Poster: A snowHead
|
Rock the piste has the multi award winning Rag n Bone Man playing free in Avoriaz on Thursday afternoon.
We have a bit of a dilemna as it is a great opportunity for 2 of our sons (15 & 16) to see him play on their doorstep.
The 17 yr old has his Bac coming up, and is way too honest to bunk off to go to the gig so wanted no part of this.
The younger 2 do not have big exams this year, and it would be easy to call the school to say that had a 24 hour stomach bug thing.
On the one hand we'd like them to go, but on the other we do not want to set an example that its okay to be openly dishonest, or to bunk off, as this goes against the grain of what we have been trying to teach them for the last 16 years.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how to play tis ?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Go to the gig, life is too short. I wouldn't tell you or the kids to lie as its too easy to get caught out on social media. Mrs BB works in a school and facebook is her first port of call if kids are absent from school.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Tell the school they will be absent because you must attend a family gathering. Then go and have fun. Make sure the kids catch up with anything they missed by the weekend. Don't tell blatant lies...just massage the truth until it fits.
You know what they say about all work and no play.

@WindOfChange,
1. Definitely don't lie about it.
2. Personally I'd say don't go. He may be good, but I'm not sure R&B Man is quite that unmissable. There will be plenty more opportunities to see him and a million other gigs to go to.
3. As you say, .... 'this goes against the grain of what we have been trying to teach them for the last 16 years'

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

GO! Sometimes you have to go and break the bloody rules and take your kids and have fun. Seize the day - you never know what is around the corner.

You'll need to Register first of course.

I should think that the school would have to be pretty thick not to spot a lie on that one. Presumably they are going to be aware that Rock the Piste is going on and presumably will be anticipating an uptick in the level of '24 hour bugs'.
