Gr...Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day, Sian! <br /><br />Great story and fun page to go with it - tell me that photo wasn't your class!! (but of course you could have been in costume...) I like scrap pages with old photos included - it's great to see a snapshot of history preserved for a bit longer, and given some extra context. How often you see boxes of photos, on those TV programmes about selling your stuff at auction, where there are no stories, no memories, not even names or dates on the back. It seems rather sad - they did mean something to someone, once. <br /><br />Your story made me smile. We had a girl named Annabel, in my class at school. Her mother was our teacher for a year and she had to call her "Mrs Brown". We always felt sorry when Annabel was in trouble, because we felt she got told off more severely than us... I suppose her mum may have been afraid of favouritism, but it seemed a bit rotten. <br />I had to smile at Bernice, saying that she called her mother "Mummy" when she was her class teacher - and so did some of her friends! J. used to call me "Mummy" when I helped in class - and the same thing happened to me occasionally too - or else the child couldn't remember my name and just said "J's Mummy?" when he/she wanted help!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-2772099063656891662011-04-04T22:17:10.908+01:002011-04-04T22:17:10.908+01:00I hope you had a lovely mothers day and got well a...I hope you had a lovely mothers day and got well and truly spoilt.

It made me think of my mother who was the only math teacher in my high school, so I had her for both algebra and geometry. Then we moved to a new state.
