She asked me a few weeks ago if she could go to the Download festival 'in the summer'. I agreed in principle as I assumed it was in July or something. She is planning to buy at ticket from a friend who has ordered them but can no longer go (probably because her parents have just worked out when it is).
I have just found out that it is 8-10th June and she has 2 maths exams and 2 history exams in the week after - one of them first thing Monday morning.
Apparently she will 'revise at the festival when the bands she doesn't like are playing'.
Of course I said she can't go (am amazed that 3 of her friends who are also 16 are allowed). She is weeping and wailing and saying I am unfair.
Bloody hell - I am right aren't I?
