My son took his lunch money to school today in a kangaroo’s scrotum… and other back to school mishaps in Hedge End

Well my two went back to school today. My daughter wearing

my son’s old school sweater because I couldn’t find any of hers, and my son

with his lunch money in a souvenir kangaroo’s scrotum as I couldn’t find his

wallet. It took quite a while to find the kangaroo’s scrotum actually…

Name labels still haven’t arrived - possibly because I only

ordered them yesterday. So I quickly scribbled their names in their uniform

this morning. I probably didn’t need to do this though, as they can’t take

anything off – they haven’t got their PE kits with them (haven't bought them yet – do

they still need plimsolls?). I’m hoping they won’t have PE on their first day

back.

On the plus side I remembered where their school was and

what time they needed to be there - and we were on time. And they both went in

without so much as a glance in my direction. So all in all a successful start

to the year I feel.

Hm – what shall I do now?

Oh I forgot their WATER BOTTLES! Drat! And what time do they

finish…???!!

How’s everyone else coping? Any good stories out there?
