Said Mrs. Pot to Brandon KettleAs I have reviewed Brandon's homework over the last few weeks, I have noticed that most of the time he gets an answer wrong it's because he has rushed through and made a careless mistake. Like a good mother, I have pointed this out so many times that the cat could deliver my speech about it.
So I was not surprised when Brandon brought home a note from his teacher today about this very thing. I was however, shocked beyond belief when I read the letter. Please read slowly and carefully so you don't miss the irony.
"Mrs. Gresak,
Brandon please be careful when you are doing your assignments so that you do make careless mistakes. Please discuss this issue with Brandon so that he can improve. Thanks.
Mrs. Johnson"
So just to save my own sanity...
Dear Mrs. Johnson,
Is this letter intended for Brandon or for me? We were all a bit confused by your greeting. Either way, I will most definitely continue to stress this issue with Brandon, but it may be difficult since he is obviously getting conflicting advice at school and at home. I am trying to prevent his careless mistakes and you are apparently encouraging him to make some more. It was so thoughtful of you to ask him to continue making careless mistakes on his assignments. I will sleep easier at night knowing you are molding him into a master of words and grammatical correctness.
