In part 1 I mentioned how we entered our daughter in a poetry contest despite her protestations that she didn't want to submit the poem..... and then she won first prize and was really upset.
Well now a couple of weeks later we discovered the next chapter in the unfortunate events scenario..... she hadn't written the poem, she had just copied it down from somewhere (she can't remember where). Officially we didn't give her a chance to tell us that she hadn't written it, however I think she learnt a bit of a lesson about straightening out any misunderstandings as soon as possible.
And our lesson has well and truly been learnt.... 1) give your kids a chance to speak and 2) listen to them when they have spoken!
Everything worked out well, the first prize went to the runner up etc. and the mistake was caught before it went into the print brochures!
