“I think that red would suit it, although blue is looking at me with a VERY CHEESY grin,” I said to myself.

“But mum this is my first ever report that is good!”

“You’re at standard in maths. I wanted you to be ABOVE STANDARD!” she shouted with frustration.

“Maybe next time son,” said my dad sorrowfully.
