that my child was "burned to death" at school

My son is in year 7 at a secondary school. He came home all upset this evening as apprently they had their half termly fire drill.
Part of this is to hide various staff and children around the school to encourage vigilance.
My son was delighted to be selected. Apart from the fact that no on found him till the lesson after the drill when someone heard him scratching at the cupboard door.

Apparently all five other hiders had been accounted for.
Is this nromal? What shall my next step be?

damn damn damn

pinkblossom · 23/05/2008 20:15

Very, very funny. I was close to spitting out my nice glass of chilled white vino due to laughing so much.

"What, he just sat there, with the glue and paper and the pickled onions? He didn't even try to make a collage? Poor use of his time imo. I'm beginning to side with the teachers now. " Good one WT!!

pointydog · 23/05/2008 20:15

yes, but I am too polite to come straight out with it. There are quite a lot fo mn threads where I feel like saying, oh as if.

Hassled · 23/05/2008 20:16

Reading this has made my day - the pickled onions were a genius touch of detail .

Genius!

MehgaLegs · 23/05/2008 20:26

"No no, like a walk in cupboard, glue, pens etc. "

Cod for some reason I read this post and knew it was you! Weird

Very good though

Heeheehee.

Glad my nod to Alan partridge didn't go unnoticed Ten

Nbg · 23/05/2008 21:06

I read about your fire drill thingy earlier on and I wondered if it was you.

Thank god it is cos I have been PMSL at what I thought could have been some poor unfortunate year 7 boy.

KayHarker · 23/05/2008 21:32

It was the Partridge reference that tipped me over the edge from 'Oh, the poor kid, I shouldn't be laughing' into 'I know, but it is bloody funny'.

ladymariner · 23/05/2008 21:43

brilliant, cod,

onepieceoflollipop · 23/05/2008 21:43

Howled with laughter at this (tinged with occasional guilt in case someone had a distraught child at home).

Pointydog's posts were almost as amusing as the op's.

What's this - a sad pickled onion? ROFL a lot.

OMG Cod can actually type. Either that or it took her an hour to post each message
