# It burns!!

I am stunned. My mind is spinning.

My child, hereafter referred to as The Wild Monkey, or tWM:

tWM had an assignment due in late August/early September.

We wrote her a note to get an extension because it was due on the day that we got back from a weekend in Bundaberg.

We then made sure the assignment was finished. We were on her back constantly to ensure the assignment was finished. I read the assignment with her after it was done to make sure it was written in English, and then read it again after she did re-write it in English.

She then emailed it to the teacher as per the agreement with said teacher.

Couple of weeks later, she prints off the assignment. Tells D “The teacher lost it and wants it handed in again.” D tells her “I want to see the report back from the teacher as soon as you get it and there better not be lost marks for lateness.”...”No no no, there won’t be” says tWM

D just got a call from the teacher…assignment was never handed in. Also, a note was forged to explain that the assignment was late because the printer was broken.

How can the kid be so dumb as to do 99% of it, all the hard stuff, and then not do the easiest 1% of the whole job, the giving to teacher part? How? I would have said it was unpossible, and yet…

I am waiting the terrifying confirmation that the note – the one explaining that the printer was broken – was printed.
