Little boy in Reception class, playing in the dressing up corner,wearing my enormous old lace curtains ,several metres long.
A riding hat,fur jacket and high boots .
He looked hilarious.
We thought the Head would like to see him so invited the boy to show the Head how well he had done with his reading.
So up the corridor we went ,the lace “ train “ following on for yards.
Round the corner to the Head’s office,he had an open door policy so saw what was coming.
I explained the child wanted to read to him - with barely controlled laughter the Head invited us in.
Reading over we made our way slowly back down the long corridor,the train once again taking its time, the high boots impeding progress.
The little boy was so proud to have read to the Head , had no idea how hilarious he looked and was entirely comfortable with it all.
Not sure what life dealt out to him in later life but I hope he is happy.
I can laugh for ages as the picture comes into my mind.
Viktoria.
P.S.
I feel sure Mart will have at least one badge below the photograph we see,I think it will say” For Clean Hands”.
