So True...
I talk to my mother earlier tonight and told her what I have been doing tonight. The subject here on the boards...after a long sigh.....

It never failed she said. If the teacher left the room and all the children starting talking loudly and goofing around, mine would be the loudest, push and shove the hardest and when the teacher would come on back the others would turn off like a switch, but not mine, it just wasn't possible so she would take the blunt of the teachers anger.

I always had to ask? was everyone doing it or just mine?

and you were no angel she said. Teachers calling saying that you don't pay attention in class, always the joker. Yet, your work was always done, on time and your grades were almost perfect. Bored you were they said, go figure. There was nothing they could do to you but ask for you to be push ahead.
Why couldn't things be more balanced between you kids she laughed?
