Things parents don't want to hear at a parent-teacher conference:

1] "...could be an honour student but doesn't want to put in the effort..."

2] "...seems to have discovered boys in the few months since Christmas, has become a bit of a social butterfly..."

3] "...sometimes displays an attitude that makes me leave the room to count to 10 before I can even think of responding to her..."

4] "...I don't know which of you she inherited her facial expressions from but she has the ability to give me a look that chills my blood..."


Of course, the only response M. has made since 5:30pm is "Boys??"

heh. She's been grounded. Obviously. And I do believe her dear old dad is even now out in the shed cleaning the shot gun.
