New times, new ways

The world's most perfect teenager got his physics test back yesterday. He managed to solve all the tasks and got the highest possible score. The fact that he also took the test in record time has contributed to his teacher now mistakenly believing that Junior is gifted. When I told our son to take after his friend and read through everything because he clearly has the ability to understand, I was told quote "mom..." unquote.

Both today and tomorrow are in-service training days at the offspring's school, which in my time meant "an extra day off", while for Junior it means actually doing his schoolwork, both the mandatory and optional. To give him some slack, we let him sleep in but make sure he goes to bed at his normal bedtime, to avoid him from turn the day around.
