It would be wrong, wouldn't it?
If I went and had verbally scared the crap out of a handful of Yr. 7 girls.
Yes, but did you really scare them or did they just roll their eyes at you?(I got a "whatever" from one of the Year 6s the other week. I was GOBSMACKED.)
...hmmmmmmmmm... i think *CONTEXT* would be the deciding factor. but i mean anyway, even if you HAD committed such a parental faux pas, it's not like you'd walk around for the rest of the day chuckling evilly or anything... :) :) :)
