Copy Kitten returned tired but happy, clutching a packet of Parle-G biscuits and a very dirty and deflated costume. But I've washed and cleaned and kept it safely. So,if any of you need a Donald Duck, you know where to come.Sucharita Sarkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802171314546508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579335055133416337.post-65392293808593000842009-11-26T11:40:44.836+05:302009-11-26T11:40:44.836+05:30Hi Sumi!

I was lucky enough to be able to send him dressed as Spiderman for two consecutive years! First year I rented the costume. 2nd year Ma gifted him a costume on his birthday because by then he had become a Spidey fan! But this was just the annual fancy dress competition. Other than that I have to dress him up as Krishna, Hanuman, a patriot, a Disney character, and a postman (for world postal day)! You are absolutely right - schools have become atrociously demanding in their extra curriculars! Reading your blog I am HIGHLY tempted to vent my ire on Ritam's play school which invites Sanjay Khan (the actor) and Advani as chief guests for the annual school function and has instrumental music of "Roop Tera Mastana" playing as fillers intbetween stage performances! I was fuming! Anyway, am taking him out of the school this year! Just 3 more months of this absurd commercialism! Btw, we got a sms from the school that senior school children would be interacting with Amitabh Bacchan and it would be aired on TV. That got me grinding my teeth all over again!

Initially , I used to listen to what the teachers said word to word. Then I realized that doing that ends up having to deal with an angry hubby and two impatient kids. Do you need anything else to raise the blood pressure? The trophy's are rarely worth the pain!!!But of course, the kids will be happy when they out do the other kids in costumes or projects and stuff. Did someone say money can't buy happiness???? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579335055133416337.post-3527280648238679372009-11-19T09:46:58.994+05:302009-11-19T09:46:58.994+05:30hahahah..lol at the last para ..but these schools ...hahahah..lol at the last para ..but these schools are pathetic ..first they charge you so much and then the except you to do all the hard work ..grrSwatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263330596396584816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579335055133416337.post-15660919862716913272009-11-19T09:33:07.204+05:302009-11-19T09:33:07.204+05:30I can empathise with you.

By writing this, and by letting us share the story for free, you would be recouping some of the financial damage.<br /><br />But seriously, not forgetting that you yourself are a teacher, when will our teachers ever learn?

( perhaps i am reading too much newspapers) Perhaps the teacher and the tailor are hand in glove ! Maybe you should invoke the RTI act or something like that ! <br /><br />Why else would she want copy-kitten to be dressed like Donald Duck ! Next they would want Batman. Spiderman. He-Man. With a sword, webs et al. <br /><br />Silly ! yet, I hope copy-kitten enjoyed this well !Kavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426040093753611098noreply@blogger.com
