Levi got in trouble today at After School Care. Now lets just get this in perspective. He has been at school since January and today is the first time he has been in trouble. Then it wasn't even AT school, it was at the much more relaxed After School Care. He and another kids got into trouble because they were running around and grabbing each other to tag. The problem was not the game, but what they decided to grab. So they both got a talking to about what exactly is or isn't private parts, and that perhaps if they made a mistake, someone was really going to hurt. Levi was mortified that he had got into trouble. The teacher said she almost cried because he was so upset. He had trouble dealing with it even when we talked about it at night. He had to hide under a pillow just to get it out. He is so funny. No one was even mad at him, but he was mortified that he had misread something and done something wrong.
Today I had lunch with a friend who was a teacher of mine at high school. She is doing a fellowship about the history of women's sport in Queensland. She was looking through the PE prizes at Girls' Grammar. Seems the person who won the first one ever awarded was Alice Nicklin, the same Alice that survived the Quetta. It was 1890 something. Since then several Nicklin girls had won the prize. It will be interesting to read that when it comes out. I wonder if she won the prize for swimming, because you can be sure that would have helped when the boat went down!
