss Mottershead and when I saw her on open night ..... before daughter started at Wolverhampton Girls High ...... I told my daughter I thought she would have a terrible time at the school because of my behaviour.  I wasn't a villain but school rules .... well .....  who keeps to them?  How funny that I went on to become a police woman enforcing rules.  Miss Mottershead and I glanced at each other and I was quick to avoid going anywhere near her until she walked straight up to me and asked if we'd met before.  I admitted I'd been one of her "naughty" girls and told her my name.  She nodded and went walkabout round the room.  A while later she came back to me and said she didn't think I'd been naughty .... just mischievous.  When she walked away I said to my daughter "you'll be ok. She must have lost her marbles."  Daughter never had any trouble ...... but then again .... she behaved.  :D

OMG.....what a sad story.  Bless the teachers who dedicated themselves to their work.

Don't underestimate yourself.

Miss Mottershead in the link was my head mistress and then my daughter's  ..... and daughter also had several of my former teachers.  I think they wised up to what a lazy pupil I was and made sure my daughter didn't get away with anything!!!

So true.  On the other hand, in my case....they could hardly help being smarter !

How did we bring up our daughters to be smarter than we are???  Should be a law against it.  LOL

Hahahaha.....some of us more than others !  Dtr is a world wide   traveler and hits the foriegn web sites often.  But....that is the LAST time I forward anything to her email !  HEE

Hi stargzr ...... whilst it's apparent that a lot of the people on the beach look oriental ......  who is to say that they weren't on holiday in sunny Germany?   And .... anyone can make a mistake ... know what I mean?  ;D

To all who spied my obvious goof......my daughter pointed out that this beach scene is NOT Germany, but is instead China !  Whatever, HOT is HOT.   LOL
