school – The Family Duels

Eva’s going to a new school for 6th form so Isla gave her some advice –
Isla: Go for the smiling people, they’re the ones who want to make friends.
Eva: What else?
Isla: Be the smiling people.

Home-school has taken an unexpected turn –
Isla: I’ve finished my Art. Do you want to see some frottage?

Isla: Bullying is different at Grammar School. At my old school people picked on you for having the wrong trainers. Today a boy sneered at me for not knowing all my Roman Numerals.

Nothing dramatic about anyone in this house

Me: Why were you late to school this morning?
Eva: I don’t know what happened. My alarm went off, then I must’ve blacked out.
Me: I think the phrase is, ‘went back to sleep’.
