Thanks for the comment.<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />Yes, I can't actually remember whether fear of the storm was a factor, but I think the chief one was to tease a very popular sister - hence th guilt feelings when we realised we'd put her in bad with matron.<br /><br /><b>Isabel</b><br />That one was a real beaut! Thank you so much for the comment.<br /><br /><b>manicddaily</b><br />A really lovely comment. I do so appreciate it. Thank you very much.<br /><br /><b>Pearl</b><br />What an interesting and useful response, so greatly valued. Thank you.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />Thank you so much. Remarks like this are very much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>Sheila</b><br />Yes, it was a great shame at the time. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Rachna</b><br />Thanks. Good to hear.<br /><br /><b>Rekha</b><br />Yes, I have found it very interesting to think back over events in my childhood and to try to imagine them happening now. In many cases they couldn't. Thank you for commenting and a warm welcome to you.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso</b><br />I think we all would have done. She was very popular with all the children.<br /><br /><b>Morning</b><br />Yes, the difference between being child-like and childish. I think matron mistok the one for the other.<br /><br /><b>Mama Zen</b><br />She was. Thank you for the compliment.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />Yup, that's certainly the impression one would get from this particular incident. But matron wasn't all bad - she framed one of my drawings and had it on her desk!!!<br /><br /><b>lynnaima</b><br />Welcome and many thanks.<br /><br /><b>kaykuala</b><br />Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>tariq mian</b><br />Hi, Good to have your comment. Thank you for it, and yes, she was great.<br /><br /><b>Cloudia</b><br />That's kids for ya!<br /><br /><b>sunny</b><br />Much thanks for the comment.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-45957437756765463242011-12-14T10:37:06.878+00:002011-12-14T10:37:06.878+00:00What a lovely Sister - shame about the Matron;-)What a lovely Sister - shame about the Matron;-)jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-63715771121721232592011-12-14T03:33:01.861+00:002011-12-14T03:33:01.861+00:00lovely poetry, Mr Davelovely poetry, Mr Davesunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194522376789894727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-35155119878507976782011-12-14T03:12:50.144+00:002011-12-14T03:12:50.144+00:00Naughty monkeys!
