Every mum’s nightmare ... part two!
Girl aged nine writes in homework: Without wine, my mummy’s life wouldn’t be worth living!
‘I just started laughing’
A SCHOOLGIRL wrote in class that her mother’s life ‘would not be worth living’ without her daily bottle of wine.
Jacqui Loxley, 48, was shocked when she spotted the comment while flicking through daughter Rose’s work during a parents’ evening.
Rose, nine, had been asked to write about what the Romans brought to England.
The pupil said the ancient civilisation’s greatest contribution had been wine – and claimed she had to open a bottle for her mother every day.
She also wrote that her mother’s life ‘would not be worth living’ without it.
Despite the embarrassment, Mrs Loxley, an administrative assistant from Braintree, Essex, says she ended up laughing about the classwork with the teacher. She said: ‘I had Rose’s termly learning conference and was sit- ting in a room full of parents looking through her books.
‘She had recently been studying the Romans so I was reading all her independent work.
‘When I was reading the work I just started laughing and immediately took a photo wanting to show my husband.
‘ Rose’s teacher had been away on long- term sick so hadn’t seen it. She laughed when I pointed it out to her.’
Mrs Loxley stressed that she does not in fact drink a bottle of wine a day and that her daughter is not forced to open them for her. She added: ‘I don’t idea from. know And where despite she got the that initial embarrassment from Rose’s comments about my love of wine, I can’t help but see the funny side now.
‘Everyone who has seen the photo of her work has been in hysterics – everyone has found it hilarious and has seen the funny side. ‘It’s definitely a piece of work of Rose’s that I won’t be forgetting any time soon.’ It comes after it was reported last week that another mother was drawn suffering from a hangover by her seven-year-old daughter for a school assignment. Margaret Stevenson, 39, found out her bad behaviour had been recorded after attending a parents’ evening.
