To think this mother should have more sense?

I got a phonecall from the school today to say that DD had been 'bumped' by another child and had a cut above her eye. When I saw her it was actually quite nasty. I asked what had happened and she said "Coby" bumped heads with me. The thing is, this injury would never have been so bad if Coby wasn't wearing goggles. And not just for DD but for himself also. Apparantly this has happened a few times with him and its always the goggs that cause the damage, both to himself and others.

Obviously he can't help having to wear them but his mother insists on him wearing them in PE too which is when stuff like this happens.

AIBU??

Is the PE lesson underwater? If so inform OFSTED immediately.

MillyR · 07/01/2009 22:01

Like Jude Law in Sky Captain?

allnewcontrolfreaky · 07/01/2009 22:01

are we all agog(gle)?

My ds has a friend who has to wear protective goggle things because he's got something wrong with his retinas and can't risk getting a knock. It's particularly important he wears them when he's doing anything active.

Sparkletastic · 07/01/2009 22:02

Oh and I was soooooooo going to have an early night.

LilRedWG · 07/01/2009 22:03

Worried about contact lenses coming out and being lost?

pagwatch · 07/01/2009 22:03

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 07/01/2009 22:06

Ah now Seeker, that's interesting. In which perhaps there's not a lot the OP can do. Of course little Coby needs to wear them!

Clarissimo · 07/01/2009 22:07
