Now she's at school she's blabbing about what goes on at home!

Dd was standing in line (reception) to go in this morning when the teacher, in front of all the other parents, smirks and asks "what happened to your glasses?"
I answered bewideredly, "sorry?"
She repeated "who has the glasses with only one arm on them", shocked I replied "I do Ds snapped them a couple of weeks ago and I haven't had a chance to get to the opticians"
Bear in mind that by this point every parent was engrossed in the conversation between us.
Teacher smirks again and states very loudly "we know all about what goes on at home" cue everyone looking at me.

I asked Dd when she got home how she ended up telling teacher about my glasses and she flatly denied all knowledge of the conversation, which then begs the question
"what am I likely to face tomorrow in terms of revelations & has this happened to anyone else?"

I"m not embarrassed by the fact that she knows Ds broke the glasses, more the fact that on day 3 of reception she chose not to have a quiet laugh with me and maybe whoever I was talking to on the yard, but created a tumbleweed effect by standing at the doors whilst I was about 4-5 metres away. She's not actually the teacher but the Nursery nurse who did the HV, but it transpires that Dd told the teacher not the broadcaster, which set me pondering what else she had 'discussed' and whether the whole staff room knew.
I could understand the liberty if Dd had gone to nursery there the year before or I was known to the school through siblings, but not one visit at home and 3rd day of school.

I'm just hoping she does this to someone else so it's not just me, as I've a sneaky suspicion Dd may well make this a regular thing.
Incidentally, her nursery report stated Dd "loves to talk about her family". Both my Dh and I read this and looked at each horrified before pissing ourselves laughing.

Both mine told the nursery staff " when Mammy has a baby" neither time I was preg although a friend of mine works in nursery and practically dived out of the room to ask me!
