SMART KID!

My fifteen year old daughter is going snowboarding with her high school class today.
I saw her off to the school bus this morning - there she was, bent beneath the weight of her school books, snowboard, snowboard boots, helmet and goggles, but happy...

As for myself, I am at home today, still not feeling well, but I had some banking to do on the Internet.
We have dial-up, so the telephone will go directly to our voice mail when the computer is in use.
When my banking was done, I checked my blog and I noticed there was a new comment.
I checked it, and saw that it was from a blogger unknown to me, except that I did notice part of the blog name included the name of my daughter.

Well, lo and behold, it was from her!
There was an urgent message to me...
"Mum, I forgot my boarding gloves! Will you bring them into town to school for me? Pleeeeease..."

She had gained access to a computer at school, set up her own blog and, knowing that I would not receive a phone call, sent me a message on my blog!
My smart girl took the (good) chance that I would check my blog at some time - hopefully before they set off for the ski hill.

It worked!
I immediately posted a message in her comment section notifying her that I'd bring her gloves to her right away.

I met my daughter at her classroom, gave her the gloves, and praised her for her brilliance and ingenuity!
