So, (seeing as it's Halloween) I was remembering something dd's teacher said at her parents evening last week. She said that one of the boys had started something called 'Bloody Mary' which basically involves the kids looking into a mirror, saying Bloody Mary 3 times and then she is supposed to appear, (bloody mary, that is!).
Now dd (aged 8) told me about this a few weeks ago; the girls had been doing this in the girls loo. I laughed at the time and thought it was a bit daft and silly, but no great shakes. It was brought up at parents evening as if it was a darkly sinister thing to do- teacher said 'I spoke to the children sternly about it and told them that they must not do it; I've spoken to all the parents about it tonight, etc.' (I guess the more sensitive members of the class were scared)- but AIBU to think this is kids being kids and what all kids do and no freakin big deal, or should I have told my daughter off sternly instead of laughing about it like a slack parent?
