Field trips are fun!


I heart hanging out with my kid's class although it was a little weird because she was actually out sick today -- she is burning up with The Fever -- but they were taking Muni and so had to have a minimum number of chaperon es or else the class couldn't go so..... Still fun though to see her peeps in action! Also, i do just have to say though, why sign on to teach a bunch of 10 year olds how to brush paint if you're someone who's annoyed by wriggly little people who are excited about playing with ink and brushes???? Seriously, the lady trainer was all "If I can have QUIET, please so i can show you how to do the bamboo stroke!!!!!" Pursed lips and all. Me and the other parents were like "Dude, they're 10! When you're 10 excited discussion means you might actually be retaining something about what you're supposed to be learning." She was also like, "brushes down, hands in your laps, don't touch anything on the table!" Whatev.

It was also interesting to see how some of those kids are with their rents. One boy whose mother was also chaperoning and who is quite the "high-powered" class parent wanted to ask him something as he walked out of the restroom and he just walked right by her. She was all "Terry? Terry? Terrryyyyy...???" The another parent standing with us said "TERRY!" and he snapped right around! Funny. Sad but still funny.

K. I promised a whole bunch of interested parties that i'd do something about all the laundry I've left lying all over the house for the last sixteen weeks (seriously, a proposal is only going to get you so much slack cut...) so I'm gonna go get to it. More later though, I'm sure, as i look for ways to procrastinate more effectively........
