One mum’s legit call from the school
Principal: “I just wanted to touch base with you. Your daughter was baiting seagulls into the playground with gummy worms and actually caught one; Like in her arms. It did bite her - not hard, but I needed to inform you that we filed an incident report.” Daughter’s official statement about the event once she got home: “This could have been really fun, if *insert teachers last name* wasn’t scared of freakin birds and cried like a little girl about catching the bird flu. Like, hello, Covid exists. Nobody cares about the bird flu.” (who cares @DianaG2772)
