Yesterday’s corner time: 7 Minutes.
Today I helped Mum complete my school questionnaire, the purpose of which is to provide my teacher some valuable insight into my personality in order to help me settle into my new class.
I couldn’t help but notice that Mum tended to ignore my initial answers, preferring instead to coax me towards more acceptable responses.
For example:
Q. Are you looking forward to starting school?
Matthew: No.
Mum: Yes, very excited.
Q. What are you looking forward to most?
Matthew: Lunch.
Mum: Learning lots of new things.
Q. What’s your favourite toy?
Matthew: My stick with the red bit on the end.
Mum: My Bicycle.
Q. What makes you happy?
Matthew: Running around and fighting.
Mum: Riding my bicycle.
Q. What makes you sad?
Matthew: Being told off for running around and fighting.
Mum: Not being able to ride my bicycle.
My psychological profile will probably suggest that I’m female and in my early thirties.
I might be in for a bumpy ride.
Matthew.

Luckily, females in their early thirties get all the special treatment. ;-)
It'll be better in a year or two when you can read and write well enough to fill out the forms without the parents knowing they even exist.
Ha, what a lovely blog you have. I bet you and my four year old daughter would have a great time. She is quite the handful herself.
