Cold feet!

12 yo wouldn't pack her school bag on Sunday night and she was still day dreaming in the morning so we were in a rush to make it to school in time. Sat down to my desk at 9.30am and got a call almost immediately:

M: I can't find my PE shoes.
E: Where did you leave them?
M: Dunno, your house or mine. Can you get them for me?
E: Not now, I need to prepare for a meeting. What are you doing in PE?
M: Badminton.
E: Well you should be alright in bare feet.
M: But I'll get cold. 馃檮
E: Not if you run around enough. 馃榿
M: *realises call is going nowhere* . . FINE! . . *ends call abruptly*

I phoned her at lunch to catch up.

M: Miss G told me off for being disorganised and forgetting stuff and I had VERY COLD FEET, but NOBODY CARES about my feelings 馃ぃ馃ぃ馃ぃ

SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 Only if she forgets her PE things.

@SunshineGirl Has she done that often?
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 Maybe, but I only get to hear about it if she phones me 馃檪
GkB0151-55, M
@SunshineGirl I'm guessing she gets no sympathy from you
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 Not enough to drag me from my desk 馃檪
GkB0151-55, M
@SunshineGirl Are the kit requirements for footwear plimsolls or bare feet?
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 Non-marking trainers.
GkB0151-55, M
@SunshineGirl Was she the only one without trainers for the badminton lesson?
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 I suspect so from her moaning 馃檪
GkB0151-55, M
@SunshineGirl Not all that comfortable with it then
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@GkB01 Serves her right for being disorganised . . actions have consequences!
