It's actually pretty true this time. She even had to forge our signatures on the submission form because we hadn't signed it yet and the deadline was that morning.

I never did that with my parents, but in college I soon realized that all my adviser did was to check that I didn't have any class conflicts. I thought "I can do that much myself" so for about the last 3 years of college I just forged his initials on the form and he never knew any better. It seems he wasn't keeping track of who he signed for, and who he didn't.

But, but, I thought Mom was handling that.
Don't hand me that buster, you know science fair is your territory.

Well is fairness to the adults, when kids hole up in their room it's hard the keep track of them, especially if they're good kids that don't stir up shit.

Happens all the time with Mav in particular. Mum, can you sign this, I have to hand it in tomorrow. He'll even come in and wake me up at midnight because he knows he wont see me in the morning. Well, he did once. Only once.
