Mr 9 bought a couple of horror chapter books, suitable for his age group if they're into that sort of thing.<br />He took it to school one day, and the teacher confiscated it and I got a call from the vice-principal saying it wasn't suitable for him. <br />When I told her I'd vetted it and was okay with it, and anyway, we'd bought it at the local Lutheran school, she snorted coffee all over the table! (We go to a small Catholic school). <br />Tee hee. <br />They gave him the book back in the end.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596142995497292286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-37764013431790301252010-11-08T09:05:19.262+11:002010-11-08T09:05:19.262+11:00I love a school fete!

Brilliant just what some people will donate to charity fetes and village fairs - it's always worth a rummage through other people's cast-off's for a bit of fun, and slightly less dodgy than going through their rubbish bins!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719765628886270649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-59877587738599527092010-11-08T08:33:27.237+11:002010-11-08T08:33:27.237+11:00Roaring with laughter!

There'd usually be 4 moms there when I arrived toiling away with their little face painting kits they'd bought at the local hobby store. Then the kids would see me set up with my 20 colors and multiple glitters and that would be that. I had 1 long line. The other moms would just shut down.Bodaciousboomerhttp://Bodaciousboomer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-18968071278606171892010-11-08T02:42:36.613+11:002010-11-08T02:42:36.613+11:00I love Maeve too!
