Slander!

There's a backlog of blog posting to be done, but in the four minutes before I teach my next class, this tidbit for the girls' fans. Yesterday Mr. Allan reported a conversation he'd had with Edith during school.

Edith: This is my last day at school for a long time.

Mr. Allan: Really? Why?

Edith: My mommy is drinking a lot. I need to take care of her.

For the record, I donated blood Sunday and got woozy, so the attendants stressed my drinking a lot in the subsequent days. But even though Edith likes to take charge of the Britta pitcher, we're not keeping her out of school to pour for me.

Oh my gosh! How cute! My daughter is a teacher and teachers have the best jobs! They hear the cutest things - of course they have to keep it in perspective as well. Thanks for sharing Gretchen!

It's obviously time for an intervention!

Matilda told her teachers last week that her parents are sassy. When pressed, she added that we're sassy because we say "yes" and "no."
