When you're a kid, your parents' reaction to your report card can almost be the end of your world. It was one of the reasons my father and I became estranged. I was not a dumb kid by any means, but my interests were specific. It was the areas that I didn't perform well in or the fact I was easily distracted that he always focussed on, never the good. I spent my last five years of high school avoiding him because he'd only ever focus on my schooling.

I think the daughter didn't do anything too bad. She's not trying to dodge out. She admit's she did poorly. By going to a friend's house and leaving a joke, it lets the parent cool down and think rationally before confronting the daughter, who is no doubt expecting the inevitable.

Sorry about the rambling; bad experience. This is a joke thread. Let's keep the happiness flowing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
