I had to leave the room

They have this system at my son’s school where everyone has their name on a chart, and they can move the names up or down depending on their behaviour. So each day they all start on green, and can move to silver or gold if they’re good, or orange and red if they’re not.

Since the start of term, he’s been coming home and proudly telling us that he’s been on green, silver, and even gold once. The other week he told us that he’d been moved down to orange on that day. When we asked him why, he squirmed a bit then said,

“Well, I accidentally wee’d on Callum.”

I had to try really hard not to laugh, keeping the aura of a firm parent, but then my wife asked him where (meaning ‘where at school did this happen?’), and he replied,

“In his pocket”.

I had to leave the room.
