DS is in trouble.
The conversation went:
Teacher - "DS, do you want mrs smith to help you with that?"
DS - "no."
DS was still struggling so lost his play. Got told off by the teacher and was asked "and why didn't you want Mrs smith to help you?"
DS "because her breath smells bad."
This is true. However DS has now lost tomorrows play and must write a letter of apology. AIBU to think this is over the top and if you don't want an answer don't ask the question?
