One morning a secondary form teacher approached me and requested I supervise a short detention for one of his students,
although he did not mention the student’s name at that tjme.

After lunch I was walking in the hall when a secondary boy walked up to me with a smile and said “Mr Patrick, do you like
me?”

I replied with a smile, and a bit surprised….. “Why yes of course I do”.

He then said “Oh good, because I am doing detention with you later”.

I was speechless and am still smiling.
