no notes in class

Posted by Lily Max on 25 March 2010 | 0 Comments

I didn’t prick myself and die
in the night. But I did dream
about sewing sparkly rainbow
sequins onto our school banner
for the interschools sports.
So when I got to class I asked
Mr Dot.com (our teacher) if we
could sew sequins during first
period. He said, no sorry Lily
Max, I love your ideas but today
we have to test spelling, maths
and reading.
Oh, moaned the class.
Can’t we stitch sequins instead -
it would be very good for our
fine motor skills, said Johnathon
Murphy. FMS are slower to
develop in boys than in girls.
Thank you for the useful tip
Johnathon.
Please can we Sir, I begged.
Shake of head and you've-got-
to-be-kidding stare from Mr
Dot.com. So I passed round a
note.... LM
