Once in primary we had a fundraiser where you are given a letter. You get people you know to sign it and pledge a certain amount of money to the school (any amount, really). In return, you get to play on the bouncy castle on the deadline date for the letter. Our parents where allowed in, too.
I forgot mine, but had gotten a good few family friends (my mam got them all, due to being a supermarket worker, the regular staff where lovely). My teacher wouldn’t let me on the castle, and it was only there for the day. We didn’t have a car, so going home was out of the question.
My mam argued with the teacher for ages, but I couldn’t go on. We brought the letter in the next day… and my mam ripped it up in front of them.
