Yesterday my son had a great time playing with his new PS game until lunchtime. Then, all by himself, he announced, “I ought to study for an exam.”
So we started looking for his school bag. And we looked, and we searched, and we searched and searched, and searched.
And after about nine hours, we admitted to ourselves that we couldn’t find it anywhere.
We were all worried sick. Not so much for the cost of the books, as for the looming exams. The best we could think of was to go to the school and grovel, in the hope that they’d loan him some of the books at least.
So this morning, off we went.
And the bag was there, on the back of our son’s chair!
To be fair to our son, the day he left it at school, they had a party for Canary Day ofter recess, and his mind was pretty full of the upcoming trip.
But we could have lived without that, we really could.
