On Tuesday morning I noticed that dd1, who's 7, had a stalk of hair sticking up at the top of her head. Someone had obviously cut her hair.
When I asked what happened she looked sad and told me a reception boy had been brandishing scissors in the playground and had cut her hair.
Obviously I took her to school and told a teacher. She was taken round the classes in an attempt to identify this boy but to no avail. All three reception classes were talked to very firmly about scissors and danger. The teachers were great and took it really seriously.
I was worried, not least because she had apparently been unable to defend herself against a boy two years her junior.
Anyway it was big worry and she got loads of sympathy.
However ..... I've just been clearing up under our dining room table and blow me if I didn't find A CLUMP OF DD'S HAIR.
How embarrassing is that?
What shall I do? I'm thinking the correct response would be to get her to apologise to the teachers. How traumatic though. I don't know if I could subject her to that but I know I should. Would you?
