I Have A Sinking Feeling About This

(After a full term of swimming lessons, my four-year-old daughter’s teacher wants to meet me and give a report on my daughter’s progress.)

Teacher: “Your daughter never listens to my instructions.”

Me: “Really? That’s very unusual behaviour for her.”

Teacher: “Yes, I call [Another Name] and she looks but doesn’t respond.”

Me: “That’s because [Another Name] is not her name.”

(But it was her older sister’s name, which is why she took notice.)
