"Everyday, money has to be sent into school. Dinner money, disco money, sponsored bring-a-measuring-jug to school day, etc. I’ll not lie, I spend most of my days rummaging for vessels for loose change. I had dreams once. Yesterday morning, something exciting happened. I found a sleek, blue, unused envelope in the cupboard and strutted into school with the dinner money in it, feeling bloody delighted with myself. Thought it a bit strange earlier when I found the envelope had come home again. Helpfully, that’s the exact moment I realised that it was the envelope with the hair from the toddler’s first haircut in it. So basically, I sent a sinister envelope of loose change and the hair of my young into the school. And they sent it back. Without saying anything. Probably won’t go back."We've all made mistakes and honestly it's so refreshing to see mums tell it like it is, warts (or baby hair) and all.
