Over Achiever

ADD boy is starting to work my itchy trigger finger! 

We get a letter about the grade 8 campout at the end of term along with an indemnity form. The compulsory event also costs R100, which must be handed in before 15th March. As is par for the course, the letter is given to me around dinner time. 

Connor asks that I please do it tonight as his O C D teacher wants it returned tomorrow, no excuses! Failure to comply means punishment. 

Considering I had about R10 in my purse, having not anticipated the sudden request, this proves a fairly challenging dilemma. Luckily Connor had some birthday money still lurking in his wallet! 

Having satisfactorily complied with the demands of the annoying educator, I laid eyes on my piggy bank that holds a wealth of wallet clogging shrapnel. If it wasn't for my sons integrity, I may be considerably tempted to send the required amount in 5 cent pieces, along with a note "How'd you like them apples?".
