When I arrived my daughter's parent-teacher conference, the teacher a bit flustered, especially when she telling me that my little girl didn't always attention in class and was a little flighty. "For example, she'll do the wrong in the workbook," the teacher explained, "and I've found her sitting in the wrong ."

"I don't understand ," I replied defensively. "Where she have gotten that?"

The teacher went to reassure me that my daughter was doing fine in school and was and likeable. Finally, a pause, she added, "By the , Mrs. Johnson, our appointment was for tomorrow."
