Susan, in fact everyone does not know the rules.  I just discovered the
rules a few years ago and I am darned old.  Of course I didn't much care
back then and don't particularly care now.  I have more important things to
worry about.

We have been working with my six year old son Robbie to "get no marks" at
school.  He's a hyper little guy and drives his teachers crazy.  So we
started doing a "no marks for a week and you will get a prize".  The teacher
was out for a couple of days and the substitute teacher gave him no marks.
When the teacher came back, home comes a mark.  We are talking to him about
the mark and he says "I just can't do it with my teacher.  I gotta get her
out of there.".

Now THAT worries me!!!

Arthur, I think everyone knows the rules. However, sometimes our fingers and
brains aren't in synch. It happens to me all the time. I suppose it's up to
you whether something like this bothers you, but seems like a waste of good
energy to me. ;)
