As we were headed home, she is telling me all about her day and then she says that I have to be at the school at 7:15 tomorrow for early registration.
"Why are you just now telling me this?" I asked her, hating it when she waits until the last minute to give me important information like this.
"I just found out today" she replies.
Friday morning, she runs downstairs at 6:30. "Momma!" She says, concerned that we have overslept.
"Go get dressed, Sugar" I calmly tell her, as I roll out of the bed.
She comes back down less than two minutes later, dressed and ready - according to her.
"There's no way that you got ready that fast." I tell her, stunned at the speed she can actually go should the need arise.
"uh-hu" she says, trying to make me believe that she got dressed, including bra and deodorant, brushed her hair AND her teeth in under two minutes.
YEAH RIGHT!
"Get back up stairs and finish getting ready." I tell her, "and brush your teeth."
Deflated, she goes back upstairs and then I hear "There goes my bus right there."
"Don't worry about it, Sugar, just get ready."
"Okay," she replies, sounding relieved that she didn't get yelled at for missing her bus.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday that I had to be at your school at 7:15 today?"
"Yeah, tonight."
And THAT my friends, is why I was late for work this morning.
Note to parents of school aged children: When your child comes home the night before and tells you that you have to be at school at 7:15 the next day...be sure you discern if they mean AM or PM.
Welcome back! I have missed you! Been on a little bloggy break myself. It's a healthy thing.
ReplyDeleteWhen will we get that Amy to come back? Nag her a little for me. I miss her too!
