kattiekitten:
I had been invited to a kids house for tea - her mum was having a bible study with an elder. Me and this kid were talking at the teatable, we were about 7. This kids parents were divorced, and was telling me quite embarrasing things about how her mum and dad fought. I felt sorry for the kid and thought it would help if i mutually disclosed. So i told her that my dad had thrown the ketchup bottle at my mum in an argument and the sauce had gone all over the ceiling. (It was true).The mum must have been listening, and promptly grassed up my fighting parents to the elder she was studying with (I thought you people didnt do things like that). The elders bollocked my parents, and my parents bollocked me.
Well I didnt throw the chuffin' sauce bottle did I?? I was only 7.
Secondly, I once wrote in my day book at school when I was 5 (it was at Christmas and we wer supposed to be writing about what we were looking forwrd to at christmas, but I had special dispensation to 'just write anything'). So I wrote "I do not celebrate christmas. I have lots of problems but I do not mind I can cope with them. It does not matter".
The school got in touch with my parents. I got bollocked.
(ive still got the day book, I showed my partner it the other day. Id be totally fooking humiliated if my daughter wrote anything like that.)
ROFLMAO... I'm just imagining what was going through your mind at the time. "I can cope with my problems,... honest, yeah,.... i'm coping.... coping....."
Actually i was really glad to miss out on the christmas stuff, it was soooo boring... i was often just allowed to go and play "Lemmings" on the old "Acorn Archimedes", which was the ONLY computer in the school at the time. I couldn't have given two hoots about christmas, easter and halloween.
It was birthdays that i had a problem with. If there was a birthday in the school cantine, my heart would start racing and i had to let everyone know that i wasn't going to sing. So at the first verse of "Happy Birthday" i would put my hands over my ears and go "LA LA LA LAAAAA!!", so that i couldn't hear the "satanic pagan chanting" that the other children were practicing.
