Despite my overall dislike of the event, I must admit I always enjoyed the Halloween discos. The valentines discos were crap, though. I remember when I was about 5 (must have been in reception, tbh) I went to the valentines one with a few friends I had made so far in the year. Key Stage 1 would get their food first, then Key Stage 2. I remember eating my hot dog in the Year 2 classroom (or Infant 4 as it was known back then) and one of the mothers who the school would recruit into helping out came in and told me to go because the older kids needed to eat in a few minutes. When I told her my mam had told me not to rush my food (as ya do!) she snapped and yelled at me. Shouting at a 5 year old can only end badly....as she found out when I told my mam. What made it worse for her, and your not gonna believe this, she was our next door neighbour!
My mam had a right go at her about it, mind. I was standing there watching her shout it out (way past bedtime
) about how her older son was constantly bullying me, and how he once picked me up and threatened to throw me down a drain (he was seriously that bad), and once tried to pick me up and throw me in a skip for asking him why it was on our drive!
