Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 13, 2012

Apparently this is bad news for Holly. I don’t have any kids in school, so I don’t know what the punishment will be for Holly from the school. Anyone???

Well, well – you go Valerie! It might actually make Holly be on time if she has to feel the wrath of her teacher for changing clothes ten times!

Round 1 to mom, almost – but tomorrow is another day!

Make Holly walk to school when she pulls this stuff. That might work.

“Why??” Clueless! LOL!!

Mom should have just taken Alix to school and let Holly find her own way the best she could.

Hehehe! Revenge of the mom!

I bet she skips school rather than jump thru bureaucratic hoops…

What if the school calls? Whats the response going to be. What I dropped her off on time

I like how Alix switched moods after she learned Holly won’t be getting a note for school. :)

When my older daughter called to say that she had forgotten her gloves for band (again), I took them to school, approached her from behind while she was standing in parade formation, and clapped them onto her shoulder. She didn’t forget them again.

I never really understood that. Then again, I tend to favor function more than fashion.

Cannot pass up free opportunity to delegate!

Unless the mom is a doctor the difference between her note and no note is…diddly squat. I simply stopped writing notes after they informed me there is no parental excused absence—only physician accepted ones

And that’s the world of being parents of teenagers. Headache after headache. But there are rewards too.
