@Jellytotts I was so well behaved that my parents were completely unprepared for my sister 😂 She skipped school so often in her final year that I used to take her to work with me (she was actually their Saturday girl) and they let her work and even paid her. My logic was that at least someone knew where she was and what she was doing.2
