Pantene and homework.

Okay I rarely watch TV anymore nowadays so I miss a lot of stuff. Tonight I am watching and there is a new pantene ad. Hair ads always grate on my nerves but this one is just ridiculous. A few chicks with ultra shiny GHD'd hair wearing blindfolds that supposedly are amazed at how their hair has suddenly become so much silkier and smoother after using Pantene.

Okay so firstly...Were they wearing the blindfolds while someone washed, conditioned, blow dried and straightened their hair?? Is that even possible? And secondly the ad says "after 14 days". They were wearing blindfolds for FOURTEEN DAYS!!?? And never touched their hair once during that time?

Also ridiculous - Emma comes home with her second homework sheet for the year. We sit down the first day she gets it to get stuck into it since you know, it's the second week of school and we are all organised and not frantically scribbling out stuff the morning it's due, swearing that next week will be different and all that...

So, I currently have a cold (don't even get me started on venting about snot. SO WRONG. Vile stuff. Even my own. *gag*) plus I've come off night shift so my usually high level of intellect is somewhat compromised at the moment. Two questions on the sheet had me completely perplexed and questioning my sanity:

Q1. Ben arrives at the Valentines day dance half an hour late. What time does Ben arrive?

Q2. Ben wants to buy an ice cream and a drink of juice at the dance. How much money does he need?

There was no other information relating to those questions. I sat there for like ten minutes re-reading and re-reading and thinking "there is something wrong with me, why can't I figure this out??"

So this morning I decide I will swallow my pride for the sake of my child's education and admit to the teacher I am struggling with my daughters year 2 homework. Imagine my relief when she explained they forgot to copy in the text with the information necessary to answer the questions. Oh well of course, I mean OBVIOUSLY. I just wanted to point out the error to her was all.

Yeah.
