It Came Right Back to Me!

My kids are great, you know that, I've mentioned it in the past; we were definitely blessed with kids who had their heads on their right way

That never stopped me expecting the worst, if the school phoned, or like today, a letter arrived addressed "To the Parent or Guardian".

You look at the envelope; you contemplate it for a minute, consider the possible options, and then tentatively open it.

It's worse when the letter has traveled all the way from the States... so you know it's something that has gone down, while you have been talking to him. Why hasn't he mentioned anything.

So I opened it, and I was conscious of the silence from above where beloved was waiting to hear my response.

I read through the letter... and as I laughed, I heard him shout, "Thought that would entertain you".

Don't get me wrong... it was a letter intimating trouble, but it was trouble he had told us about,and having been 22 once myself, "trouble" I had partook in too.

You don't turn 22 without celebrating in some form - and he had celebrated as only he and his team mates knew how. Drinking and dancing until they all fell over and the partying had started on campus, where Alcohol is prohibited.

So he and his roomies were all issued with punishment, and guardians notified.

I love that they send me official notification of this... and it will go in my scrap book, alongside the letter I received from the SFA advising that he had been issued 2 red cards in one game. It's so rare that either of them do anything wrong, it's always a treat for me to have a certificate for it.

I love my weans!
