I think I need a DNA test

Post by Pondrew » Mon Aug 29, 2022 6:21 pm

My daughter got her GCSE results on Thursday. She did so well it has crossed our minds that there was a mix up 16 years ago and we got the wrong kid.
I don't know whether to feel extremely proud or extremely concerned.

Six A** and four A* equivalents (they've changed to numbers, six 9s and four 8s). In the top 1% of UK results apparently.

Now she can't be mine, can she? She doesn't look like me either (thank Christ). :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    She's doing 'A' levels in Latin, German and 'classics'. Hoping she will work in a garden centre in Munich and be able to service her Triumph Stag.

    Thank you. She is so humble that she is embarrassed to tell anyone.
    Not me, though! :D
