The paths of school life & mine are destined to cross repeatedly lately.
Yesterday, son 3's art teacher rang to say how upset she was with his homework, which in her opinion was rubbish!  'He's so talented. one of my top students, it's a tragedy to see this go to waste' - the reverse psychology was working! obviously he gets it from my side of the family!  Anyway, I passed on the reverse psychology upon his return from school & it had the desired effect.......RESULT!

However, I learned that this was to be short lived. My devilish angel sheepishly confessed that, whilst bored with the set task in an IT lesson, he decided to do a bit of virtual internet shopping & ordered a quad bike! quoting my name etc & a list of random numbers as credit card details, (this goes a long way to explaining the odd e-mails & phone calls, I've had of late).
After clicking 'confirm' a 'your order has been submitted' flashed before him, panic set in & he eventually confided to his teacher what he'd been up to.
Interestingly, on this occasion the school choose not to phone me! - hubby has reluctantly 'volunteered' to phone Mr quad bike shop today to explain.

With the sound knowledge that I've brought a criminal art genius into the world, am considering becoming an IT teacher......they seem to have a much quieter life!
