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. 🙄
E: Not if you run around enough. 😁
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 🤣🤣🤣

Was that the first time she had to do PE in barefeet?
I have to but used to it now. I guess you are in UK as barefoot PE is pretty common.

@Mariagirl They do gymnastics and dance without shoes, so not the first time.

Are all your PE lessons like that?

Yes, we are 🇬🇧🙂

@SunshineGirl No I have to go barefoot for PE and drama as lost my PE shoes when moving house a few months ago. In last term of school so not worth getting new ones.

@Mariagirl Oh dear, I hope you don't mind that too much 😕 My daughter loves PE and would much rather go barefoot than miss it altogether 🙂
