Actress Jennifer Aniston was at the receiving end of a dressing down when she turned up late for a talk to pupils about the importance of water nutrition.

Aniston is a spokeswoman for vitamin-enhanced Smartwater and was scheduled to call on Cahuenga Elementary School to be a part of a question and answer session with kids about the benefits of water.

But, after she turned up a few minutes late, school head Lloyd Housky bravely told her, “As a school principal, I need to tell you that you cannot keep our children waiting!”

The actress confessed punctuality wasn’t in her dictionary and replied, "I understand! I got that message from my principal when I was going to school, too!"

And you’d think she could at least have apologized first. But methinks she never got the message from the principal in her younger years.
