I made my class cry today daddy

our daughter tells me

as she comes in from school.

.

Right

I ask.

.

Tell me more.

.

In English

she says

we were writing about our heroes.

.

And I wrote about mummy.

And when I read it out everyone was crying.

The teacher was crying.

.

Can I read you what I wrote

she asks.

.

I’d like that

I say.

.

Okay

she says.

Here you go.
