The Red Book

The red book is the "naughty" book at the girls' school. That is the worst consequence besides going to home and being suspended I guess. Hannah had her name written in it Thursday. It's all quite comical actually.

Thursday just before dinner, my friend called me and asked if I had heard what our two kids did to get in the red book. I was thinking they got into a fight or something horrible...I mean it's the red book. Hannah hadn't mentioned it and her teacher didn't talk to Dan so I had no clue. Apparently, Hannah and her friend decided it would be fun to climb over the bathroom stalls. Hannah went first and her friend followed. I went into the kitchen to talk to Hannah and see if I could get it out of her.

"Hannah, did something happen at school today?"
"I can totally climb the walls in the bathroom!"
"Who's idea was that?"
"Mine, I did it first."
"Oh, someone else was with you?"
"Yes, (And then she said her friend's name.)"
"And did something else happen."
"We got our names in the red book, no biggie."

She was totally unaffected by the red book consequence. I had to try my best not to laugh. Her teacher while telling my friend what had happened had a grin on her face the whole time. They were put in the red book so they could see how serious and dangerous climbing over the bathroom stalls were. I don't think they had to put their names in it but oh well...Dan and I just let Hannah know how dangerous it was to do that. How were we suppose to ground her for that???!!! And so my daughter's name is in the book for all those who follow will see her name...oh that daring Hannah.
