Oh dear! How forgetful of me!

Yesterday I woke my granddaughter up for school and waved her off as usual. I walked the dogs and then came home to relax with a cup of coffee. Then I heard a knock at the door. To my surprise it was my granddaughter complaining loudly that I had sent her to school on a Staff Training Day when school is closed! I knew I was getting forgetful but that's a first even for me. The worst thing for her was the fact she had seen some of the "cool kids" walking into town in their trendy clothes while she had her school uniform on! Oh well at least it got her out of bed early

She had nothing to complain, because she also forgot that it was Staff Training Day.

Yes, they usually remind them at school but she had forgotten too.

@sprite1950 I thought that she was as guilty as you were, even more, as she is the concerned one.

@sprite1950 I understand her feelings as she had to go to school even if she did not want to and ends up there is no school at all.

I once got my kids up for school, fed them, made sure they got dressed, and then drove them to school to drop them off....only to discover it was Saturday!

@sprite1950 Actually, they were both really upset that I woke them up early for no reason, since they couldn't go back to sleep at that point.

Yes she was embarrassed. I've never forgotten before. I think it was all the unpacking and mountains of washing from the camping trip that made me forget

@nela13 Well no, I always have to wake her up so she could have had a lie in!

Oh my goodness, how funny. Well not for your granddaughter. Poor kid!! I bet she won't let you live that down for a while. I haven't went that far but I have woken up and forgot what day it was and thought I either had to work or something. Next time, I bet she will remind you herself.

At least it got her out of bed early and she had a nice long day to play with her friends etc.

Now that's what you call an excellent attendance record: even there when the school's shut!

Joking aside she really does have a good attendance, I think it was 98% this last term although she has had 100% on previous occasions.

She didn't mind it because she likes to be outside and is normally very active.
