wow. that is excellent news.

 

Number Two:   Mom!!  I have GREAT news!   Mrs $%# can’t chaperone the field trip because she has a doctors appointment or something.  SOOOooooo, I told the teacher YOU could do it!  

Me:{monotone}  Oh.  Wow.  Super.

Number Two:  There is a note in my planner.  You have to sign it and say YES.  And if you say NO, I’m going to scratch it out and write YES. 

Me:  Okay.  Then I guess yes.  Let me just check my calendar.

Number Two:  Okay, but the field trip is on May 11th and today is only April 30th so even if you have plans you have plenty of time to reschedule.

{omg..  he’s soo my child}

Me:   Welp, looks like I’m going to the zoo.  With 120 third graders.  In May.  In Florida.  So it will be 90 degrees.  Elephants smell awesome when it’s 90 degrees.  You are right Number Two.. that is excellent news.

    At least it’s not kindergarteners! 9 to 10 year olds don’t need help in the potty……..maybe.
