My friends little girl bought home 7 chicks at Easter......that wouldn't go down well here!!

A few years ago my niece brought home the class kiwi along with a box of photos from it's previous home visits. In an attempt to do something a bit more unusual with it I took it with me skydiving for the day. As a student skydiver at the time I wasn't allowed to jump with it but a friend offered to do it instead. They videoed it 'flying' the plane up to altitude then the whole of the free fall sky dive and most of the parachute descent - right up until the point that they dropped it, from about 300 feet!!!! I was sick! It was mid winter and we were jumping over farm land. It took me about 3 hours to find it (and to this day I can't believe that I did). The kiwi went to school the next day washed and dried with a very exciting video and it's 'first free fall' certificate. I STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES!
Should Ds ever bring home a class bear when he starts school in August I can assure you that it will be doing nothing more exciting than going for a drive in the car, I couldn't face going through something like that again.

You know that the other parents in your nieces class probably hate you for your entry? lol

Lol lots. I'm sure they did at the time but I'm pretty positive they will have forgotten all about their weekend with it by now whereas I don't think I ever will!
