My nearly 8-year-old was a bit stroppy last night and I did what any parent would do -- took away her Club Penguin cards. She wasn't very happy about it and left me this note while I was in the bath:
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am caping* outside tonight.
Tomorrow I will leave.
Emily
*I think she meant "camping".
Oh dear. What would the neighbours say if they saw her outside in a tent? It's way too cold.
(Do not fret, alls well that ends well. We had a cuddle before she went to bed and she told me she will be much happier when she gets a rest -- and her Club Penguin cards back).
