Well that didn’t last long

“Had a nice day at school Amy? What did you do?”

“Nuffin”

“Ok, so how was your first school dinner, what did you have?”

“Nuffin”

“Must be hungry then. Did your teacher tell you what you are going to do tomorrow?”

“I’ve got to go to school tomorrow? I don’t want to go again, I’ve been going every day!”

Haven’t the heart to tell her she’s got another 14 years…

And something else that didn’t last long:

gap x 2

    Ah, how well I remember those conversations. Or, me talking and my kids responding with “Nothing.”

    Turns out they really were just doing nothing all day.

    Ha! Oh yes…I have all that to look forward to tomorrow when mine go back to school (on a Friday?!)

    I reckon she’s been fighting and that’s why she’s losing teeth.

    I wouldn’t worry- Paris Hilton and Katie Price never got any A- levels, either, and look how they turned out.
    D’oh!

    Alexander said the same thing. He thought one day at school and he had learnt everything. Won’t it be 15 years now they have added a year?

    see, Dan, I’m not the only one who thinks she’s brawling ;)
    That, or she’s turning into a zombie and craving for brains..I’d sleep with one eye open (won’t be a problem..worrying as much as the good dad you are)

    Oh well, another one for the the tooth ferry.

    Sorry for the confusion but it was me posting. I should make it clearer when I steal Dan’s blog but seeing as I’ve only done it about 6 times in the last 3 years, I can see why no-one realised.

    Phil - She was really talkative on her first day, knew it wouldn’t last. My friends at work have been giving me questioning tips to find out what she’s been up to.

    Penelope - I heard about some other kids going back on a Friday, seemed a bit mean. The kids have great eyelashes but mine are more Maybelline unfortunately.

    Craig - It was over whether Gabriella or Sharpay was the coolest.

    Xbox - She’s taking great pleasure in showing everyone how she can poke her tongue out through it.

    James - I think Dan’s secretly pleased too

    JJ Daddy-O - We’ve already had a “you can’t wear that dress, it’s too short!” conversation this week.

    Gail - What’s this about another year?

    Arjan - Pleasant dreams for me tonight, thanks. She was rather excited when the tooth fairy left her lots of money this morning.

    Carla - of course :)

    Whit - It’s one repeated the world over, I’m sure

    This is so familiar!
    They always say “nuffin” though they’re so busy every little minute of their tiny life!
