My youngest daughter has just started nursery class with a statement. Most of the mums are aware of my daughter as she has one-to-one and is a bit taller than the other children.
Anyway, on Monday, when I collected her from nursery I was slightly late (i.e. the door had already opened) and a lot of coats had been collected off the hanger. I collected DD, emptied her drawer and DD got her coat. As we were walking home I thought that I could not believe how dirty her coat was (it is white with fur around the hood) and did I really let her wear it to school that morning - she has about 4 coats on the go at any one time (one being worn, one in the wash - dirty child!, one being dried and one spare). I washed her coat and she wore another on to school yesterday (I work Tuesdays and Wednesdays and my friend gives DD breakfast and takes her to nursery). At school yesterday one of the mums came up to my friend and said that her DD had taken my DD's coat by mistake and my DD must have her DD's (if that makes sense). I am now a bit embarrassed that my DD has brought home the wrong coat and I thought it was so dirty I washed it (and it wasn't even hers).
My friend took my DD to nursery this morning with the other (clean) coat in a carrier bag and gave it to the other mum.
When my friend collected DD from nursery, the other mum came up to my friend and gave her back a carrier bag with a white g-string in it (mine that was attached to the velcro fastening on her daughter's coat).
I now have to face this mum in the morning. How embarrassed am I, I am at work sitting at my desk and feeling a bit hot and bothered.
