Last week on Thursday I came home to a hysterical Frederick! Someone had stolen his Reading Programme portfolio! He summed it up, as pretty much the doing of his ( witch ) sisters! They were always taking his books and looking into his things and ' invading my privacy ' and 'they never ask for my permission!'
He'd lost a whole month's work and he was even up to his Masters with Honours!
He was gutted.
So I told him there's no point crying about it. (After we searched high and low, even contemplated asking the neighbours if they saw anything suspicious happening from our house while we were asleep).
Told him to go into the Library and put in as much work as he could complete on Saturday and submit that to his teacher.
He completed about two weeks work in four days!
Although he didn't hit his target, we are proud of him for not giving up when he was hit with an unfortunate situation that was out of his control!
There were days when I didn't feel like getting out of bed this week. But Fred's Missing Portfolio Mystery pushed me on!
When life threw lemons at him he made lemonade with it. (After a lot of screaming and kicking). But he got there in the end - it's not his Masters but this is one Reading Degree story to be proud of - AND his crafty sisters won't be having any of the chocolate jelly tip Whittaker that he's getting tonight!
You go get them books Master Frederick!
