Parents evening

Twice, last night, a kid contradicted their parent.

1.
Mum: 'Well, she should be doing well, she loved maths in primary school'.
Sparky: 'No, I didn't.'
Mum: 'Yes you did! You were good at it!'
Sparky: 'It was horrible.'

2.
Mum: 'Now look, my daughter is scared of getting a detention in your class and that's just not right. She's a good kid and shouldn't have to be scared, it's completely unnecessary and bad for her education. I want to know what you think you're achieving by scaring my daughter!'
Me: 'Uh......have I ever given anyone in your class a detention? I don't think so...'
Kid: *bright red* 'Uh, Mum...it's not this teacher.'
Mum: 'Ah, right, well, sorry then, I guess...'
