I have just had one of the most shocking experiences of my adult life!! I wish I was talking about a small crash or being burgled, which I can imagine are both scary enough, but I am ashamed to say my moment of terror came from dropping Steffani, my daughter off to her first day at primary school or ‘big school’ as she calls it. Steffani has been in nursery for a few years now and she was always very good, well behaved and social, so I thought that she would settle in fine, in her new environment.
This however was not the case and because of my thoughts I was underprepared for the reaction that Steffani produced!! It all started fine, I got her ready and we got to the school on time and met a few of the teachers including her class teacher Mrs.Drinkwater, who is a very nice lady. Mrs.Drinkwater escorted us too Steff’s classroom but before we got there she stopped to make Steff a nametag that all the new students were wearing. When Steff got hers she turned to me, pointing her finger and told me thank you for the lift but she is a ‘big girl’ and she will only need my services again when school is ‘finished for the day’, she then picked up her bag and instructed an intimidated Mrs.Drinkwater to show her to her class!!!
I was in total shock, there goes my daughter walking down the hallways to her class, without so much as giving me a wave goodbye, and she didn’t even turn around!! Make sure your kids are all set for going back to school: pencil case, new uniform, names tags uk, sandwich box and the rest because once the terms starts its going to be busy, busy , busy!
