On Monday it was a party day at my sons school (6 years old ) and they could all wear their own clothes .One child ,David ) not his real name ) came in uniform . I was doing my usual volunteer 20 minutes reading session . And you could see he was getting upset even I was getting a bit choked at this point so I said come and talk to me and I said I would try and sort some thing out . So off we went to reception and asked the lady to telephone mum to see if she could bring some clothes in . No reply so I said " may be shes gone shopping " David says " nah shes in bed ,shes always in bed " I had some spare clothes in my car so I gave them to him to use (boy did he smile) At the end of the day he said he would bring them back tomorrow .Ok no problem I didnt expect to get them back anyway and I wasnt too concerned they were my boys play clothes only from Tescos and not expensive . This morning he gave them back to me in a carrier bag I said thankyou so much . When I felt them they were still wet I couldnt help it I thought lazy bitch she couldnt be bothered to dry them . Then I said to David I really appreciate you giving me the clothes back did mummy wash them or did you do it he said " oh I did it " well I said that was very kind of you. When he had gone I promptly and quietly cried ,that poor little 6 year old if I had known I would have said dont worry about washing them darling I can do it . He is 6 FGS I bet she dosnt bother to get out of bed and get hes breakfast either .
