If your parents threatened to send you to school in your pyjamas, did they ever carry out the threat?

In boarding school I got picked on by a prefect who thought my slowness in getting up in the morning was down to laziness (it was because I trained hard for gymnastics and needed more sleep than most girls). One morning she made me go to registration in my pyjamas and slippers and explain to the teacher why I was dressed like that. Not much of a punishment when you are 8 years old and spending all day in your pyjamas seems the most awesome thing ever 🤣 The only downside was missing breakfast!

Oh gosh how could i have forgotten the old sayong from my mum "if you don't hurry up youll be going to school in your pyjamas" fortunately the threat was enough for me and it never actually happened. I do remember one girl in primary school though that did arrive for registration late and in her pjs uniform handed in afterwards at reception in a carrier bag.

@Ross19 Awh, hope she wasn't upset about it. The registration room was only 50m away from my dorm, so not far to go back to get changed 🙂

@SunshineGirl my memory of it is a bit hazy but i do recall she seemed upset about it just in the classroom in her pjs and nothing else, shed obviously been put in the car like that and her mum deliberately waiting to get her to school before allowing her to dress.
