Scene:
School pick-up time. Lots of kids, mums, dogs, prams, bikes etc - the same at every school. Very excited 7 year old runs to mum with a "head lice in school" notice.
Miss No.2: Mum, Mum, I can bring knitting home this week.
Mum: Oh no darling, this is just a notice about headlice.
Miss No.2: No! Mum, I can bring knitting home.
Mum: No darling "Nits" and headlice are the same thing. This just tells us that they're at school so we should check. It's not about knitting.
Miss No.2: Mu-um (note extra syllable and insert eye roll)
Child runs back to classroom and returns with plastic bag containing said knitting.
Mum: Oh, sorry. I misunderstood.
Mum launches into enthusiastic conversation with daughter about learning to "knit" at school as part of their art/craft class.
Oops
Moral - Listen to your children.
I'd have reacted the same way!!
